Farever changes
v0.1.6
Hey Everyone! We have a new a patch focused on the balancing aspect of the game! With this one we're concluding the "post-release" wave of heavy patches to focus our entire attention to the content update!
Balancing
A quick word on balancing: We are absolutely thrilled to see the various builds emerging within the community, each vying for ingenuity to get the most out of a class or weapon combination. We want to ensure that all classes can hold their own and remain both fun and powerful enough to successfully tackle the content we’re preparing. In that sense, when classes underperform or overperform, balancing adjustments will be applied. For example, self-healing talents lead to some builds being too strong; the ones that were pure attribute boosts were too powerful given that this was the first talent tree for each class. We knew that warriors and priests were a bit overpowered, while rogues were struggling a bit. Balancing in Farever is a living process; no change is permanent and we'll be listening to the community to create a game environment where everyone can have fun.
General
Critical Strike Rating conversion to Critical chance rating has been lowered by 5%.
Blocking now also prevents status application.
Fervor, Physical Mastery and Magic Mastery bonuses are now applied before calculating Critical strikes.
Class
Warrior
Warriors were true all-around machines capable of delivering massive burst damage or unmatched tanking, but the most offensive builds were also the ones with the most sustain. The talent tree is diverse, but the healing provided by its talent was just as powerful (if not more so) than that of a weapon skill.
Class Skills
Berserk - Fixed an issue causing Berserk to apply its bonus damage twice.
Hemorrhage Talent tree
Bleed damage reduced from
40%-> 35% and duration from9s-> 8s.Master-at-arms - Critical damage from attacks reduced from

2/4%-> 1/2%Red Tempo - On trigger, reduces the cooldown of all your weapon skills by

Bloodfeast - Heal granted by Hemorrhage reduced from
30/60%-> 7/15%.
Rogue
While we are satisfied with the rogue class itself, the talent tree was a bit weak, and it didn't quite feel like we were true masters of poison. It has been revised accordingly.
Class Skills
Death Mark - Death Mark now correctly also increases Magic damage.
Combo Ruler (Finisher Rune) - Fixed an issue resetting the Rune upon death.
