KDN February 2018 Skill Balancing (PVE)

[NearLawlet]

Title says it all, here's a compilation of skill balance changes that will soon be implemented in KDN this week. All skills' value are based on their maximum level, and any skill change description that does not feature the previous value is likely to be added as an extra effect (instead of replacing the old one).

[sngweiwei]

That CD on Brave, 60s for ML. Dang. The boost for ML skills should more than make up for it.

I really like what they did to Glads.

[Gedion]

They'll also have Jelly Pouch. Sugoi!

[EventHorizon]

We will get this update 3 to 4 months from now right? Can't wait for my smasher get boosted.

[Gloiii]

is the info incomplete? til ray mech only?

[NearLawlet]

There's actually some PVP balance as well, but most of the changes were following PVE aspect (i.e Gladiator and Moonlord Class Mastery 1)

[IceZhing]

Im looking forward to that Elestra revamp..hope can boost damage a lot for Elestra.

[szcko2]

Hi! Can you please post a source for this. I need to clarify the Brave buff if it's really included in the notes.

[NearLawlet]

I did not bother including the source because it'll take time for a link to be approved. Just google dn pupugame (DN KR website) and look for the latest patch note.

[Knee]

NearLawlet you can edit the link in right after you post it and it won't need approval.

[NearLawlet]

Knee Thanks for the useful bit of advice

[orekun]

Hi hi~
About the Gladiator buff, did they changed LD Ex glitch that make bosses "freeze"? Thank you!~

[NearLawlet]

Unfortunately, there's no info regarding that.

However, Line Drive has been known to cause a slight delay on boss' movement especially when all 4 hits connect properly ever since its first introduction in cap 32. If it's really a glitch, I don't think they consider it important or troubling enough to fix.
