Skill and Mechanic Changes

Classes

Some classes skills have been changed here on LeikaRO. All buffs, nerfs, and changes will be listed underneath. Fixes will not be listed. If no change is listed then the skill should be assumed to be working as intended. Inquire and give your suggestions about changes on the forum and IRC.

All

• Variable cast times of most first and second job skills were drastically reduced and fixed cast time portions either removed entirely or greatly reduced to represent their usage pre-Renewal. This does not include signature powerhouse skills like Acid Demonstration or Asura Strike and certain combat support skills.

Rune Knight

• Wind Cutter had its area slightly increased.

Warlock

• Summon Sphere - Release had its damage increased, scaling with base and job levels.

Ranger

• All Hunter and Ranger traps have had their HP increased by 400%.
