Balance changes
The biggest goal of this balance patch is widening your party options.
Until now, five damage dealers was practically the right answer for every piece of content, and adding a tank or healer often left you worse off. With this patch, we have adjusted things so that a party with a tank and healer can get results similar to or better than five damage dealers.
Each setup shines in different places, such as 3 damage dealers + 1 tank + 1 healer, 4 damage dealers + 1 tank, or 5 damage dealers, so try to find the party that fits the situation.
Most of the class numbers below are also adjusted to fit this goal.
We validated every party currently on dispatch against these numbers, and most parties will stay at about the same floor as now. Parties with a tank or healer gain power and may climb further on some floors. Some parties may drop slightly.
The game is still early in its release and parts of its design still need polish, so there may be adjustments that change numbers a lot, as in this patch. We apologize for the effect on the parties you have raised. We are working to keep such large adjustments to a minimum, and they will gradually decrease as the game settles. We will avoid sudden large nerfs like the last time, and when one is truly necessary, we will explain the reason well in advance.
We thought the last patch may have left you feeling deprived, so as an apology we are sending you 3 Trait Reroll Tickets by mail (can be claimed for one week).
