Hello, everyone!

It’s been quite a while since Matsui mentioned about revamps to elemental weapon skills and I just wanted to make a follow-up post and mention that the development team is looking into adjustments not only for elemental weapon skills, but weapon skills as a whole.

With a few exceptions, we have been seeing that in high-level battles that there is a trend of only using powerful weapon skills such as those learned through merit points. Due to this we would like to increase the power and stat modifiers for all weapon skills, including relic, mythic, and empyrean, in order to expand the number of choices during battle.

We will be performing the adjustments to elemental weapon skills at the same time as the aforementioned adjustment, and once I have further details to share I will make another follow-up.
(Please also note that these adjustments will not be nerfing any existing weapon skills, so please don’t worry)

Does this mean more monks will use final heaven? I always thought most ppl would use the higher teir weapon skills not because of better damage , but because most were more likely to skill into light/darkness chains as well.. While weapon skills like Sinjin Spiral would be used when you dont want skill chain damage.

Would elemental weapon skills be even more effective against targets that are more weak to magic dmg or specific element damage in current adoulin areas. Not to forget, would this make Scythe weapon skills that don't require "that relic", more usefull for Dark Knights now? Or expand the reason why more Darks use Great Swords over Scythe. On that note would this improve Runefencer's weapon skil damage on Great swords (ar at least more ws acc when compared to dark)?

Gotta bunch of bright bulbs right here...

"Sir, it seems that players favor using powerful weapon skills over less powerful ones."
"Fascinating!"
