00:00 - 00:05Recently, we heard a lot of complaints about the Valkyrie class.
00:05 - 00:07Players are desperately pleading for buffs,
00:07 - 00:10saying that the class is severely underpowered.
00:11 - 00:16The GMs promised to convey their suggestions and grievances to us.
00:17 - 00:21So we buffed Glaring Slash and Divine Power.
00:21 - 00:24"Buffs"
00:29 - 00:31For real
00:31 - 00:34They really thought we would buff Valks
00:38 - 00:40What idiots!
00:41 - 00:47They wanted frontal guard on Death Line Chase
00:47 - 00:50and superarmor on Purifying Lancia.
00:50 - 00:56That's some pretty wishful thinking.
00:58 - 00:59They were actually serious!
00:59 - 01:01May Elion bless their souls.
01:04 - 01:06To add insult to injury,
01:06 - 01:08we added frontal guard to Shining Dash,
01:13 - 01:14a skill they never use!
01:14 - 01:16Better than nothing, right?
01:16 - 01:20They could just reroll warrior,
01:21 - 01:27which is what they should have done in the first place.
01:35 - 01:36But they won't because of waifus
01:36 - 01:39and boob physics. It's always the tits.
01:41 - 01:44Okay, back on topic.
01:44 - 01:47We take game balance very seriously.
01:47 - 01:49That we do.
01:50 - 01:53Just look at AP/DP scaling!
01:54 - 01:56The definition of balance.
01:56 - 01:58You can go full DP
01:58 - 02:02and still get rekt by some 170 AP warrior.
02:05 - 02:07Valks can tank
02:10 - 02:11Tank the floor that is.
02:11 - 02:13That's still a role!
02:15 - 02:17We sleep well at night,
02:17 - 02:20knowing we try our hardest to balance the game.
02:21 - 02:28For example, we recently reduced the WP cost of SoJ.
02:29 - 02:30The WP cost?
02:30 - 02:32Yes indeed!
02:36 - 02:39It was clear that lack of WP was Valk's biggest issue.
02:40 - 02:42No Herbal Potions from vendor, remember?
02:50 - 02:55Therefore we wanted to make Valk's life easier.
02:56 - 02:58Do Valks really use that much WP?
02:58 - 03:04No, but we just wanted to include Valk
03:04 - 03:09in the patch notes from time to time.
03:09 - 03:11So people think we didn't forget about them.
03:16 - 03:20The goal is to get their hopes up first.
03:23 - 03:26Retards will believe anything.
03:31 - 03:36We're planning buffs to Severing Light next patch.
