Eh. These rules will be essential, plus I do agree with us needing also Dev's intent behind this update. What he wants to offer, and what he expects out of us when he finishes wiping the sweat off his forehead once all's done and through.

Because it's as I've said several times now. The game in its current state is not very mechanically balanced, PvP being a main attraction or PvE being a challenge where you won't have your OP gear won't be that much appealing if enemies can casually hit you with everything they launch your way. It will streamline us anyway, make us gravitate to what currently works, not what we think it can work, or funny gimmicks.

What I want to see gone from my Korvara are people who, when thinking about making a character for it, they go "I wanna have this cool fist fighter who's an all rounder", not the usual SL2 train of thought "What can I do to not be completely made a laughing stock to my enemy and not fold to Hexer's afflictions, multiple Youkai or Engineer Bots having 999 turns of advantage over me, or Narcus returning most of my damage back, or how to crawl through a Black Knight with Bellplate + Fang-Faced Shield Mirrored without losing 600 of my HP for just attacking them, or get 1-shot by Evokers, Void Assassins, Rune Magicians."

Which yeah, it's pretty sad. We really need a big balance patch, to make what's currently weak and unusable a little more usable, and pelt down what is at the moment too good to let people ignore over going for something more thematic. For people to build a character based on their IC, not build a character around their mechanical superiority.

Nothing stops someone from being a Glykin Summoner/Priest, for example, if they say "it's my IC lol" even though the class combination plays in the farthest spectrum of Shounen and anime-looking. (Really, it's dull and boring, but it outperforms a Kensei's swish-swooshes by a mile!)

Nothing but these two classes getting tuned down, and other alternative options bumped up.

Or hell, even counters to those strong gimmicks in the form of new abilities for other classes! Bring back our rock paper scissors, and remove 'bazooka' from the equation.

That, and boy oh boy. I'm not even adding Evade's current situation in the list of concerns...
