Can't wait to see by how much.

Another upgrade for the RG class?
So, the only small aspect where the RK class was actually a tiny bit better than the RG class, the slightly higher hp than RGs, gets reduced or even removed?

So, gravity thinks RGs aren't strong enough it seems. Hurray for balance :|

Nice boat effects!!

Just 60% of area Reflect? Why So Little?

Although it makes sense having more HP on an RG than a RK.

Patience. I hope they will eventually fix everything to be well balanced.

0_0 holy crap i thoght there was another recheck to skills in sakRE no implemetations to mains XD...well hopefully this will end in a rk rebalance (?)

Why do you think that?
The knight branch always had more hp than the sader branch.

I seriously hope you're right that in the future they'll give RKs another upgrade.

You don't understand. It still reflects 40%. Last patch, the maximum damage you could reflect was equal to your max HP. Now the maximum you can reflect is equal to your max HP times 1.5.

And its nice that force of vanguard got buffed... the skill was useless before.

Ah, so that's what the patch was about. Force of Vanguard being useful feels good.

No Sakray patch makes me :| though.

This is not just Rune knight, i think, they should review the other 3.1. one time more.

But if you look closely, it seems gravity really enjoy the Royal Guard:
-Look their sprite, look their mount, compare it to the RK, LoL

@Doddler did you solve your problem with ragnagate, can you post there?

Well this means the end I guess, it is in the officials now so we can officially say RKs got downgraded to pre-casters, waiting to see future woe videos now...

And lol @more buffs for RG... as if 40% more hp from Inspiration were not enough...

- The maximum damage that can be reflected with the Royal Guard skill "Reflect Damage" now increases with your base level to a maximum of 1.5 times.

Very cool, i think that this is a very important change.

- Shortcuts can be removed from the shortcut bar by dragging them off the window.

Yeaah !! i liked it ;DD !

wow this just irks me, gravity spends so much time making a class skills "usefull" while leaves the rest of other classes with such useless skills. /pif

expecting RK upgrade but WTH...another RG upgrade
RK has lots of useless skill, they should know that

Rogue has skills that don't even work... they should know THAT, especially since they're prereq for 3rd cls skills.

Gravity seems like they don't have a plan.
They balance something a bit, then go and nerf the 2nd most OP class, after that go and balance another class for several weeks LOL

All this balancing seems really slow... I mean, months pass and it looks more and more like a mess D:

I'm hoping everything will work out, though. A lot of the OP of suras is due to RB, though, right? And Cursed Circle. (lulz lulz lulz.)

I'm willing to have a bit more patience, though - yeah - I would LIKE to see chasers (and actually rogues) fixed. (Then again, how useless was Hilt Binding for how long?)

sura is still skating under the radar...

...Another RG tweak? At this rate, it may as well be mandatory to go back and touch up 3-1... I'm even more shocked that the current stuff is now on officials. Seriously hoping RK, WL, and Mechanic's Mado issue get looked at again...
