The Dimensional Update launches on February 3 at 10:00 AM PST (1:00 PM EST, 18:00 UTC)! Players will need to download a client patch for this update, which will be available once maintenance begins!

The full release notes for this update can be found below:

New Features

Blessing / Skill Changes

Included is some developer commentary on why they made these adjustments.

Crusader

Skills

The 'Charge-type' has been deleted from the skill types. Dauntless Charge and Daring Assault are now classified as Strike-type skills.

Gift of Valor

"Due to the deletion of the charge-type, effects related to the charge-type have been changed to the strike-type."

• Brave Assault: Changed so that the effect that reduces the cooldown of charge-type skills now reduces the cooldown of strike-type skills
• The Eternal Warrior: Changed so that the effect that increases the damage of charge-type skills now increase the damage of strike-type skills

Mark of the Wolf

"It was easy to inflict Bleeding, but the damage was weak. Excess Bleeding was extremely weak compared to the amount of preparation required.  Even if Excess Bleeding was applied, it was difficult to maintain, therefore it was an effect that didn’t really matter much. Hence the damage of Excess Bleeding has been increased to the extent where it will make an impact, and the core mechanism of Bleeding and Excess Bleeding was changed so that maintaining the effect longer maintains greater damage."

• Fang of the Wolf: Increase the damage of Bleeding by twice the amount.
• Howl of the Wolf: The duration of Bleeding and Excess Bleeding is extended when Shout-type skills are used.
• Razor Claw: Increase the damage of Excess Bleeding by 6.5 times the amount.

Lionheart

"It was difficult to inflict sufficient damage due to the low damage of shout-type skills and the Warcry > Great Sweeping Slash > Spinning Slash combo, which can be viewed as a core mechanism. Therefore improvements were made to increase the damage so it can become a meaningful selection."

• Roar of the Lion: Increase the damage of shout-type skills from 160-320% of Attack Power to 224-448% of Attack Power.
• Shout: Changed so that the damage of the Roar>Great Sweeping Slash>Spinning Slash combo is increased by 24-144% instead of 20-120% when the shout-type effect is applied.

Berserker

Combos

Changed the last attack of the Balanced Strike Combo from Tornado (slash-type) to Carnage (shock-type).

Skills

• Blood Leech: Added an effect that increases the amount healed when skill is progressed. Now levels 1-4 heal 0.5%, level 5-9 heal 1%, and level 10 heals 1.5%. However the effect that heals more than expected when a Critical Hit is made during Blood Leech, has been modified to only heal twice the basic amount healed.
• Extinction: Modified the values of damage dispersion applied when attacking multiple enemies so that a bit more AoE damage can be inflicted.
• Overpower: Modified the values of damage dispersion applied when attacking multiple enemies so that a bit more AoE damage can be inflicted..

Lionheart

"Beast Lord's Attack, Beast Lord's Advance and Consecutive Strike are powerful when stacked. But, the amount of time for stacking is so short that it is difficult to learn unless the Blessing is progressed. The basic mechanism requiring repetitive use of shock-type and slash-type skills remains the same, but the effects duration was increased to make maintaining the stacks easier even if the player is in a situation where they cannot attack. The max stack of Beast Lord's Attack, and Beast Lord's Advance effect were reduced so they can be stacked even faster. The Balanced Strike Combo’s changes can also be easily stacked, so it should be helpful."

• Beast Lord's Attack: Slightly increased the duration of Attack Warning in lower levels from 3-15 sec to 4-15 sec. Increased the duration of Beast Lord's Attack effect from 4.5-14 sec to 8-24 sec. Changed the max stack of the Beast Lord's Attack effect from 5 to 4, and the Critical Hit rate increase per stack from 20% to 25%.
• Beast Lord's Advance: Slightly increased the duration of Advance Warning in lower levels from 3-15 sec to 4-15 sec. Increased the duration of Beast Lord's Advance from 4.5-14 sec to 8-24 sec. Changed the max stack of the Beast Lord's Advance effect from 5 to 4, and the Attack Speed increase per stack from 2% to 2.5%.
• Consecutive Strike: Increase the duration of Consecutive Strike effect from 3-12.5 sec to 7-20 sec.

Crescent Moon

"There are a variety of risks involved when using Extinction, but the damage is disappointing. It was changed so that equipping The Crescent Moon will not only reduce the risks of Extinction, but it will also be used with other shout-type skills so that it will become a Blessing suitable for facing multiple enemies with AoE attacks."

• Raging Hunger: Reduced the cooldown and HP reduction of Rage: Extinction by 25-85%, and charge time by 50%. If Rage: Extinction successfully hits at full charge, it will increase the Berserker’s Attack Speed by 15%, and Attack Power by 50-150% for 15 sec.
• Suppress Pain: Overpower stacks up to 2 times. If Overpower is used to attack enemies when Raging Hunger and Blood Leech are applied, the effects of Raging Hunger and Blood Leech are increased by 0.7-4 sec per target hit. This effect is applied up to a max of 3-5 targets at once.
• Overcome Pain: There is a 27.5-100% chance of reducing the cooldown of shout-type skills if attacking an enemy while Blood Leech is applied. In addition, if fully charged Rage: Extinction hits an enemy with Movement Speed reduction applied, the enemy will be stunned for 2-3 sec.
• Imposing: Increases the damage of shout-type skills by 20-100%, and Defense by 225-5000.

Ranger

Gift of Valor

"Although Tempest Shot is a core skill it did not inflict enough damage, and the process of stacking Flashing was boring. Changes were made to increase the damage of Tempest Shot so that it can be an established core skill. A method to quickly stack Flashing was also added to allow Tempest Shot be used comfortably."

• Ramming Arrow: Changed so that the damage of Tempest Shot is increased by 37.5-350% instead of 15-140%.
• Sharpshooter: Added an effect where Flashing is immediately stacked by 8 when Bottomless Quiver is used.
• Neural Stimulation: Changed the requirements of reducing the cooldown of Tempest Shot from when the combo hits, to when rush-type and double shot-type combos and skills hit.

Mark of the Wolf

"Due to the special arrows mechanism there is a lot of freedom in terms of skill composition compared with other Blessings. However the overall damage was also lower because it did not clearly strengthen a specific skill. This is why improvements were made so that a more powerful performance can be reached if there are special arrows."

• Fully Prepared: Changed so that the amount of Attack Power is increased by 17.25-69% instead of 15-60% when one has special arrows.

Lionheart

"This is a Blessing that weakens the enemy to obtain damage instead of making the user more powerful. Until now, it only weakened the enemy enough to obtain damage similar to the degree of other Blessings. Enhanced the Scarred effect to inflict even more damage on the enemy."

• Threat of the Beast: Changed so that the amount of damage received is increased by 4.59 ~ 10.48% instead of 3.5 ~ 8% per Scarred stack.

Mage

Gift of Valor

"After it has been progressed, players can effectively stack the Frozen Solid effect with Blizzard. However since this Blessing is obtained early on, the effects are centered around Frost Spike and Frost Nova, making it difficult to actively use Blizzard. It has now been modified so that the charge effect is applied to all frost-type skills. A mechanism that allows for more frequent usage of arcane-type skills so that Ice Breaking can be used more often."

• Frost Circulation: Changed so that the effect that only stacked Frost Spike, now stacks all frost skills. In addition, the effect that immediately charged Frost Spike when Frost Nova hits has been removed. In return an effect that reduces the cooldown of arcane-type skills at a chance when frost-type skills are used to attack enemies was added. 

Lionheart

"We think that mechanisms surrounding Flame-type skills are not bad. However we are not satisfied with the damage. The damage increased by Chain Explosion and Madness of Fire were strengthened so that they become more meaningful choices."

• Chain Explosion: Changed the damage increase of Chain Explosion and Meteor from 20-100% to 28-138% from. 
• Madness of Fire: Changed the damage increase of meteors from 20-100% from 28-138%.

Crescent Moon

"It is difficult to compile only skills of one type due to this Blessing’s characteristic of using both arcane and flame-type skills. This means that even if the Detection effect lasts a long time, if a skill from one type is used, the Detection effect becomes meaningless until the cooldown returns. It has been modified so that the enhanced skills of the type can be used more frequently while Detection is applied."

• Elemental Detection: Increased the damage of Flame Detection and Arcane Detection from 100-300% to 108-324%. Added an effect that reduces the cooldown of skills of the same type by 50% while the Detection effect is active.

Priest

Skills

Blades of Justice: This skill is now classified as both holy bolt-type and smite-type.

Healing Sphere: Balance adjustment -

• The HP recovery effect has been increased slightly.
• Continuous healing effect: Inner Light effect is removed.
• The level 5 skill's continuous healing effect, 'Holy Healing', lasts 10 seconds.
• When the skill is upgraded to Lv.10 and 15, the 'Holy Healing' effect is strengthened.

Gift of Valor

"It was somewhat insufficient by only increasing the Critical Hit Rate. Added effect that also increases Critical Hit Damage to Trance so that when a Critical Hit is made it deals more damage. Additionally classifying Blades of Justice as smite-type helps increase damage."

• Trance: Changed so that Critical Hit Rate increases by 4% instead of 3.5%, and Critical Hit Damage by 15% per stack.

Lionheart

"The simple mechanism of activating Judgment then only attacking was to a point intended. However damage was weak and it became a Blessing that was only easy because there was no effect that increased damage. Damage was increased while the existing mechanism was maintained so that players can be faster and aggressive when playing in a party."

• Fervor: Increased the changes of applying the Fervor effect from 10-30% to 30-75%. Increased Movement Speed increase per Fervor effect stack from 1% to 2.5%. Added an effect where if the Fervor effect is applied again when the Fervor effect is stacked to the max, the cooldown of smite-type skills is reduced by 1 sec.
• Executioner: Changed the effect that reduced the cooldown of smite-type skills to one that increases the damage of smite-type skills by 20-100%

Battlefield / Arena Changes

The PvP season 'Rising Dawn' has begun. During this season, players can take part in Battlefield and Arena challenges. These challenges consist of four stages of twelve missions each. Each stage must be completed in order. Rewards are given for clearing each mission, as well as completing a stage. Additionally, players can complete weekly missions in the Battlefield or Arena. These missions reset every Monday.

Battlefield/Arena ranks will be reset once the season is over.

When entering the Arena, players will have their HP, Attack Power, and Defense adjusted, regardless of their base stats or level. However, additional stats from equipment will still be added after this adjustment.
