kRO Sakray has released a big patch this week regarding skill balancing for third jobs. The skill balancing includes most of the job classes that haven't received any updates since the start of renewal in Sakray. The information are taken from the kRO patchnotes for this week. The one posted on my site is the translated skill balance from iRO wiki.
I believe that I'm obliged to present to you this changes because it will affect our current and future builds. I have no idea when will this huge patch reach our official servers but definitely it reach us anytime soon. We definitely need this balances as soon as possible.
I'm hoping that this balances will bring light on using third jobs for the RWC 2011 matches. But we don't know what Gravity plans for the most anticipated Ragnarok World Championship. Lets just wait and see. Read the rest of the post after the break.

Hi, just wanna say that your Blog its owesome. You give a lot more info than the official site and explain well using screen shots. You help me a lot. ^^
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work and hope to see in ro world.
I'm playing kRO...
ReplyDeleteand Royal Guard...
Fuck!! RD patch make me despair...
@Soo
ReplyDeleteI also main Royal Guards. but I also have rants about RD. On an alliance versus alliance perspective RD is so overpowered skill. 5 RG who just walks into the opposing guild can wipe as many opponents as possible.
I have a big request if you may. Can you give us a glimpse on the change on Exceed Break, Pin Point Attack and Inspiration. Are they nerfed horribly? Because from iROwiki they said Overbrand has decreased in attack power.
sir pede mag tanong ano formula ng pinpoint attack?? thx XD
ReplyDeletehindi ko po alam
ReplyDeleteyung Deep Sleep Lullaby po still affects party members? :D thanks po :D
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know yes affected pa din ang mga allies sa AOE ng Deep Sleep Lullaby. pero lets see pa din kung ano talaga yung mapupunta sa mga servers.
ReplyDeleteThanks, this was mostly the information I was looking for! Very detailed! <3
ReplyDeletei hope u show us how damage formula changed..
ReplyDeleteit is damage become higher or lower...
I'm sorry but that's everything I got based from the patch notes posted in kRO. Everything written here is from the translated kRO patch from Doddler.
ReplyDeleteIt's not yet implemented. It will be the next patch to be release in pRO.
ReplyDeleteRoyal Guard
ReplyDeleteReflect Damage

by Chance na lang ang Reflect damage?

ReplyDeletetoo bad for rangers. no updates. T_T
ReplyDeletegrabe nmn kinawawa ung summon skills ng sorc O.O d man lng binawasan ung range ng mandragora ng genetic O.O sana inaus nila ung mandragora, okaya sana na cu-cure na xa ng any herbs or potion O.O or stat rec or anything
ReplyDeleteD ko sure yung chance ng reflect damage.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes limited na lang sya sa 30 reflects tapos need mo irecast ulit.
And additional change Melee attacks na lang ang pedeng ma reflect damage
Overbrand SP cost lang ang change
Rangers update meron din. d ko lang nailagay.
Example is Fire Trap magiging fire property na sya instead of neutral.
Howling of Mandragora nerfed na po sa balancing.
Lumiit yung AoE nya tapos nareresist na sya heavily by stats.
Nacucure na din sya ng isa sa Lauda skills ng AB.
Lam ko natatangal na din sya ng Refresh rune yata yun basta yung immunity rune.
Tapos ndi na tinatablan ang mga naka Inspiration na RG.
sure balancing na din SP time after mag EF ?
ReplyDeleteYes lam ko part din yan sa balancing patch.
ReplyDeletehihina ba ef?dko magets ee paexpalin :D
DeleteHindi sya hihina. Same damage output nagkaroon lang ng additional drawback. Bawal na gumamit ng SP pots after mo mag EF for 10secs. yung duration d ko maconfirm kung yan ang exact time.
Deletethanks for the blog paikot ikot din ako sa mga blogs and other sites lalo sa royal guards thanks bro
ReplyDeleteNo worries pedodobear. glad to help.
ReplyDeletelakas din ng RG mo lagi kong na eencounter. =)
Hi..ask ko lng..dba po my latest rebalance rumors..like ung sa Hellplant ng gene na irereduce ang dmg and manhole na 3blocks away sa target..hmmm..wait post q po d2 ung nbasa q..almost d same pero my kulang po ee..wait..
ReplyDeleteAng rebalance ay hindi rumors. Maimplement yan as next episode ng pRO.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about sa Hellplant damage na marereduce.
Yung Manhole lam ko pede pa din icast sa tabi ng target pero bawal na i-manhole yung naka manhole na.
ask ko lng po if magkakameron po ba ng libreng stat reset para sa lahat kahit di na 1st time! ^^
ReplyDeleteafter ng rebalancing patch ba yung tinatanong mo? I'm not sure. wala pong announcement tungkol dyan.
ReplyDeleteah! k po salamat1
Deleteliliit daw po ung hp ng Rune Knight? balak ko pa nmn gumawa ng DB type na rune knight. hihina po ba ang RK sa patch na yan?
ReplyDeleteMatagal na pong implemented yung reduced HP ng RK.
ReplyDeleteKung ang tanong mo ay hihina ang mga DB rune knight.
Hindi po. same lang sya before and after rebalance patch.
sir regarding sa RG, mas ok na ba ang shield reflect lvl10 over damage reflect lvl5 sa rebalancing?
ReplyDeletePersonally, yes mas ok ang shield reflect lvl10.
ReplyDeleteMasyado na kasing situational ang gamit ng Reflect Damage.
At may chance pa to activate.
sir tanung ko lang ung sa Crazy weeds my mag babago po ba? so papanget n po pla ang RG ngyun kasi liit n chance ng reflect.
ReplyDeletesure n po ba na d mag babago ung HP ng rk so desame pdin damge mas ok pag nka TGK? ty po

ReplyDeleteDepends po sa skill build. pag nag build ka kasi mauuna ang skill build bago ang stat build
