kRO Sakray's Renewal Skill Balance - Part 2

kRO Sakray has released another big patch this week regarding skill balancing for third jobs. The skill balancing includes major balancing on some classes and minor changes on some. The information was taken from the kRO patchnotes for this week. The one posted on my site is the translated skill balance from iRO wiki.

This will be the second big balancing patch applied on kRO Sakray. Ranger and Mechanics has received a major update on this patch most of which are buff on their class.

I really hope that the balancing patches will come steadily. I also hope that it will reach our main servers soon so that we will have a more balance environment. At this point everyone is already adopting to the current specifics of renewal. This changes surely affect everyone. For the first major skill balance you can read it on kRO Sakray's Renewal Skill Balance. Read the second major skill balance after the break.
