Changes in class balance
In the Lineage 2 Essence Assassin update, there is one clearly stand out class among all. Assassin has a huge damage and mobility, while in his arsenal he has a save skill.
Only the Inquisitor can compete with him. As good as he is, Assassin still outperforms him in both PvE and PvP potential.
On the Expanse server, we want you to be able to play the class you like.
Instead of nerfing popular classes in the current patch, we buffed classes that were strong in previous expansions. At the same time, support was not forgotten either.
Obviously, you can't make all classes equal. Each has its own purpose. Someone is stronger in the early game, someone is revealed with a boost or level, and someone is a dwarf.
The balance of the official servers was taken as the basis, in which we made changes to make the game more comfortable.
The most important changes are published below, with all the changes you can personally see on the OBT.
