For those who may be wondering... Rather than the 60% added damage to skills that we used to have, Nexon changed the skill to give +160% damage to skills. So, for instance, Barrage, which has a base damage of 230% used to deal 290%. Now, after the formula was changed, it now deals 390%. Dragon Strike now deals 970%, etc. etc. Of course, this only happens when attacking STUNNED monsters, so it's not really anything USEFUL to us. :S Let's just hope Nexon gives us some sort of boost at bosses during the next wave of Adventurer balancing they promised.

[quote] ShiKage08 : It's more or less part of the balance patch, but it was NEVER mentioned. However, GMS also got this critical formula change with the v84 update, but they didn't get the Adventurer Re-Balance patch. JapanMS got it WITH the Balance Patch on the 31st. But everyone has noticed a huge change in their damage, so we had to redo the math for the formula change. It wasn't a big change mathematically, but it does give a nice boost for Viper training. [/quote] The fact that this can be observed in GMS seems to indicate that it is NOT part of the balance patch. Though after seeing your range + max hit observed, comparing to my range + max hit observed, either this change happens in both our versions simultaneously or the change doesn't exist at all.
