Class Adjustments

The following class skills have been adjusted as follows:

All Classes

Skill Name Adjustment
Animation Speed The speed calculation formula has been changed.
We have updated our motion speed calculations to fit T5 Dragon Nest (Lv 90+), in doing so some skill may feel slower, and others may feel faster. We will try our best to make sure the differences are barely noticeable, if at all. But do keep in mind we have to check every animation in every class and may miss a few due to human error.

Swordsman

Skill Name Adjustment
Courageous Shout Cooldown has been decreased from 35s -> 30s.
Luring Slice Cooldown has been decreased from 20s -> 15s.

Barbarian

For Squall Spin, it works almost exactly like Gladiator's Feint/Evasion Slash now.
Keep in mind that custom skills are always subject to further changes or improvements.

Duelist

Skill Name Adjustment
Phantasm Blade EX The skill has been removed.
A bug in which using Phantasm Blade EX was discovered in which using it would disable you from attacking mobs for an extended period of time. In order to fix this skill, we would need to spend a heavy amount of time on it that would cut into our dev cycle. Instead Phantasm Blade is now a full iframe, the inputs for the EX have been removed. The final slash has had a small revamp to have more impact and damage.

All Hair Dyes are free, and Functionality items can be purchased with either XC or CC.
