based not on class balance but as a pity towards a non-existent player base? That seems counterproductive to what even a semi-decent developer team should aspire to do.
Not that I'm complaining as I enjoy the Teide immensely... just saying.
No, the pity and complaints were because hurk did no dmg.
For example,
At high skill
Lynn > Hurk
At medium skill,
Hurk = Lynn
At bad skill
Hurk > Lynn.
It was neccassary balance.
Talking about Lynn (best girl btw), the possible reason Glaive Lynn isn't buffed is because she has high damage potential.
There was a hot discussion in the Korean forum, where 4 people (all famous for their good skills - possibly best of each class in the server) tested DPS.
Lynn came out first defeating xGun Kai, Chain Vella and Fiona even if she had 1000~2000 lower additional damage. She was first repeatedly throughout S3 Raids. The writer of the post requested Lynn nerf.
The 'problematic' Lynn player is quite famous for analysing and writing Lynn's skillset like it's his PhD work, so probably he just knows Lynn too well.
Lynn players argued that Lynn could do that much damage because that single Lynn player out of this world, while other players (especially fifi players) said if the damage potential is OP, then it should be nerfed.
Honestly, I think it's stupid to nerf a class known for low damage due of hard difficulties, just because of one player. (less)
It's a server thing. EU/NA doesn't have a lot of 'god-tier' players for other classes.
However KR has a lot of good players, and with enough skills, almost every class out dps Hurk.
The DMG tier ranking was something like this in KR:
(God Arishas) -> Cestus Karok -> xGun Kai -> Chain Vella -> Pillar Karok -> Scythe Evie -> etc.
Hurk was one of the lowest class on the list, both Teide and Greatsword, so there were a lot of complaints from Hurk players and a lot of pity from other classes. That's why they decided to buff Hurk. (less)
Uhm... so...
I know I missed out on a lot of stuff while I was gone and I don't plan to dig everything up and translate them.
For the past ones, I will only translate the ones you guys ask … (more)me, and for the future, I'll try to keep translating regularly.
I will be pretty busy from now on, so I don't know how much I can do.
If there's like one RISE update tier patch... well... don't expect to see it done on the day of the patch like RISE...
But regular ones like weekly update or few dev notes will be no problem.
By the way, is there a limit for maximum pages/posts a thread can have in vindictus forum? (less)

Translating skill names are so fun! Especially NA names where they just said "Screw KR, let's make a whole new name for the skill which has completely nothing to do with the original name." What wonderful time I spent trying to match the skill icons on KR Wiki and outdated English Wiki!
Also, I directly translated the names for Teide because the english wiki had no detailed data on them (the wound status effects for example).
