Physical Skills damage formula have been reworked
Before:
- Skills had a fixed Critical Rate, usually 15%-20%
- When the critical happens, the damage was multiplied by 2.
Now:
- Your critical rate will determine each skill's critical chance (if the skill can deal critical damage - some cannot)
- When the critical happens, the damage will be multiplied by your critical power.
Blow Skills damage formula have been reworked
Before:
- Your Blow rate determines if you'll do damage or not
- The Blow is always a critical and the damage is multiplied by your critical power. On top of that, the Blow can its own critical damage, multipling the damage by 2 (this is when those 8k damage happens)
Now:
- Your Blow rate determines if you'll do damage or not
- The Blow is always a critical and the damage is multiplied by your critical power. No more "second critical"
- Your critical rate will determine how much of your critical power you'll be using. For example, if you have 500 critical rate, you'll be using from 50% to 100% your critical power.
- The new formule allows to bigger damages to compensate the lack of the "second critical" and the critical rate influence.
* Physical Skills will continue to ignore Critical Damage evasion, Critical Damage vulnerability and Reflect, as it was before.
* Charge Skills (Duelist and GK) will also follow the new formula, but with some adjustments so they don't become too overpower.
* The information above is simplified, more than it was mentioned was modified to ensure nothing becomes too weak or overpower.
Vorpal Sets have been reworked.
Their P. Def. will be equal to the Elegia and the new bonuses will be as follows:

New Skills Formula Comments:
In a Full-buffs environment skills are always one step below in terms of damage. In fact, they don't deal even half of an ordinary critical hit (even when they do critical). The only benefit of using skills is to avoid Evasion and Reflect Damage, but still, we think they are too weak. We think the correct thing is that they always do at least a little more damage than a normal hit.
The new formula will make it possible for skills to always deal equivalent or greater damage than a common critical hit.
We believe this change will improve class balance, making Fighter classes more viable for example.
The formula changes are only aimed at improving common physical skills, not Blows and Charge skills, although they may suffer different molds from now on as well, as they will be affected by Critical Rate and Power.
