In this Lost Ark balance patch, we have prioritized some of the classes that we think need to be changed and focus on improvement. In accordance with the change in the battle environment, the overall aspects such as class characteristics, combat operation, and visuals were reviewed. We tried adjusting various parts such as identity, job engraving, skill, tripod, etc. Other than that, balance adjustments were made for classes that showed excessive performance or had poor performance. For the new class, Meteorologist, some adjustments and improvements are currently in progress. Due to the nature of the new class, it is necessary to observe a little more until the setting is prepared to some extent and the skill level rises. Some classes got nerfs, some got big buffs, some got specific reworks and adjustments, some got balanced and some didn't have any changes. Overall a very good patch that brings balance to the game without making any class weak or strong.
