The following updates will be applied at server restart tonight. The server will be down for an extended period to perform routine maintenance. It will be down for approx. 2 hours.

MECHANICS
Primary Stats
Agility
Now provides 0.04 Physical Evasion and Magic Evasion per point instead of 0.06 Physical Evasion per point.


CLASS SKILLS
Skills that regenerate HP by a percentage have been reduced for all classes.

Skills, including Passive skills, that grant Threat/Threat Reduction have been reduced, taking into account that the max you need to remove all threat from your skill damage or heals is -100%.

Passive Skills
Many Passive Skills have been rebalanced using the stat scoring system that is already used for items to ensure each class can obtain the same overall value in stats.

Most reductions were made to the healer passives, with reductions to Range and Heal, with similar reductions to Range for the magic damage classes and gunners.

A portion of the Max HP, MP, HP Recovery, and Defense from some of the 3rd job passives for some classes have been moved to the same passive in the 2nd job.
