I don't suppose anyone has any details regarding what's to come for the Tune Up Kanna and Hayato revamp?

    Expected it. Honestly, they should have buffed Hayato's chain skills as well.

    Giving a cd to hitokiri is horrible. Wish they didn't. I'll loose a lot of my motivation for 250

    I'm looking forward to seeing how bad things get after these new updates; been pushing to get my Kanna to 220 since I've basically given up on my DA ever getting out of the dumpster. Then there's the supposed drop rate nerf that could happen. Making it really hard for me to justify playing at this rate.

    It is a shame to have the cooldown return to Hitokiri Strike, but honestly, I'm surprised they didn't do it sooner. Losing some dodge chance on Jinsoku is also a bummer.

    Overall though? It's basically just more overall damage and removing less cheapness. The only real perk I saw with no cooldown Hitokiri Strike was the OP constant boss stunning.

    nobody here is talking about KANNA?

    they got a HUGE buff!!!

    i went from having 700k range to 1.1m range

    they said they were gonna buff kanna to make it competetive with other mage classes

    but i think they overdid it xD

    Doesn't surprise me that Kannas still keep that overpowered haku blessing buff, but it's something I guess to their solo damage.

    Was confused about Kanna. I went on mine and saw that haku's blessing still gave % magic attack. Wasn't it supposed to be changed to flat magic attack? Was the change rescinded? What about party members? Do mages still get the buff? Or is it now applied to both physical and magic classes now and they just get the 5% final damage per party member? Does the buff give anything to party members aside from the final damage increase?

    For now, Haku's Blessing is much the same as it was before Tune Up: it's a %m.att buff and it applies to the entire party. I think the 5% fd is for the Kanna only.

    In TMS, it was changed to a flat m.att buff, and they claimed that all the other services will do the same.

    In GMS, the community consensus seems to be that Kanna needs the %m.att Haku's Blessing as a self-buff, but it's quite unbalanced as a party buff. This has been communicated to NexonNA. We'll have to wait and see what they will choose to do.

    I heard Kanna was nerfed in other MS versions with this patch, but not in GMS which got hell buffed o-0
