With January, we have made some significant adjustments to the core combat formulas. As there have been a lot of changes lately, we have been letting the dust settle and evaluating the impacts. This coming month there are a few bug and skill interaction clean-ups already queued. The longer term internal skill changes will also still be going on behind the scenes.
