A "short" explanation why and how certain classes were "pushed" or "nerfed":

During the last few days more and more tests with the different classes have been done on the test-server.
Because of the new content patches (Z Cards, Lv.13 Diamonds, etc.) the balance had to be adjusted a little bit.
The difficulty was to balance Black & Soulreaver equipment in a similar way and at the same time not to take away the advantages each class has.

Therefore, all classes were tested with the following equipment:

Black Shiny Equipment (1on1 Equipment)

All Soulreaver Weapons and Equipment were tested with +5.

Soulreaver Equipment (1on1 Equipment)

So the tests took place in player similar conditions/environment.

This means in the following:
Standard Power Ups, a full party, Couple Level 21, Kebaria furniture, Anarchy Buffs, and a level 60 guild + guild furniture were used.

The characters also had full Ultimate or Omega equipment & the most suitable Aura jewelry set & a Blessed PVE Monster Key.

The tests resulted in the Buffs/Nerfs that were mentioned at the beginning.

Why were the decisions made this way?

Seraph:
The Seraph did not live up to its role as an all-around performer. Therefore the AOE was nerfed and the 1o1 damage was increased. As a result, he now has the possibility to still function well as an AOE class but is also good as a 1o1 class.In addition, he still has the ability to be used as a tank class in early/mid game, which is good with his own heal.

Arcanist:
For the Arcanist the challenge was to make the class a bit more attractive again. This has now also been achieved by the Seraph's nerf and his own slight buff. The difference between the two classes is that the Seraph can be used in multiple ways, but the Arcanist only works well as an AOE class. In the past, this led to the Arcanist being played rather rarely, as the Seraph simply offered more advantages. This has now been changed so that the Arcanist can once again fully play its strength as an AOE class.

Mentalist:
Not much needs to be said about the mentalist. The class is well balanced in 1o1, only the AOE range has been slightly increased.

Slayer:
The Slayer had since it´s buff with the attack speed, always the reputation to be the best 1o1 class. However, he had become more and more distant from the other classes over time. Therefore he was now slightly nerfed, but this does not hurt him much and he still remains as one of the best 1o1 class on the server. However, it still has its class specific disadvantages such as its low HP.

Crackshooter:
The Crackshooter acts like the Slayer as a good 1o1 class and placed 2nd in the tests. Nevertheless, it was also slightly nerfed to bring it closer to similar/comparable classes. In contrast to the Slayer, he still has slight HP advantage.

Forcemaster:
The Forcemaster was hardly represented as a 1o1 class before the Nerfs/Buffs. This was also because he had difficulties to compete vs other classes regarding the 1o1 damage. Therefore he was buffed and is now on a similar level as the Crackshooter.

Templar:
The Templar has always had a very decisive advantage over the other classes. He possessed Clearly more HP which of course corresponds to his class. Therefore the 1o1 Damage was reduced, which does not worsen its strength (good HP & nevertheless solid damage).

Harlequin (The Class which was the most difficult to balance)
The Harle was in the tests several times with Black Equipment very far down, but with Soulreaver Equipment much more often represented on the placements 2-4. Due to the problems with the Black Equipment he was slightly buffed, but we also paid attention that he does not do too much damage with the Soulreaver Equipment. He can be placed under the Crackshooter/Forcemaster area, which is due to his higher HP rate. He is pretty much the center between Slayer (high DPS or much damage) & the Templar (less DPS but more HP).

There are no changes in the PvP area yet.
The test phase for the PvP balance will still take some time.

Due to the changes of some classes in the PvE-Area, the classes were set to the old state via a map buff, which is active in the Guild Siege Arena, Rumble Arena and PvP Arena.
