Introduction to Skill Balance
Before getting into details it's essential to understand the fact that in Gaia, with the New Job System + European chars being available, we specifically focused on bringing in enough DMG and range skills for each and every build so that all kind of characters can get jobkills (to earn gold). Therefore Chinese characters that deal low DMG got extra boost + range skills (Godsend Skills) and certain EU buffs got either restriction in Jobmode or nerf.
In Gaia, especially in Job Mode you'll see that warrior and bard buffs got ''range nerf'' and bless will have a high cooldown in order to not loop bless in part 24/7. Remember... new job system is all about actively playing and hunting the opponents and all the edits applied are to balance job system in a way that everyone can compete and earn gold.
Lastly, this skill balance is not final and we will certainly do more tweaks on the first server update after spectating how hundreds of people with different builds act and will buff/nerf necessary builds. Even though, current skill balance should do very good for each build, in reality it may differ here and there. So after playing new job system in the first week if you'd have an idea that your build is not good enough, you'll probably get the good news on the first server update. It's our top priority to make every single build fun and playable and we'll continue to improve skill balance for you to enjoy your favorite build at max. Yet, it's also another important point to digest that each build has their benefits in different areas, such as wizard hunting all uniques but they're weak in Survival. Sword Shield being a very good Survival Arena build, yet it's not the best build against buffed EU party and so on.
Before you start to build your character in Gaia, you definitely want to look at the pros and cons of your desired build HERE.
On Level 101, you can start to unlock Godsend Buffs. Godsend Attack Skills can be unlocked only at 110 Level.
