We've put a lot of thought into all the feedback we've gotten from Adventurers worldwide. One of the most commonly brought up topics was how slow -- and therefore frustrating -- the class was to play before Succession. In response to this, we've increased the casting speed of his Absolute and Succession skills. The second most common piece of feedback was about Sage's stamina consumption when using the skill, Rift Chain. Rift Chain was originally designed to allow Sage to move without giving his enemies his whereabouts. Furthermore, the skill was meant to be used at its highest level as an invincible dodge move that could be used even while on cooldown. We tried to limit the use of this skill with stamina consumption in light of its remarkable utility. However, many Adventurers felt this to be too limiting for Sage to reach his potential. Thus, we've reduced this skill's cooldown and stamina consumption, and the lower levels of Rift Chain can now be used more often. Also, we fixed a number of bugs and improved Sage's combo capabilities. We hope that you will continue to show your passion for Sage, and we invite you to continue to give us your feedback. Item
