🗡️🕵️‍♂️🧘 Patch V1.2.1 – Assassin, Rogue & Monk Updates

Focus: Combo Point Scaling, Skill Tree Simplification, and Copy Logic Fixes


🗡️ Assassin / Rogue – Combo Scaling & Defensive Upgrades

This patch improves the combo point damage reduction, buffs copied skill logic, and simplifies tree progression for all Thief-based classes.


🎯 Combo Point Damage Reduction (PvM)

  • Each Combo Point now grants:

    • +4% Damage Reduction vs mobs (was 2%)

    • +9% if dual wielding or using Katars or Daggers (was 7%)

  • Max 5 stacks, only the highest applicable bonus takes effect

Assassins and Rogues now have meaningful defensive scaling when maintaining full combo chains.


💀 Corrosion & Blade Fury Buff Scaling

When consuming 5 Combo Points:

  • Corrosion (triggered by Dual Daggers)

  • Blade Fury (triggered by Dual 1-Hand Swords)

➡️ Both buffs now grant: +55% Damage Reduction vs mobs (was 45%)

Only the highest applicable damage reduction will apply at any given time.

These buffs allow Rogues and Assassins to take on group PvM content with better sustain options when rotating properly.


☄️ Throw Stone / Sprinkle Sand
