A new update is here, closing out Spring Season, adding class balances, and bringing more to Black Desert Console!
Read on to see all the latest changes to Black Desert Console.
New Additions & Improvements
All Classes
- Fixed the issue where you could not combo into Flow: Rushing Wind with R2/RT after Guardian Wind.
- Changed so that Wind Step, which was triggered after using the existing Guardian Wind, will activate with R2/RT when ↓ + R2/RT is input or Flow: Rushing Wind is on cooldown.
- Fixed the issue where the attack speed increase effect did not apply when comboing with attack 2 of Crosscut after Searing Slam.
- Improved so that you can now lock the skill.
- Changed so that after using Flow: Frostflower and Ice Fang, you must press □/X again to activate Oppression.
We have also significantly increased the damage of the summoned Tett/Gorr and Arne/Marg, thereby boosting the overall damage dealing capabilities of the Awakening Witches and Wizards. This improvement aims to create a stronger sense of unity and cooperation among them.
Additionally, with today's patch, the Witch and Wizard have been imbued with new powers. These classes originally possessed potent abilities that aided in the regeneration of allies' health and allowed them to withstand immediate damage. While these abilities remain effective now, gameplay has evolved over time and it has been determined that they are somewhat lacking. In order to address this, a new skill, Archwizardry: Mass Teleport, has been introduced that allows Witches and Wizards to teleport themselves nearby allies forward.
Archwizardry: Mass Teleport is a forward movement skill similar to the original Teleport. However, it allows you to bring along up to four nearby allies (party/platoon members). This means it can be used as a surprise tactic when targeting specific objectives or when entering and disrupting certain areas. Conversely, it can also be utilized as an escape method during critical moments, enabling a group escape.
Since their release, the Witch and Wizard have been regarded as reliable and trustworthy allies, instilling a sense of security and confidence among other players. While not a groundbreaking patch, the introduction of this new skill is expected to further elevate their position and strengthen their cooperative dynamics.
