Dev Commentary: Upcoming Updates

[h3]Class Balance Updates[/h3]

• Coming to the August 5 (Fri) update in Black Desert Global Lab.
  
• We’ll start with adjustments to overly powerful PvP classes, then focus on updates to classes that are overwhelmingly efficient in PvE and those that show low efficiency in PvE.
  
• Our goal is to reduce the gaps and variances between classes.
  
• After that, we will be taking additional feedback and then making more fine-tuned adjustments.
