Upcoming Rebalanced Supports for PVP Supports Season

S0kun

Prior to the start of the next PVP Soul Stone season on Thursday June 27th, a few Supports will be getting the below adjustments that will go live when the season starts.

These Supports are some of the earliest created Supports in MPQ and were created while we were still formulating our Support balance. As a result, some of their pieces don't really measure up to modern design sensibilities.

As well, a lot of early Supports had percentage based proc rates at battle start or low rates during battle. While those can be fun on occasion, it really meant that a lot of players would do things like equip a Support then retreat immediately if they didn't get a battle start proc. That's not a fun piece of gameplay for anyone. So these have been updated so that they're not proc based.
