  Doppelganger:
  

  
  
  • 8 Stamina consumption on loading removed.
    
  • Now factors in player damage stat. After all calculations Doppelganger actually doesn't seem very strong for a resource intensive skill that requires effort to prepare, meanwhile I can outdamage it with a couple of Smashes.
    
  • Soul count requirement matches number of attacks. Why the hell do I need 8 souls when I only attack with 6 + me at rank 1?
    
  • If the target dies, the clones stop attacking and souls are refunded.
    
  • Stamina consumption is changed to 1% per successful attack.

  Nope. Doppelganger should be left alone.
  
  It's one of the best skills for maintaining momentum and it deals upwards of 20k per use. It's perfectly fine as is and more people should use it.

  I'm not really seeing it. Even with 1k stamina, I only hit 500 non-crits and 1.3k crits, so that's roughly 3.5k non-crit and 9k crits. It doesn't seem to offer a lot when my Smash can do 2/3rds of its power.
  
  The 8 stamina consumption for just loading it is dumb since it directly conflicts with Doppelganger's damage, even by a small amount. Furthermore if the target dies in the middle of the attack, even on the first hit, the rest of the clones become useless.

  When you start running around with 3k+ stamina, you'll start seeing those numbers. Piercing levels, critical damage from special upgrades, and ammunition bonuses also factor into the damage output.
  
  Smash's damage output is irrelevant. Does Smash's damage make Assault Slash or Charge any less useful? Do you want every skill to turn into Final Hit or Lightning Rod?
  
  Smash can be easily interrupted and it gives the target invulnerability frames. Doppelganger cannot be easily interrupted, it allows you to instantly teleport 1200 distance, it gives you invulnerability frames, it locks the target down, and it ignores the target's protection when calculating your critical hit rate.
  
  A lot of skills are either far too strong or far too weak. Doppelganger is one of the few that manages to strike a good balance between the two.

  I would like to see Shadow Cloak taken apart and built up into three different skills. The first would be Shadow Cloak's speed nerfed hard, but has a constant effect. Long as the user doesn't use another skill or cancel it. Uses a large amount of Stamina and comes with a sore status. Named Nimble Movement.
  
  [S]Charge would need a versatility revamp, but that's a lot of text to write[/S].
  
  Second would be a Sneaking skill that could work in this game. Some of the things causing this skill to be useless is stun pets, and mob formation.

  • Remove the "Full" status on server channels. There's mods that bypass that so it's not like there's a channel overload anyway.
    
  • Bullet Slide now knockbacks enemies with Natural Shield Level 2 and 3. Why does a recoil and push-away have no defense against pinging mobs when all other skillsets do?
    
  • Scathach mobs buffed considerably, or make Tory Ravine even stronger than them. Right now my character considers them "Weakest" even though they're on par with Hard mobs which are neutral or weak.
    
  • Arrow Revolver pages 1-6 drop rate increased. Why was it only increased for 7-10?
    
  • All Fireball, Thunder, Ice Spear, and Arrow Revolver pages now have a chance to drop from basic and higher difficulty Dungeon end chests, and all difficulty Hardmode Dungeons. Hardmode has a higher chance.
    
  • Exploration Pages 1, 2, and 5 seal cost 5 -> 50, and page 3 cost 30 -> 200, totaling to 400 seals. It's way too easy to get 75 seals for all five pages.
    
  • All Exploration Pages now have a chance to drop from all Iria Dungeons, with the Statue, Arrow, and Crystal versions having higher chance.
    
  • Exploration Page 3 has a 50% chance to drop from any glowing stone boss. I'd say 100% but then again hot spring monkeys.
    
  • Shock Pages no longer expire.
    
  • Shock Page drop rate from Shadow Missions and Scathach mobs increased.
    
  • All Shock Pages now have a very low --no higher than their natural locations-- chance of dropping from all Hard and Elite Shadow Mission and Theatre Missions.

  • Journal
    
    
    • Regular/Complete dungeon/mission journal entries no longer count against you if they are impossible to obtain.
      
      
    • Renamed Entries
      
      
      • We Are Family entry (the guild one) renamed We Are United, to avoid confusion with the actual family entry.
        
      
      
    • Changes to how you get journal entries
      
      
      • Big Family entry is now given for just being a part of a Family, not a full family. (Like how the guild one doesn't require a filled up guild.)
        
      • Enchant, Please! entry is now given when you request an Enchant Entrust, in addition to just being requested it of you.
        
      • Elemental Master and Elemental Apprentice titles no longer count as Master Titles.
        
      • Abyss dungeons no longer count for Advanced journal entries or Complete journal entries.
        
      
      
    • Other changes
      
      
      • You no longer lose Journal Entries when you complete a mission/dungeon.
        
        
        • Currently, lets say you have have finished Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced difficulty of Dorren's Request, you have three separate journal entries for Dorren's Request. But if you get the fourth/last entry, you will get the Dorren's Request Complete Journal entry and lose the original four in the process, making it impossible to ever get anywhere near 100% journal completion, even in just the Combat tab.
          
        
        
      • Paladin, Dark Knight, and both Beast Journal entries get merged into 1 r1 Transformation entry.
        
        
        • If you don't know, Humans who get r1 Paladin get a Champion Journal Entry, then switching to Infra Black will give them a second entry, wheras Elves and Giants can only get one.
          
        • Also, there being race restricted journal entries means nobody can ever 100% the Skill journal tab.
          
        
        
      • All unique Seal Breaker journal entries merged into 1 entry that rewards 300 points. (Right now, if a regular player goes all out and caps the Exploration tab, they'd have 270/3570 journal points. A regular player would have more like 190/3570.) At the moment there are 11 Seal Breaker entries in the Exploration tab, this change applies to those, not the Seal Breaker entry in the Special tab.
        
      
      
    • Renamed/Removed tabs
      
      
      • General tab renamed Character.
        
      • Special tab renamed Pet tab.
        
      • Battle tab removed due to everything in it being moved away.
        
      
      
    • Moved tabs
      
      
      • All Diligent title and Part Time Job related journal entries are now in the Character tab.
        
      • Spirit Weapon Maker and other Spirit Weapon journal entry are now in the Character tab.
        
      • Elite Alchemist moved to the Character tab.
        
      • Cooking, Fishing, and Taming journal entries are now in the Skill tab.
        
      • Philanthropist journal entry is now in the Content tab.
        
      • A Born Gladiator entry is now in the Content tab.
        
      
      
    • New Journal Tabs
      
      
      • New journal tab called Dungeons. All Dungeon entries and Abyss Dungeon entries moved to this tab.
        
      • New journal tab called Shadow Missions. All Shadow Missions, Elite Missions, Lord Missions, and Secret Missions entries moved to this tab.
        
      • New journal tab called Theatre Missions. All Theatre Missions and NPC Tourny entries moved to this tab.
        
      • New journal tab called Commerce. All Commerce and Outlaw entries moved to this tab.
        
      • New journal tab called Storyline. The G1-3, G7-16, both Saga 1, Saga 2, For Golvan, Rush of Love, and Rua's Gift Quest.
        
      
      
    • New Journal Entries
      
      
      • Journal entries added for all Abyss dungeons. This would be in the Dungeon tab.
        
      • Journal entries added for Saga 2 and G7. This would be in the Storyline tab.
        
      • Journal entries added for lvl 4, 10, and 14 homesteads. This would be in the Character tab.
        
      • Journal entries added for current level 110~200 in multiples of 10. This would be in the Character tab.
        
      • Journal entry added for completing all four Castle Dungeons. This would be in the Dungeon tab.
        
      • Journal entry added for getting all the other NPC Tourny journal entries. (If you didn't know, you can't get all the NPC Tourny journal entries in 1 full run.) This would be in the Theatre Mission tab.
        
      • Journal entries added for reaching Level 9 Commerce Credit in each town. (Nine separate entries, not one for getting them all to Level 9.) This would go in the Commerce tab.
        
      • Journal entry added for getting all the other Outlaw journal entries. This would go in the Commerce tab.
        
      • Journal entries added for having 30, 40, 50, and 60 Master Titles (at the minute there's only 1, 10, and 20). This would be in the Skill tab.
        
      • Journal entries added for finding Maiz, Karu, and Longa dungeon. (Three different entries, not one entry.) This goes in the Exploration tab.
        
      • Journal entry added for getting 60 rafting stars in 1 run. This goes in the Content tab.
        
      • Journal entry added for completing Forest Purificaiton. This goes in the Content tab.
        
      • Journal entry added for completing Falias Treasure Quest. This goes in the Content tab.
        
      
      
    • Hurray for King Krug!, Hurray for Castanae!, and the Seal Breaker (the one in the Special tab, not Exploration) are removed.
      
    
    

  
  
  I'm planning to talk about some of the content in here in more detail later. But I don't really want there to be "use" to Journal, I'm kind of disapointed already that Royal Alchemists use Journal for advantage.

  The biggest problem with the journal is that it doesn't really do anything. Perhaps if there was some content/rewards that only players with a certain journal point score could access, then it might be worth working on.
  
  I would also love for them to disable the "hide journal tab" option. I want to judge everyone.

  Judging people is exactly why I don't want the Journal to account for anything. I want to distinguish between the people who are completionists and the people who are elitests.
  
  If I had it my way, only the General/Character tab would be toggleable on/off, with the rest being fair game.

  I'm against forcing everyone to have their equipment and journal view because it allow a person to judge you which could promote elitism in some ways... A terribad idea too, like Kapra said.
  
  And also... I would implement so you can see your own CP and make it so people can view your CP if you toggled it on in the Option just like with equipment and journal.

  Elven Magic Missile:
  

  
  
  • Fire deals 30% damage over time for 10 seconds.
    
  • Ice cuts Movement Speed by 50% for 10 seconds.
    
  • Lightning decreases enemy Defense by 35 and Protection by 15, both physical and magical, for 15 seconds.
    

  
  
  Hail Storm:
  

  
  
  • No longer cancels on knockdown, but all charges at lost ranks N-2. Rank 1 only loses one charge. 3 seconds is still pretty long just to re-charge it.
    
  • Range increased 1200 -> 1500 at Ranks N-6, 1300 -> 1600 at Ranks 5-2, and 1400 -> 1700 at Rank 1. Why the hell is it equivalent to a bolt spell, when the other Int and Adv magic have far superior range? I personally find it very hard to utilize Hail Storm without getting aggro'd.
    
  • Charges 1 and 2 now have 100 and 150 splash radius, respectively.
    
  • Charge 3 radius increased 100 -> 200, charge 4 radius 250 -> 400, charge 5 radius 200 -> 300. It's radius is pretty fucking tiny, nearly equivalent to the Defense skill's party defense buff.
    

  
  
  Lightning Rod:
  

  
  
  • Max charge damage is replaced with Magic Defense and Magic Protection cut, but only occurs when fully charged all the way. Rank 1 has -40 Magic Def and -20 Magic Protection for 15 seconds.
