  Blaze is hard to pull off in regular combat which is why its damage output is justified.

  
  
  ?_? I thought Blaze is one of the things of Magic that needs to be nerfed?
  
  

  Quote from Kapra;1273616:

  So now Defense and Counterattack are not viable too? Is there any skill in this game you are not cross with?

  
  
  In what situation would you actually use them over Windmill or Rage Impact? What good is being able to run with Defense and walk with Counterattack? And don't fucking say Defense for its undeniably overpowered damage reduction.

  Of all races, shouldn't that effect Giants? I mean, they hardly have a reason to ever use the Light Armors they even have access to with how great heavy armors are with what little penalties they carry.

  
  
  Good point. I would still minimize the penalty.
  
  Giant: -10% to -5%
  Human: -15% to -10%
  Elf: -30% to -15%
  
  We'll use the KISS principle here.

  Blaze is only really overpowered in places like the martial arts tournament because it features single, clustered spawns with high enough health to warrant that level of damage output. On that note, I wonder if Rage Impact influences the explosion damage dealt by Blaze...Support Shot can boost it.

  Martial Arts is a good starting point. You've got a heavily reduced Windmill radius coupled with a heavily reduced Counterattack cooldown.
  
  Counterattack is a basic combat skill. It doesn't risk triggering defense nor does it reset AI, which is a bad thing against some monsters. Comparing it to Rage Impact is silly since the latter has a huge cooldown in comparison. That's like saying "In what situation would you use Fireball over Meteor Strike?"
  
  ...and unlike you I support the shield-based damage reduction that shields provide. That being said, I would make adjustments to the current variables.
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Defense no longer reduces magic-based damage.

  Damage reduction (large): Reduced to 75% from 100%
  
  New Set Effect: Defense Enhance
  
  Increases damage reduction while defending by 20%.
  
  Shields: 3~5
  
  Composite Shield
  Heater Shield
  Targe Shield
  Dragon Shield
  
  Shields: 5~5
  
  Demonic Fear Shield
  Vales Shield
  
  Weapons: 3~5
  
  Celtic Royal Battle Axe

  Quote from Kaeporo:

  Defense: I would retain shield damage reduction, though I would reduce the extent to which damage is reduced. Perhaps reducing it from 50/75/100% to 20/40/60% would be much more feasible. In addition, it would be interesting if the resisted damage reduced the player's stamina.

  
  
  ? Personally I don't think it should be extremely superior than Wind Guard. Plus shields already have Hidden Defense Stats, which already boosts melee and ranged Defense bonuses to beyond -100 damage, so adding much more seems awfully too much.
  
  

  New Set Effect: Defense Enhance
  
  Increases damage reduction while defending by 20%.

  
  
  ... 95% for Giants...?
  
  
  Exploration Mastery:
  

  
  
  • Quest reward bonus now extends to killing monsters, dungeon clear, Rafting, and Hot-air Ballooning. On a related note, all Iria monsters now give Exploration EXP, and is no longer determined by CP.
    
  • Mini-map artifact reveal changed to uncovering Treasure Dungeon. This is pointless given that artifacts spawn in a fixed zone and we can just refer to Wiki for the artifact locations.
    

  
  
  Artifact Investigation:
  

  
  
  • Gold Cost reduced to 500-250.
    
  • Cooldown removed.
    
  • Appraisal value bonus rate increased to 30%.
    
  • Turning artifacts to Voight for training changed to just selling the artifact to any NPC. On a related note, sold box artifacts give back the player whatever was inside it.
    
  • Master title gold cost null increased to 10%-15%, and cooldown reduction changed to +10%-15% appraisal value bonus rate.
    

  
  
  New Skill: Artifact Unearthing:
  

  
  
  • Passively reduces the time to gather artifacts by one second, increases the chance to successfully gather artifacts (assuming its not 100% rate), and has a chance for a single gather to drop one additional artifact. Basically a life gathering skill for artifact gathering.
    

  
  
  Crisis Escape:
  

  
  
  • Removed. This fucking replaces Play Dead and Shadow Cloak, while simultaneously having no drawback.

  Those don't really do very much to improve exploration gathering methods.
  
  They need to overhaul the exploration quest board. Non-lich sketching quests need something like double or triple their current rewards. Additionally, you should have to clear something like ~10 quests before you can repeat a quest.
  
  Additionally, hot-air ballooning/rafting need slightly better rewards and artifacts need to receive a fairly hefty exploration experience buff. Adding new, valuable artifact rewards would be nice as well.

  I think you forgot the point of exploration. If anything, I'd only add exploration experience to the rewards list of enemies found via dousing, not all monsters on Iria period.

  You're saying a wiki feature being ingame is pointless? Don't bee arrogant enough to say everyone should rely on the wiki and the wiki is some almighty force.
  
  

  Artifact Investigation:
  

  
  
  • Cooldown removed.
    

  
  There being no downside at all to Artifact Investigation means Voight become completely obsolete. When DevCAT added this skill, they didn't intend it ot be a complete replacement of Voight and have every artifact use investigation, its meant for a really rare artifact you spent a while looking for, or just 1 artifact out of 10 being guaranteed to not break.

  Would be nice if there was also incentive to completing each quest at least once. Like completing 20 quests for the first time gets you a journal entry, and completing another 20 unique quests is another, only with better rewards than just journal entries.

  Let's not forget Lost Elf quest, too. On a related note, of all things why the fuck Giants still can't do them?
  
  The problem with Rafting is that some Exploration EXP is given by the Hobgoblins... which effectively means 0 if our CP is too high. That definitely needs to be reworked. Every monster should at least give some Explore EXP, and not just bosses.
  
  We also definitely need free access to the Treasure Dungeon.

  I was actually going to suggest that some point. Shockwave is a magic self-defense skill, but ironically it doesn't really reliably link well with Magic itself.

  Ehh... I'd rather have Taunt and/or Defense's party defense range massively buffed for that purpose. *wears "the Tank" title AS HUMAN*
  
  Seriously, Shakespeare can fucking Taunt, why can't I do it? I don't care about Wind Guard, I want to help protect my allies.
  
  
  

  
  
  • Elemental charging staff concept dropped completely in favor for free int magic. This is a pretty pointless feature when all it does is just amplify bolt magic damage by 15 and wastes bolts just to be able to cast int magic which is a huge drop in magic DPS, when CC wands and free int magic, respectively, outperform that.
    
  • Adv magic can now be cast by elemental-respective wands, e.g. Hail Storm with Ice Wand.
