  I'm guessing Shields are guarantee evie cant die in one shot then.

  
  I feel the need to respond to this.
  
  Evies are terribly squishy, and they can definitely die in one hit fully geared. You probably see Evies die in Glas all the time, because that's a one hit that's basically unavoidable.
  
  Normal attacks can only break through mana shields. If a shield is up, the attack will only consume the shields, even if there's only one.
  
  Criticals break through and go to HP. In the event of a critical hit, an Evie gets hit hard. When most (competent) Evies die, they died to a critical.
  
  They're also vulnerable to the many combo attacks, even if they don't critical, as getting stunlocked and killed from full to zero is a very real threat that is largely irrelevant in most other circumstances for other classes, except spears with mediocre defense and perhaps scythes. Everyone else can get out of pseudo-stunlocks more easily.

  Boss HP bars are in all modes now because they replaced Normal&Hard mode with level requirements: 8-30, 31-50, 51-60, 70-80 and Hero mode. They did take damage numbers from XE and add it to S2.

  
  So needed, no more guessing 8D

  I'm just trying to figure out why gravity seems to be much harder on non evies.

  ...because shields absorb non-criticals. That is the reason.

  So they are op.
  
  
  I hope gravity doesnt take effect if you jump. I wonder if someone can test this :|

  I don't like that :l I should be allowed to do whatever I want if I'm passed the level requirement, it doesn't make a difference. I guess with HP bars it's not such a big deal, I just don't like it.

  Do you seriously mean what you're saying right now, or are you just being silly and controversial?

  There is a distinct possibility that I am creating drama.
  
  
  anyway, Do they plan on discontinuing the XE servers or something? They dont seem to have much point if they're just adding jumps to s2. Hell I doubt NA will ever get an XE server.

  I don't think that NA has given us any hints for Ignition's time yet... I would assume some news sometime around the middle of fall. Around there. Maybe. Hopefully.

  Oh... Can a lv 70 actually go into a lesser level area or no?
  
  By the way, how are Raid Battles gonna work now?

  You can't, notice how the 8-30 is in red.
  
  No idea about the raids, but we'll see once they hit the test server.

  At first I thought the highlighted red meant they can't access it but after watching junyoop's Morban vid @6:40 the highlighted red is to select the lvl you want to do. So a lvl 70 can do all the lower lvl runs.

  I think S2 is the end of Premier and XE servers and everything will be 1 global version.
  I personally hope they decide to do this as both versions combined will feature the best of both versions to every continent.
