We'll make sure piercing shot is working as previously~
Unfortunately we were not able to change the spell for the update, however we do have some plans for it and hope to release an updated piercing shot in a near future Server Save.

Thank you to everyone for testing and feedback leading up to the update! There were a lot of significant changes in all parts of the game. We will continue to monitor everything and if necessary make further adjustments so everything is as fun and balanced as possible for everyone! :)

I congratulate you for the work, but the ranger class needs attention as it was done with the Barbarians.

I was able to test this update with more dedication now.

Definitely return Hellish volley to 2s and increase the damage of all Bow, take away their defense, it doesn’t make sense, creaking is ranged combat, not melee.

Thanks for the update .

Some concern.

[20:45:09] You are looking at an ancient spell book (attack 0.0, defense 7.5, +4 magic level, 2% magic resistance). Only a mage is able to wield it.
[20:45:18] You are looking at a spell book of glory (attack 0.0, defense 6.8, +2 magic level, 3% magic resistance). Only a mage is able to wield it.
You are looking at a noble Zezenian spell book (attack 0.0, defense 8.7, +4 magic level, 3% magic resistance, 1% hp steal). Only a mage is able to wield it.

The glory book is too o.p compared to the others that are hard to get from quest / boss drops... XD.
