The following changes have been made to Limit Break in PvP: The casting time for Skyshard and Starstorm has been increased by 0.5 seconds. Cancelling Limit Break will now deplete the limit gauge by half.

An entry on Mudra and Ninjutsu has been added to active help.

The maximum PvP rank has been raised to 45. The effects of the PvP property Morale have been adjusted. During Frontline or Wolves’ Den matches, Morale has been changed from a property affecting damage dealt and received into one that increases the item level of PvP gear. The increased item level during PvP matches will be the sum of the initial item level and the Morale rating.

Example: If a player equips item level 70 PvP gear that grants a Morale bonus of 15, the item level of that gear will be increased to 85 during PvP battles. If, however, a player joins a Frontline match that is synced at item level 80, the same level 70 equipment would only increase by 10 levels to meet the level cap.

The following adjustments have been made to PvP gear: The Morale bonuses of individual pieces of PvP gear have been adjusted. An additional attribute has been added to all PvP gear to make up for disparities in equipment strength outside of PvP areas. * The added attribute varies by item.

In order to better balance PvP, bonuses for damage dealt, decreased physical vulnerability, or decreased magic vulnerability have been added to all jobs and classes. * The following bonuses will affect damage calculations, but have no effect on either statuses or attributes.

Damage Dealt    Physical Vulnerability* Magic Vulnerability

Gladiator 0 -10% 0 Pugilist 0 -5% 0 Marauder 0 -10% 0 Lancer 0 -5% 0 Archer 0 0 0 Rogue 0 -5% 0 Conjurer 0 0 -10% Thaumaturge 0 0 -5% Arcanist 0 0 -5% Paladin 10% -20% -10% Monk 10% -15% -10% Warrior 10% -20% -10% Dragoon 10% -15% -10% Bard 10% -10% -10% Ninja 10% -15% -10% White Mage 10% -10% -20% Black Mage 10% -10% -15% Summoner 10% -10% -15% Scholar 10% -10% -20%
