Recent nerf of Assassin Dagger as core item of WoE build
With the recent update the Assassin Dagger was reworked to be: Assassin Dagger has been reverted to its original effect (+30 SP). The more recent effect we were incorrectly using until now (HP +20%, SP +15%) will be restored in a later episode. The +2% ASPD and Shadow Element are still available.
For my current WoE oriented level 98 Assassin (Slice and Dice) the Assassin Dagger is a core item in several regards. My build is based on 100 total VIT. Along with switching to a Peco Peco carded armor and the assassin dagger it is possible to withstand a medicore Asura Strike. This is not possible at all anymore.
In the current episode assassins are already performing very poorly in WoE. By taking away the only exceptional item it's rendered inferior to almost any other class, focusing on breaking the emperium.
The nerf came out of a sudden and was applied few hours before WoE, which caught me completely off guard.
Is there anything you would be willing to do about the issue? My level 98 assassin is revolving around this item and without it's effect - that was available for several years now! - I will and can not play it anymore.
Additional remarks: Even though it's mentioned to be temporary it will most likely be like that for a very long time. I'd like to point out that this nerf heavily impacts the market price of the item. I paid 5m for the dagger and bought two of them and I will not get any compensation for that. The reasoning that "it's not supposed to be like this in this episode" is very hypocritical as items like Metaling Card, Ninja weapons and other content was and still is available even though it's definitely not supposed to be available when neither the mob Metaling nor the Ninja class is inamge. The change was not accounced and applied right before WoE. Please announce such changes in advance.
