*Damage per optimized combo*
To ensure balance in pvp group content like Arenas as well as Brawl, the following changes have been made:
Here is the base of the calculations made to balance classes between each other:
- Dragoon : 28% Max HP (or 4 combos to kill)
- Overlord: 31% Max HP (or 3 combos + some hits or 4 combos to kill).
- Invoker: 21% Max HP (or 5 combos to kill).
- Sorcerer: 40% Max HP (or 2 combos + some hits or 3 combos to kill).
- Sentinel: 36% Max HP (or 2 combos + some hits or 3 combos to kill).
- Destroyer: 40% Max HP (or 2 combos + some hits or 3 combos to kill).
- Savage: 36% Max HP (or 3 combos to kill)
- Ninja: 30% Max HP (or 3 combos + some hits or 4 combos to kill).
- Earth Master: 36% Max HP (or 3 combos to kill).
- Jumeaux: 29,3% Max HP (or 4 combos to kill).

A DPS over 3 seconds (Burst) balancing has been applied depending on the ease of each class to catch his or her opponents.
- Weak DPS: Overlord/Dragoon (DPS between 9 and 11% per Burst)
- Medium DPS: Ninja/Savage/Jumeaux (DPS between 11 and 13% per Burst)
- Strong DPS : Sentinel/Destroyer/Earth Master (DPS between 14 and 16% per Burst)
- Oracle (dps between 9 and 13% per Burst over 5s)
- Sorcerers being able to cast their spells without impairment as they are summons, the class does not follow one of these categories.

Sincerely,

The Dragonica Team
