The thought behind these changes is to lower overall damage output by effects, making jutsu's that do raw damage more appealing without needing secondary tags. Bloodline stuff will always be stronger than none bloodline so these will have a higher base than what can be found in the open. However, their cooldowns won't be changed to force diversification and resource management. In the future, we plan to remove some of the buff/debuff tags and diversify them.

Ranks on Bloodline stuff does not indicate strength. By all means Bloodline stuff are designed to be used throughout the game at all ranks, but for the sake of distribution they are given out in all Ranks.

Bloodline dots might be too strong so these are subject to change after further review.

These changes are locked in till end of the month where by then we should have our dev server where select users will be invited to test certain things. This patch was made by talking with a few users who are top of the leaderboard and taking their opinion into consideration. Some changes are temporary(BEE) until new tags are released and certain things are fixed. There will be a discord mega thread for you to give feedback and question changes.

Recoil:

Recoil has been removed or set to target self, some jutsu very rare ones still apply recoil other_user this is to ensure that stacking dots + recoil is lowered.

Cleanse and Clear AP Cost has been risen to 60.

Next we're looking at Jonin Jutsu, removing some of the buffs and debuffs so these tags actually matter now, bloodlines provide alot of utility already so now we're looking to diversify everyone. More to come on these later. We're looking to work on Ranges for different offences so persons have to now play their range instead of sitting beside each other more. Taijutsu will see most of their ranges drop to 2 and 3, While Nin and Weapon will see more 3 and 4. Genjutsu will see more ranges between 4 and 5.

Bloodline jutsus will break these molds as the above is for general Jonin stuff. Forbidden Jutsus are in but they have not been released yet.

The full patch notes detailing all the changes will come in a next news post but these are just the thoughts on what is happening.
