Returning after 2+ year break/vaca

[Neflak]

Hello Everybody,

I am returning after a long break from gaming, but I knew that the standard mainstream MMO/hand holding type games were not goin to be for me.

I am more or less curious as to major changes that have gone on that effect balance or has effected the way we typically play? Maybe anything else that is relevant from the last few years.

Thank you for your time and help in getting me back up to speed

24 aoe cap
gear up to Sovereign(forts and cities)
dungeons up to Bastion Stair(Bloodlord)
TB just got added
Ranked Scenario Season 2 is around the corner
Hunter's Vale is eta soon
Slayer is the king of dps

Would be the most notable things... i think

Thanks for taking the time! What is "aoe" and what is "tb"?

Nice to see they've been working on the PvE dungeons, I am sure that will bring a different flow to the game and give people something to do, although PvE was usually a little buggy in this game and by no means easy.

Area of Effect so basically anything that affects an area. Except party effects like buffs.

TB is Trivial Blows Renown Point feature, which reduces critical damage taken multiplicatively

oh haha AoE as in area of effect, yes I knew that I thought it was referencing an instance or something. So it has been capped at hitting only 24 people now... that is interesting. I am sure that primarily effects keep defense for sorc, bw, engi magus?

Thank you for clarifying.

Beneficiaries i would say are Slayer>>Choppa/Mara>Engi/Magus and Sorc/BW i would hold out on, before the whole TB fiasco is resolved.
