Greetings, Rune Hunters.

We would first like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to your gameplay.

We would like to inform you about the changes to the Whirlwind skill following the May 9 (Thu) update.

Firstly, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by the changes in the skill you might have been using.

We would like to address the issue of Whirlwind's reduced strike count following this update.
This issue is not an error, but rather the result of today's update involving a structural bug fix in the channeling skill.

The channeling skill's base strike count rule per attack cycle was not working properly, resulting in an issue where the base strikes were being applied abnormally.
The May 9 (Thu) update addressing this issue has inevitably resulted in the decrease in Whirlwind's DPS.

The current decrease in Whirlwind's DPS following the update is structurally normal.
However, in consideration of Rune Hunters who may have experienced inconvenience due to the unannounced bug fix, we would like to take the following measures.

We plan to revert the changes made to the channeling skill today as soon as possible.
The issue relating to the bug fix for the channeling skill mentioned above must be addressed.
However, in order to provide sufficient time for Rune Hunters to adjust to the skill changes, we will consider implementing them in the next season.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for not making an announcement in advance.
We will always strive to maintain the quality and reliability of our services.

Thank you.
