Some changes in Elf Race: The formula for calculating the final damage is aligned with a similar formula for calculating the Damage of Orcs. This new formula will not affect the Backstab damage . Under the influence of elf racial ability in battle the chance to do a backstab will be increased by 5% each cycle until a backstab has occured. When the backstab works, its chance returns to basic and start's inceasing again. Elfs racial ability will no longer allow the character to ignore target's shield blocks. Ignorence of parry and suppression under elfs racial ability remains the same. The update is in test phase.
