The Zobal is in the long list of classes to balance with Dofus 2.70. In addition to stacking limits and small nerfs, it benefits from some improvements to its casting conditions.
Dofus 2.70: Zobal balancing
First of all, Masquerade becomes a variant of Passion, Neurosis becomes a variant of Trance and Diffraction in the face of Grimace. This was the main modification present during Ankama Live, in order to bring a small nerf to the accumulations. The summoning of the Zobal itself sees its behavior modified a little and gains a new mechanic to exchange positions via Masquerade. On the elemental paths side, we will appreciate the return of the modifiable range on most of the Pleur or Pleur-Intrepid spells.
Following the latest changes, the Zobal has become particularly powerful in terms of protection, with an excessive accumulation of shield spells. In this update, we are reducing this stacking by returning Grimace and Diffraction as variations of one another.
