Third good news: We will conclude this week with a little surprise… What suprise??, this is the end of the week and we still didn't get any news about it. Unless Ankama works on weekend, they didn't keep on their promises.

They did, check FR forum, we just didn't got the translation, odd...

In the french forums it is saying that there will be changes to pvp and agro's.
EDIT: Someone was faster than I ^^

To make it short:

1) in PvP you're HP is tripled

2) HP skills are unaffected by this

3) The team with the higher average Ini goes first, but you alternate between each other like in Dofus.

4) After getting killed in an Attack you will be immune to attacks for 5 minutes, unless you attack people yourself.

So the Hp stat just got a lot more interesting for pvp maniacs while ini got a nerfed. Seems a good change.

It is always nice to see how ankama treat us with equality from french to no-french ^^ that was posted about 2 hours ago,nothing here until now =)

Please give Troyle a break since he translates it all by its own  

2 new sets from world bosses guys, listen to inside ankama

i remembered Troyle is at the Animagic Convention here in Germany, thats probably why we didnt get a translation yet.

Here it says that they didnt release the information before cause of translation,so why isnt this ready yet ?

And sorry i didnt know that only one guys had to translate it alone,i though ankama changed since the time i used to play dofus

PvP Combat Revisited Incooooming! Take a look at our latest Dev Blog where we discuss changes to Player-versus-Player combat included in Content Update 1.5!
We are excited to share with you some remodeling plans for Player-versus-Player combat in the next patch.

First, we would like to state that these are just the first round of changes. In the coming months, we plan to make additional alterations to PvP -- in terms of both rulesets and associated game content. For this first phase however, we will try to extend the duration of fights while at the same time strengthen the tactical depth of fights.

As always, we will carefully listen to your feedback in order to implement a PvP system that you will find both enjoyable and rewarding.
Balancing & Bonuses One of the changes we intend to implement will be very straightforwared: upgrading Health Points!

The system is simple: when a player enters into PvP combat his or her Health Points will automatically be multiplied by 3. The player can see his or her PvP Health Points directly via the life bar and they will have a special color.


Through this change, going first won't be as important and we hope it will improve tactical play. One example of this is the fact that players will have to pay more attention to how they manage their Wakfu Points. Forget the mindless duels that finish within two turns!

There is some subtlety, however; during PvP, some spell effects will only be applied by taking into account the base Health Points of the player, and not the total of Health Points boosted thanks to the PvP bonus.

Here is the list of the exceptional spells:

• Sacrier: Coagulation
• Ecaflip: Black Bow Meow, Hairy Moon, Meowtyrdom Tarot, The Croquette
• Eniripsa: Sadist Mark, Regeneration, Transcendence, Coney, Massacuring Mark
• Enutrof: Drhellzerker, Phone a Frhend, Combat Training
• Pandawa: Master of Merriment
• Sram: Torment
• Sadida: Doll

We hope that these changes will make PvP more tactical and longer. In addition, with the class balancing that you have seen this week, this will lay a sound foundation to evolve the PvP system in the right direction.
New Timeline We are also introducing a new feature that will impact both PvP and PvE (fighting against creatures). It is therefore important to discuss it in this Dev Blog as well.

It has been decided to change the current Timeline system to further strengthen the strategic aspect of combat and prevent devastating combos based solely on the Initiative rank of players. The timeline is the Initiative gauge appearing on the right side of your screen and determines the order of turns for each player and their enemies in combat.


We will change the way in which we calculate the turn of each player within the timeline. This will now be done at the end of the preparation phase and will go through two steps:


If several players have the same Initiative, this is how their order will be determined:

• The player with the highest level will play first.
• If players have the same level, we will decide the order of play randomly.

If the two teams do not have the same number of fighters, they will be spread as described above. The largest team will then have several players who will play in a row.

Here is an example of the system:


We recognize that this new system will reduce the impact of Initiative on PvP; however, we plan to make additional improvements to PvP in upcoming updates to:

• Facilitate the understanding of game mechanics,
• Strengthen the impact of Initiative on the combat system,
• Better pace combat with the appearance of faster and regular Initiative bonuses.

We'll talk more in details about these when the time comes.
Non-Aggression StateMuch of the community suffers from “camping” and many of you have reached out to us. We have listened to your feedback and decided to put in place, in Content Update 1.5, a state of "Non-Aggression."

When a player is killed in an aggressive PvP battle, this state will automatically be applied to the "victim" for a period of 5 minutes, during which time the player can no longer be attacked. However, any PvP action on that player's part will make the state disappear. Additionally, if you assault a player when you are in a state of non-aggression, you will automatically lose that state.

This limitation will evolve with future updates of PvP content to take into account any possible scenario. Our goal is to eliminate behaviors interfering with your enjoyment of the game while also not creating other loopholes and PvP immunities.
KenKOI conclude with a modification to the KenKO, the item that lets you resurrect someone outside of a fight. It will now apply the "De Darm" state (as happens when you use a regular Phoenix).

That's all for now! As we have stated throughout this Dev Blog, these are merely the first steps in our continued effort to make Player-versus-Player combat more enjoyable and rewarding. We will come back to you shortly to discuss our progress on this aspect of WAKFU, and to discuss other optimizations that will soon be added! In the mean time, we look forward to your feedback and hope you enjoy the changes!

Sadi and Osa wil be without fun xD

Great change. However, I think we'll have new balancing issues. For example classes heavily based on WP will be weaker (fire Iop, Cra for keeping distance). Water Xelor will be weaker, cause hyperaction will start meaning a lot. Etc., etc.
But still anything will be better than the pvp situation, we have now.

Great News!!

Just a thought, Eniripsas absorption will be a little op. They will deny a min of 450 to 600 dmg - more or less - in a fight without heals!
