With the Lost Ark update on Wednesday, March 6th, a total of 3 classes had their stagger values changed. The classes affected were Glavier, Arcanist, and Sorceress, and they all have in common that they were all buffed without any numerical nerfs.

Glavier's Raging Dragon Slash, Starfall Pounce, and Red Dragon's Horn stagger were increased. From the Glavier's perspective, whose stagger had been greatly reduced since the previous balance patch, the stagger buff is welcome, but there is a disappointment that all of the skills targeted are Focus skills. In addition, the bug in Iron Lance was fixed, and it now has Low stagger as indicated, instead of the lowest stagger.

Arcanist simply had the stagger value of Four of a Kind increased. Empress Grace Arcanists are using Four of a Kind in many builds, so this is somewhat meaningful. If you use Continuous Attack, you can deal over 100 stagger in an instant, but that tripod is not generally used.

Sorceress had the stagger of her awakening skill, Apocalypse Call, increased. However, the stagger value of one meteor in the experiment was found to be the same as before, and the number of meteors has increased. After the patch, there are a total of 30 meteors, and the stagger value per meteor is about 5.8. It is generally impossible to hit all 30 meteors, but for special bosses such as Behemoth, it is possible to deal over 170 stagger with one awakening skill.

In addition, Concussion was added to Reverse Gravity. However, there is a high probability that Ignition will not use the skill itself, and if it is Flux, it will have to compete with tripods such as Wide Attack, so there is almost no merit. The Doomsday Flame Zone tripod also had a slight increase in stagger, but it is safe to say that it is meaningless.
