Aside from the patch notes, idk what the deal with stabbing a Ranger and even Casters 6+ times with short sword without dying. They don't even have to run, they could just stand there. Reload, let you get a 6 piece on em. Swiss cheese that mf. And he swings twice landing hilts and you're GG'd. *(Im currently running +2 strength in every single piece of gear + Trickster + short sword.. yes insanely weird build.. but 6 stabs is not enough to kill the squishies even..)*

Meanwhile all anybody queues is Ranger, Fighter, Warlock, healer cleric full plate because anything else is pointless when you're not maxing PDR you're going to live for a single swing.

Meanwhile full plate can walk around getting endlessly stabbed and suffer not even 10% of what anybody else not wearing plate is. And for somebody wearing full plate.. Their move speed isn't really that slow either.

Add a healer in that.. yeah. Pointless running anything right now that isn't "big numbers all at once".. you know it's some type of way when Barb's aren't even showing up anymore lol..

*(Im allover the place with this post. I love this wipe more than any other. But there's some constructive criticism to be made about anything)*

Granted I'm running Squire Royale kits. I did dagger spec and had 2 instances where I would stab a ranger 6x + double stab and they're still not dying. This came to a head when it was a wizard and same deal - double stab + 4 stabs + 2 dagger throws and still not dead.

This was all without them healing either.

I'm positive this is just a squire thing, I'm sure the upper echelons are still zero'ing people in a prick hair of a second.

Or is it just in rough shape rn?

For instance, here's an example game I just had:

Barb, Fighter, and Rogue (me obviously).

We launch into some obscure corner of the map. Fighter and Barb ping mid.

"One of those games"

Alright. Let's fuckin party.

We're dancing around, slay some noobs. At one point we're at the brink of death, caught between 3 teams.

2 of the teams end up going off and making out somewhere.

Whereas squaring up with ours, I pull off a cheeky assassination on the magic man. And throw a dagger tele on my own guy to escape.

We end up killing the other 2 and heading back into bridge to go party some more. Golem is chasing me around and the fighter and Barb are looting.

"F)&@ it. Full greed"

I teleport up to gold chest via Rogue sorcery.

Ping the ol' rusty. And next things next, we're in the loot room clearing the pile.

Agenda changes, suddenly these chads don't wanna send it down mid anymore xD

We end up pulling more keys, hitting more piles. And slaughtering teams along the way. I got whacked at one point, luckily the shrine was right there for them to revive my noob ass.

And continue hitting more piles.

This is just one game out of idk how many similar since I actually started playing this class after 600 hours. Love the abilities. Love the changes. I'am ungodly hooked.

Can't wait to see what's next.
