Mag Dk needs old wings back.

Hey there, its me again just letting you know Magicka Dragonknight's need their old reflect wings back, its out of pocket how we keep taking long range damage constantly that reduction for what we have now isn't good enough, from a pvp perspective playing solo or small scale and being zerged down by multiple ranged enemies, our wings just doesn't help with survivability!

    Would be nice if this happens. MagDK is in a bad position in the actual meta.

    What? I play main MagDK pvp in cyrodiil. I'm having tons of fun. MagDK isn't in a bad place AT ALL.
    Not being able to tank off 5 ppl hitting you isn't weakness. No one should be able.
    But if those 5 ppl are snipers, then it's really easy to tank them off. Even kill them. Just use your wing, reduce 50% projectile damage and you cause flame damage back to the attacker. That alone should give you tons of survival against ranged attacks. Then just leap when you see one with half health bar and whip. R.I.P.

    I love how magDK is doing this days. Of course this buff would come handy, but I don't think it's really needed.

    People really crave poor balance this badly? Old wings are too hard of a counter to magsorc and magblade, of which I play neither. All the magdks who’ve been crutching on malacath, heavy armour and proc damage sets think an absurd wings buff make things as easy they were last patch. Wait until you play in the sewers, if you think magsorcs strong wait until you play against proc sets again and fight a stam build in pariah with malacath and balorgh on. When you’re getting wrecking blow spammed for as hard as a c frag hits by a character with capped resists and huge health recovery you won’t have the slightest problem with sorcs anymore.

    Ok then make it reflect 2 projectiles and then block 50% damage for the remaining time. Or toss the ability and replace it with a 5 times purge. Or replace wings with a timed detonation that hits someone after X seconds and bam mdk's have burst damage.

    Or you could just make it useless and no one will use it that's always cool :^D

    No, just an equally useful purge. 5k magic for a 2x purge is not viable ( this used to work when purge cost like 2k). There are many things wings or stonefist could be replaced with. God knows mdks need something for these skills.

    Old wings literally shut down everything a magblade would do except ult.

    Swallow soul? Reflect
    Merciless? Reflect
    Crippling grasp? Reflect
    Impale? Reflect
    Light attack? Reflect.

    They're awful skills for pvp.

    So I have to change to use sub optimal skills to just fight one class? Tell me one other instance where that happens.

    (Maybe) unpopular opinion: As long as Ball of lighting is allowed to exist in its current state I dont see why projectile capped wings reflecting again shouldnt exist. But as it is now wings are just a vastly inferior shimmering/ball of lightning in about every situation in the entire game.

    Now imagine being a mag DK where all of your skills are melee, your only (non-ultimate) gap closer is Empowering Chains (which is dramatically worse than Lotus Fan), and your main spammable is one of the Lava Whip morphs (neither of which is significantly better than Concealed Weapon).

    They completely ignored the fact that leap is an ultimate instead of spammable... Comparing an ultimate to spammable is in fact a prove of how weak the class is...

    I don't think protective scale should be buffed. The real problem is the class actually useless in this meta where the healings are stronger. With all the dots you still don't have damage to kill someone if he just uses a regeneration or vigor. It is hard to fix a class based on dots and a bad spammable in this meta.

    Talking about DoT.... Don't forget another disadvantage... DoT can be purged... Some classes have excellent purge or even FREE purge...

    Exactly I can kill really bad templar but it is impossible kill a templar that it is in your level because they just purge. And molten whip it is the worst spammable in this game. So we have nothing against templars

    This thread makes me lol.

    Socrates and his damned circles, y'all chasing the white rabbit on a treadmill.

    get around insane healing by proper pressure builds.

    But players get pressure nerfed the moment it's on equal footing to "burst combos".

    Defile got nerfed, though it dumbed down healing.

    IMO DK wings need to reflect past a certain distance, let’s just say the same range as lava whip, while not reflecting any projectile casted within that range. This way DK is given a “stand your ground” ability that forces ranged users to come closer to the DK so that the DK can engage them as well, given their inability to effectively fight ranged users. This would be a win-win for both DK players and ranged players as both parties have counter play towards the other.

    I would also like to mention that Warden’s Shimmering Shield and its morphs is just old DK wings that also gives major heroism. Just some food for thought.

    I like comparing it to ball of lightning instead. Which is ranged immunity+snare removal while also being the best mobility spell in the game and also absorbs projectile ultimates and dk gap closer so the one dk ability thats supposed to counter it in the first place.
