How strong was DK before Class rework?

Above300pinginKorea · August 24

Rather than allowing the chaos in PvP to continue whilst the class rework takes over two years, wouldn’t it be better for the DK to revert to its previous state?

I haven’t been playing the game for very long, but I don’t think the DK before the rework was any weaker than the currently underperforming classes—NB, Plar, Nec and Arc.

I think this might be a way to stabilize class balancing quickly.

I would recommend rolling out the update for all classes simultaneously after the all classes reworks are fully complete.

I believe that the balance up to that time can be maintained through fine-tuning of the pure Class mastery.

Before the rework DKs were in a pretty good spot I´d say, very balanced. They had similar tools for damage although less output in general but very good damage spikes to go offensive. The main difference, which made them very well balanced compared to now is that they didn´t have literal infinite sustain. You had to play well and consider when to block. You had to alternate pots and ultimate to stay on top of your resources. With the rework they got more damage on everything and infinite sustain. Ah, and also an incredibly stacked skill for speed and snare removal, which was a pretty weak skill before the rework.
And they will not revert the rework, don´t think that´s even a consideration.

In U45 it was very strong and decent. Good duelist and good for group play. Just didn't have burst damage or range.

Pure dk in subclass era was in a better spot than the other pure classes but that didn’t mean it was actually good. You could be tanky and steal kills, that was about it. Is why I subclassed for aedric spear and animal companion and went wretched vitality with mech acuity, and it was drastically better

That’s why we can’t revert dk to before. You wanna revert dk, revert subclassing first. Gutted and gone.
