Back when this game wasn't Lethal Jesus Blow Online, we had gameplay like this...

...and I "**** in my pants...

A Dragonknight tanking and killing 10+ people at a time? Yep, that's the 1.5 I remember. Good riddance.

Alomar · May 2015

But.... But... But... now we have less lag and ultimates are more easily acquirable for different play styles! Oh wait, wrong *** got worse.

let's ignore the negates, support heal and also the fact that those 10+ people comprised dks as well

I liked my perma-blocking light armor DK that could drop standards every 10 seconds too!

kendellking_chaosb14_ESO · May 2015

full light Sword and Shield Prema blocking was bad but... worst part was all the Nightblades tying to rez while standing like why not stealth rez into a cloak and repeat so sad

I feel like you kinda deserve to any incoming flames that you get since this is only going to appear nostalgic for you and anyone else who got to enjoy being an overpowered DK.

If you think LA DKs are the only ones who miss this, you are mistaken

Derra · May 2015

Honestly, this is the type of video that actually makes me feel better about 2.0 bc the showcased gameplay of a particular class is no longer possible to this extend.

Pointing out negates and supportheal does not really better your position either :P bc it just underlines what the purpose of every other class in 1.5 was - support for the DK killingmachines.

<-NB and I miss 1.5 where a skilled 10 men group was able to destroy a 30 men raid.

"Back before something I used was nerfed I could do OP things with it"

Sorry, couldn't resist

Draxys · May 2015

everyone that thinks DKs were still overpowered in 1.5 were the idiots that kept firing arrows at their wings and didn't heal debuff them

No they we´re only the best grp dd by a wide margin and unbelievable effective against scrubs when compared to the other classes. Hm wait - that might actually fit the description of overpowered. Damn. I´ve not even finished leveling my bow - that explains it i guess.

blabafat · May 2015

Everyone hating LOL
Sounds like a L2P issue if ya ask me

I miss 1.5 too. As stated earlier, defending an outpost from 25 people with 5 people and winning was satisfying, fun, and 100% possible.

Now though...Zerg or Get Zerged

No, I'm not a DK. No, I'm not a vampire.

I'm a Templar.

i miss it cause my negate was the difference between a wipe and win. The game was alot more fun in 1.5, but tbh i think it was even more fun in the days of ground oils. so who am i to give an opinion.

All classes and also miss 1.5...

mortuusbae · May 2015

back when zerg busting was a thing :'(

eliisra · May 2015

I really miss my 1.5 templar. Would gladly delete my Jesus Beam to get these things back:

Instant heal without trash GCD, Blinding Flashes against mele ganks, survivability, Puncturing Sweep not buffing multiple enemies with free cc immunity, stacking Dark Flare's on DK d-bags, Immovable being worth slotting and that lovely stamina management

Roll back please. I wont complain about cookie cutter1vX swarming DK's, I promise.

FMonk · May 2015

1.5 definitely had it's problems, but anyone who doesn't think it was overall much more balanced, lag-free, and enjoyable to play is either delusional or a nightblade.

olsborg · May 2015

Certain aspects of pre 1.6 I do miss, like more weight on player skill and less on spam. But I certainly think 1.6 is overall better and balanced. This video pretty much underlines my point nicely.

Germtrocity · May 2015

If they just reverted how ultimate was gained, I feel as if many issues would be solved

Oughash · May 2015

That video was awesome! Wish you had posted months back! DKs should always be balls-deep. Now all we get is the tip before we're blown up...

WTB Dynamic Ultimate generation!!!!!

Etaniel DK [Smurf Squad][Mayhem] Alliance war rank 34 [EU DC]

you been a DK all your ESO life, so yeah you on the side of the overpowered DK pre 1.5 as well, that also goes for none LA DKs, they needed what they got in 1.6

Manoekin · May 2015

Just keep 1.5 with no heal debuff stacking, purge fix, wings change, and negate change. That's all I wanted

Pretty much - but it would make todays server issues that much more laughable and amazing to watch.

Soris · May 2015

It is hilarious how people rejoice for DKs being nerfed to ground. I bet y'all one of those people who fire arrows into Reflective Scales. But don't worry, you will no longer feel ashamed when your zerg wiped by 3. Zos is babysitting you by doing things in your favor.

Any bombplar or saptank or streak vampire sorc could do pretty much same thing shown in the video. DKs just did it bit better with better resource management through Battle Roar. It is just a big L2P issue, nothing more.

Heavy armor DK tanks were worlds better in 1.5 tbh.

This former "streak vampire sorc" didn't like his position in the 1.5 meta at all. I didn't want to be a vampire, first because I didn't like it and second because it gimped me so hard against DKs who already were my worst enemies because I used a Destro Staff.
But I was able to get up a group that would be able to achieve quite a lot, every class had a part to play and I played a keyrole in our success. That was fun. That is what I wish back from 1.5.

@Ishammael Those clips literaly happened the night before the 1.6 patch. We tried having as much fun as we could get !

What made them "the best group dds by a wide margin"? Honestly I don't think this is true. Apart from reflect Dk skills did average damage and playing in group you usually didn't get hit by too many projectiles. Dks were the best class to charge in an facetank many players, definetly. But I don't think that Dks actually did more damage than the other classes.

The combination of devouring Swarm + reflect was incredible against people who fed you Ultimate. On the other hand you were really reliant on this Ultimate. If you watch the video you might notice that he runs low on Stamina quite often. And this is with getting quite a bunch of Stamina from Repentance. Against bad players who just shot projectiles at you while being stacked up in melee range you had no problems. It was an awesome build that was actually different from the normal archetypes.

I think 1.5 was way better and more balanced and i don't see how Etaniels group slaying trashmobs prove anything else. In the video you see some of the best DC players fighting against stupid pugs. Can't really take that as reference.
