yeah this is just the most garbage thing to do make an unblockable unbreakable skill so everyone will run it. Nice going.
Dear Community/Followers,

I want to address recent concerns regarding allegations of inappropriate direct messages and supposed cheating. First and foremost, I want to clarify that I do not admit to any wrongdoing. However, I understand that my actions may have been perceived in a way that caused concern.

As many of you know, I am a disabled veteran who served in Iraq, and I am permanently and totally mentally disabled. My PTSD, which was formally diagnosed in 2013 after being reclassified in the DSM-5, has affected me in ways that are difficult to fully explain. While this is not an excuse, it has, at times, clouded my judgment and impacted my behavior. This condition is something I have lived with for a long time, and it is a daily challenge.

As an influencer, streamer, and game reviewer with over 300 reviews, 800 followers on Twitch, and 1,600 followers on TikTok, I understand the responsibility that comes with my platform. Our role as influencers is to set a positive example, and I want to make it clear that I do not condone actions that go against the Terms of Service (TOS) or End User License Agreements (EULA) of any platform or community. Even though societal norms have evolved, and what was once deemed acceptable behavior in the past is no longer appropriate, I am committed to adapting and ensuring that my actions reflect the values we strive for today.

I want to go forward with a commitment to better representing the disabled members of our community. I recognize that I may never fully "fit in" or be "normal," but I am dedicated to improving and learning from these experiences. It is crucial that we have more flexibility and better support services for disabled veterans like myself, so we can remain active members of our communities without being unfairly limited by our disabilities. These services would help ensure that we can make better decisions and avoid situations like this in the future.

Thank you for your understanding, and I am grateful for the continued support of this community as I work to become a better version of myself.

Sincerely,
theshockcable

    We needed something on the Melee side to compete with the meta Assassination+Storm+Animals, and I assume almost everyone playing Ranged is using Javelin which is also unblockable.

    Not to say I've forgotten the long FireDK meta which only really ended with Subclassing.

    It reminds me of the time where Cyro was full of DKs running perma corrosive builds.

    The state of the game is going to be unbalanced for a while. Would you rather the game rot away like it has been with utter stagnancy?

    I like the DK now.
    I tested it against a low-end world boss and knocked a million points off it before others discovered the fight and joined in. I took some damage but recovered with my bow skill and was able to maintain agro AND attack. I feel like I finally have something to offer a group in a dungeon scenario.
    I hope it doesn't get beat down by the PvP crowd as NB did.

    yeah its load of people in there with DK. Would i rather it stagnate? that's a rather odd question and opaque blakc and white way to put it . Like it or watch it collapse. So weird. Nah, of course not no one wants an investment to crash. I'm sure I'm not alone in looking for balance though.

    This dk is not bad now. Just everyone is running it.

    Imagine if all the classes did the exact same thing and the only difference was how the player used them. Wouldn't that be a batter path?

    This is a "Damned if you do, damned if you don't." type situation, so I will put it like this:

    I would much, MUCH rather the developers take as long as they need to in order to balance the classes out instead of having them rush their way through every class in the span of three months only for people to complain about everything at the same time. It's far better to get feedback on one class than seven at the same time.
    May your crops be sun-blessed, sweet soul.

    …are you talking about Shattering Rocks? Because that has always existed. Are you talking about Leap? Because, again, that’s already existed. I’ve fought a ton of DKs, and I can tell you if you time out their burst, keep some distance, and cleanse periodically, they aren’t much harder to best than they were before the rework. There’s just more of them because people are excited about the rework.
