Duskblades Ultimate on Level2 is broken.

I know this can be interpreted as a suggestion but it really is more of an error than an otional fix.

Duskblades are the class in this game that can out-CC any other class as it is already and also have highest amount on skills with which they can save themselves as well.

You kinda need to change the effect on the level 2 ulti that it resets all skill-Cooldowns from the duskblade. I have a duskblade myself and the class gets absolutely boring when you use this skill because you can literally not lose anymore. To no one. That one skill makes this class unbeatable. I really dont know why PWCN thought that it would be a good idea to give the class with the biggest advantage in terms of skill another skill so that they can use all their skills again instantly. That makes absolutely no logical sense and hence must be an error that needs to be fixed.

The Duskblade class itself is extremely overpowered and needs rebalancing badly as it is. The Ultimate Skill is just broken and goes even way beyond that.

At last an example why the Ultimate is broken. Take class-x vs the duskblade on equal gears. The duskblade uses his Anti-stun, jumps to the enemy (if the enemy uses immunity the duskblade uses umbral Stalker and stays invincible until the immunity of the enemy is gone) and uses his Quadrature debuff after using Slash of Pride to disarm the enemy. Now the class-X must use their genie to stay alive cause the damage of dusks with that massive debuffs is unreal. Now the duskblade uses his Ultimate, resets all Cooldowns and does the exact same thing again but now Class-X has already used their genie and is thus unable to defend himself and gets killed ofc. During this time the Duskblade can literally stay immune to damage, making all attempts of Counter-CC impossible.

That doesnt only work once at a time. It always does and there is absolutely nothing any other class can do about it. To do that there is 0 Skill and knowledge of the game needed. It's like rolling with your head over the keyboard cause you know you are going to win by default putting any other class at a heavy, uncompensatable disadvantage (and lord knows I've tried!) thus removing the Cooldown-Reset is the only reasonable and logical choice.

@thenamesdomino @surtr feel free to contact me for any further balancing issues. I know people keep telling me that not everyone plays the game that well, so it wont bother most. I agree, that is true in some cases but this skill here needs a fix cause it makes duskblades unbeatable even if a bad players uses them. If you need assistance in meassuring how broken the skill really is you can also contact me

It's a suggestion. It's not a bug, not a broken game mechanic, not any of that stuff. So it does not belong in QC, it belongs in suggestion box.
This is the way china implemented it, it's working as designed.

Just because you say it's an error doesn't make it true, get off your high horse for once.

As long as CN servers don't have these issues, they won't bother unless they go 180 and give us completely different updates, which is unlikely.

Deal with it.​​

Anyone I talked to, anyone with the least knowledge on how this game works agrees with me that this skill is broken. Heck the whole class is. that is a flaw that interrupts the gameplay for many people as there are alot of people fighting duskblades all the time in 1on1s AND Mass-PvP. No one with a clear mind can tell me that this works as intended. It's clearly an error on CNs end and if they thought that it was a good idea they should rethink that.

I don't need to get off any high horse as all I am asking for is to using common Sense. You should get down from your high horse for once and finally accept that I am right with the majority of my posts. Ya its tough to acknowledge someone being right that you dont like. thats part of being a grown up. So act like it for once.

Also, dont assume that there are no people around that are actually pissed cause of those balancing issues with Duskblades. there are alot of people that simply dont use forums that PWE doesnt know about.

Balancing stuff in a game should always be based upon fighting someone on equal terms. I don't know their methods in terms of Quality Assurance..but the way they designed the Duskblade class. If we take away any practical action with the class and just read through all the skill it also becomes obvious that its broken. Heck you dont even need to play the class or fight against it to see how hard it can be exploited. If thats not broken, if its not a flaw then I dont know what is.

Tbh I as a seeker haven't fought a db that has given me any challenge yet (and this is when I'm being ganked by a db plus other toons at once ).
It does not mean there isn't any out there that can't be incredibly difficult, I just personally don't think they are so bad to deal with, annoying sure but they are susceptible to locks too (unlike bs tidal on sins).

I don't mind db getting stronger , it's the sins (+ new condensed thorn) that are the most problem and I have to expend precious genie energy overloading tidal to even get a proc or two to happen (seeker vs casino gambling proc rates that are hard to guarantee even against non tidalers).

Just don't give db magic skills and I'm good with that lol cause that would be gg.
