No really, not only is every memeber of the class a walking oneshot thanks to the SPAM of rank 8/9. Not only have we been trumped in pve by sins TW by DD's.

But now you've removed cancle casting? The only remaining skill based factor of the bm class? The only thing allowign Bm's to actually KILL targets in 1v1 pvp or keep up with ARCHERS AND BARBS in pve with our own weapon? God thats not even funny.

All this and theres not even a note in the patch?

edit: A GM response on this would be nice. Cutting out the main trump card of a well balanced class without so much as a word of warning is just a kick in the balls.

Note original title was far more offensive and crass than the current one. Hey mods if you can edit my posts why not give us a reply eh?

    I was kinda happy sins couldn't glitch anymore.. any little nerf would help, but it is kinda lame that bms get the real short end of the stick.

    If you relied on a known exploit as canceling skills (bannable by the way) you fail.

    More or less we're gotten the short end of the stick on every "change" ever

    Cheap rank 8, nuff said

    Cheap rank 9, and the worst rank 9 in game on bm's

    Tideborn, heres 2 classes, one of them will do your job better than you in pve and be the most godly map pvp class in game, the other will be killable by every class BUT yours in 1v1 pvp.

    killing a sin like you.. not really a problem. A sin that knows the class.. I'd have a better chance jumping off a cliff and having aliens swoop down to save me on their UFO and dropping me off at my house with a winning lotto ticket than killing a good sin.

    if it were bannable, i'd think all the non-re*arded sins would have been banned long ago.

    lmao killing a sin like me? Cause you know my style of playing perfectly well from a completely different server that you can claim im an easy kill. Why so much QQing that sins are OP if i'm not a problem? b:laugh

    I can say the same things about clerics.

    Genies- Oh hey, look...now people have more means to get out of sleep.
    Tideborn- Oh hey, look....a class that can solo practically everything, who needs clerics anyway?
    Eearthguard- Oh hey, look.....a second kind of cleric with minions, so they don't get hit. Ohhh and they also like to annoy clerics by butting in their heals (nothing next to cleric heals still) instead of dding and makes us feel like we aren't doing our job correctly. I don't wanna share my job with another class.
    Aps- Oh hey, look.... now all melee classes apart from seekers get aps, now they can boost next to us and hax (thanks to deleting our sleep). If you want to win, you have to be really careful against melee classes now.

    I'm pretty sure there would be more..

    It doesn't take long talking to someone to figure out how knowledgeable they are about something. Sorry to break it to you, but you just ain't the sharpest crayon in the box when it comes to sins if you know what I mean. b:bye

    I know I am not adding much to the conversation, but I do completely agree with what josh said above.

    Blademasters have gotten the short end of the stick with a lot of the updates. (Though I don't glitch and cancel all the skills coming in at me.) They are still by far my favorite class to play, however, I have the most rants about them, and could probably rant all day and night about them.

    EDIT: Clerics are still wanted/welcomed in a lot of squads, regardless of their gear. <3

    Though it is indeed sad that people base skill level upon what gear you are wearing, and tend to only invite you if you have major aps. really kind of sucks for wizard, psy, veno classes. Still not sure if people are shunning seekers/mystics because of sucky damage output or just because they are still unsure what earthguards can do. =x

    Exactly. When people have problems with sins, it's obviously not sin vs sin. Try playing the other classes and fight a sin that knows what their doing. Also she ment sharpest, why brightest crayon? two different ways to say a saying.

    But yeah, it's not the end of the world but dbb without the 2 sparks was nice :(.

    Yeah i agree. And you can tell a sin knows what they are doing when the don't stand out in stealth all day and can kill sins that pop up on them. It can actually be easier to kill a sin that pops up on you rather than popping up on another if you know exactly what you're doing. and the only way i've heard it is Brightest crayon in the box, or sharpest tool in the shed..... sharpest pencil.. etc. never really needed a sharp crayon as a kid xD

    I actually meant exactly what I said. If you knew your class so well, you'd laugh at the thought of someone using expel against you.. any half brain dead monkey could figure out how to use the ridiculous arsenal of skills a sin has to deal with a few seconds of physical immunity. But seriously, if you lose to wizards 1v1.. you cannot sit there with a straight face and tell me you know your class.

    Now you're just making yourself and your class look bad by saying there are wizzys incapable of killing sins. yeah sins have a huge advantage over a wiz, doesn't mean it's not impossible like you're making it seem. a wiz that actually knows what they are doing and know the assassin class well and how they pvp can take out a sin. It's that simple. It's not impossible to kill a sin. and yeah iv'e died to a powerful and skillful wizzy before. but then again, who hasn't? I'm not butthurt or crying about it, it's just pvp. If you have common sense and knowledge of how sins react to your skills, then you should have a chance at killing them.

    Well then saying "the brightest crayon the the box" is suggesting that the bright colours are better than the darker ones which is not true. So that doesn't work.

    oh and no offence but seriously, if a sin can't kill a wizard then... :/ they're like fishies favourite food! but anyway, this thread is getting off topic.

    barbs

    <- dysgraphic lacking a spell check and no longer cares enough about the game to go back and fix the 1000 errors in anything i type ever.

    and yes archers can use berserker fists with a far higher critrate, or just use full rank 9 armor to hit rank 9 (for barbs and archers) w/o CC archers are about 5% behind bm's and barbs are about 2% ahead with the same weapon. Counting archers ability to use higher damage fists at 5 aps and attack levels on the barbs both classes out DD BM's without CC

    Oh so it's cool that sins have a "huge advantage" over wizards as long as there is a fraction of a chance the wizard could win. I mean the sin could miss with a control skill, could dc in the middle of a fight, tidal could magically never resist anything.. sure I'm loving my odds. You've changed your story from sins are balanced to "its not as bad as you make it sound". Please.

    Like i said, i never said sins were balanced. I'm saying with the right technique, you can take down a sin. ANY skilled wizzy knows this. Which is probably why you don't...
