About sage nerfs, no idea as I dont really bother with patch notes. I just adapt.

"Bursty pvp" realistically, it depends heavily on gearboxes. Some people are just going to one shot you because they have that much gear on you. Generally speaking, with well balanced gear between the both of you, you'll have to perform combos on them. 

bsr skills, the 10/25/50 generally looks very similar to the non bsr, with some black smoke/energy effects. Give it time, you'll see come to see why its maybe not such a good idea.

Slotting skills, overall slotting skills costs more "resource"

Putting that aside, some skills should be slotted, others should not. For instance, on Musa, putting projection on your hotbar allows you to instantly swap from pre to awakened. This is also true of dash slash and I believe one step back. On the other hand, for valk, if I hotbar and use shield throw from HB, it won't come out as fast as if id used it from key combo. So you either 1) have to play with the skills and find out yourself or 2) visit your local class discord and dig around to find out useful hotbar skills.

Yeah, they have a line saying that... but in reality that is bugged since it exits, and even if it would be not, it's not like you could just endlessy drink potions?

You also forgot to mention that in bdo literally every second ability also have protection and good players can avoid cc's for a long time (also depends on class for both cc and protection) so cc to protection ratio in is balanced, actually there are more protections.

But i do agree desync sucks

The number of protections are too high that's true, but there is IWIN cc that ignores them, and FG is glichy af, and it's not like the mayority of the classes could just walk through the other player to hit it from behind, and if we are talking about SA, there are classes which got it, and there are ones who don't hence suck.

Well my class didn't got not even a single ability to recover HP apart from potions, but leaving that aside, the reason behind the one cc death design is the mobility creep. If you can't kill your enemy in cc, he simply runs away (and heal back).

They not gonna change the mobility creep, so neither the cc->death either(so neither the damage), but they could reduce the numebr of cc's and protections some of the classes have.

At leat the AOE cc need to be toned down. An ability which can cc whole group of palyers should have high cast/animation time, and need to be unprotected to give counterplay.

Well on 6k hp potions don't even heal 5% hp. They have only 2s so around 40s to heal full. That ain't seem too fast for recovery.

(Yeah you have the expensive potion too, and they heal more in cc.)

Some classes have abilities to heal without doing damage, but not many. They could be adjusted if they are an issue.

I don't think adding more wound would improve the game, as it's bad enough already waiting to get full HP back on rbf. Waiting out the wound would be even worse.

They could add mortal strike effect (like in wow) that would reduce healing while the debuuff last, like 50% for 5s, if they think in combat health regen is an issue, so others could not just regen in your face.

So, now that i got to awakening and succession, i must say that i was somewhat disappointed by the fact that you cannot use both at the same time, i was under the impression you could, as i also see no reason not to make it possible honestly.

The awakening is definitely cooler then, because it offers you basically a different playstile, new animations etc, still banger combat, but i was somewhat disappointed by that.

Also, why no instanced group content? THta's one thing that seems really ridiculous to me about bdo.

Thanks for the answers by the way.

Swapping between awakening and pre awakening skills is pretty important for most classes. You do need a lot of skill points to experience your full kit unlocked thou.
