There is no way that you can play awakening wizard in pvp as he is right now.He is just a f@king garbage class with long animations , mediocre to low damage and 0 mobility.

Why im not allowed to play awakening mode pvp in a decent manner?

Why PearlAbyss doesn't take any action when players provided feedback for the last 4 month's ?

Why wizard have so long animations and mediocre damage while other classes can do 3 skills in the same amount of time while im casting ,and 2 or 3 times bigger damage than me ?

Why i have only 1 movement skill with 7 seconds coldown and other classes can outrun a horse tier 8 or spamming iframe for more than 10 sec ?

How im supposed to siege with this class when i have only 1 skill for engage and disengage in a battle ?

Protected Area was nerfed because you listen all the crap players who said the siege is all around Protected Area but now is after 100%/200% bsr Berserker and Valk.

Protected Area +999DP was vital for wizard/witch awakening so you coud use teleport in a fight dps while cooldown and get out after.

Because of the long skill animation's of this class we take absurd damage and debuffs while casting.I can prove you other classes with same gear can kill while im casting 1 skill called bolide.

Why PearlAbyss doesn't want to see the reality with this class ?

Day by day we get more and more fustrated that we cannot play this class in a decent manner and probably we will quit.

PS :Dont start with the shit change class or spectre because me and many other's stay in this game for only this class.

it does have a stamina cost, altho i agree it shouldnt ever have 0 sec cooldown.

7 seconds tho is also super high. should be at least a second or 2 lower for awakening spec. also, elementalization NEEDs to be iframe.

the points op makes are actualy on point. class is subpar even on (especially on, if compared to other classes) true endgame gear. it is immobile, with low damage mitigation msot of the time, and has very easy to coutner palystyle. even in alrgescale it dies super fast due to lack of mitigation and movement. it is basically melee class like guardian but with way less options in melee range and way less tankiness. also, all classes thats its supposed to slug it out with in melee have way bigger mobiltiy and tankiness plus grabs on top. on range its heavily outclasses by other range classes. its absoutely subpar compared to succcession and it needs babysitting and playing around in pvp to even work semi properly without high frustration.

Atleast Wizard has grab... witch has only mediocre shield that blown away with 50% of skill dmg of any new class. So as awaken wizard is garbage class in pvp I guess that makes awaken witch Super Garbage Class. :( 

When will PA look into awaken mages??? Class reboot they just did is hilariously bad for mages and helped only to point out that awaken mages in PvP are only there for party utility and give frags to other classes.

slow unprotected grab with quite low range (sometimes doenst even connect after hellfire, which its supposed to combo off of) on a class that cant properly reposition to use it optimally isnt really that great sadly. witches block at least give resistance and regens mana which wizard doesnt have, for example, and its way beter in group fights than grab u wont ever or will barely use.

Any awa witch doing any amount of pvp would trade their block to wiz grab if they could. Even if it is a bad grab, it still gives you that little chance of actually winning some 1v1s at similar gs. But obviously grab or no, that's not a fix for awaken mages at all. We need big buffs if this class is ever going to be viable, even now it's on life-support for how many ppl actually pvps as awa mage. Soon there will be none and all the blame goes to Pearl Abyss developers for not giving a shit about awa mages while chasing the new shiney shit succession or new class to drain fotm rerollers $$$. I guess only thing to hope for is that once all awa mages are gone and there is a lull before next new class they'll give awa mages the buffs they needed over year ago so fotm rerollers will roll mages. 

As I said in another post - Awa is useless in pve, too !!!

This rework has only created a new bank char - thats all. And this class was my main char bevor rework !!!

Now I´m grinding with ranger and nova - just a question of time when they nerv them into the ground, too !!!

I would be happy to play this class again - without reboot !!!

Still pvps with awake witch. Still grinds with her. I do not have an issue actually
