Now that we live server players finally get our hands on Drakania awakening we get her in a 10-25% nerfed PVE state?

The feedback from the test was that her PVE was lacking and her PVP was good but it seems like PA got it mixed up somewhere in the communication line. 

So the changes she went through before going live were PVP buffs and PVE nerfs which is the opposite of what she needed from player feedback. I just don't get it. The whole point of balance changes is to reduce the difference between "options" or classes but nerfing the average only increases the difference between the good and the great.

I don't know. They gutted the launch of a character without reasons. 

I came back for Drakania. I love everything about the class... except I have no option to grind pve with. I understand there's a tagging system. I don't want to play other classes. I guess we were asking too much. 

yes you do, you can grind on her, you are just to stubborn to get lower trash than play a class for the love of the game

The only ones stubborn here is the devs refusal of letting other classes besides Succession Striker or Succ Musa to be S tier at grinding.

Quite the opposite of you limit yourself to one class, it's actually a sign of stubbornness or fear. 

It's great that they reverted Drakania awk PVE nerfs on global labs tonight. However theres still some mediocre PVE classes that require that same treatment such as Succession Sage. The nerf to his ratios completely killed the class, looking at Garmoth dot Com self reported numbers people arent playing him anymore because of the ridiculously overkill nerfs you did in december. 

Its quite simple, pal. PA deliberately made the choice of nerfing an already mediocre class in PVE. Now please explain to me how that isn't already a huge waste of time for the person that made those changes, its a waste of time for the awk drakania players, its a waste of money for PA, everyone loses. When it comes to PVE nerfing, the only choice is to nerf the highest tier classes(succ musa, succ striker), nerfing any other class is literally just a waste of key strokes that could've instead been used to buff a mediocre class instead.

Awakening is underperforming compared to my DK and Guardian, and I have more AP now and another AP bracket. Guardian isn't even comparable to Striker.

The choice of just using two AoE to wipe out some mobs, or a bunch of skills that have TERRIBLE cohesion.

This class is just bad. Skills that cause knockback, when hexblood has small AoE. Bunch of skills that throw you forward that throw you out of position. Hexblood damage isn't bad, it's just inferior to other classes when you can choose to hit everything, or a half of a pack and waste time killing leftovers.  

Dragonblood skills are just bad(aside from her flamethrower). Why are the damage modifiers so pathetic? Sacrafice damage and speed for more AoE and you aren't gaining more protection out of it. The AoEs aren't even that good.

The next patch better make it good or I'm just shelving her. I honestly think succ performs better. The devs just did class reworks and massively buffed AoEs across classes, and return back to this garbage.

Self reported numbers are a horrendous metric to use.
