are u honestly counting our barrage as movement skill(id rather have witches barrage backwards movement)? coz most of the time it moves you when u dont want it(over your opponent u r supposed to be finishing with the skill, missing all hits). (or vice versa)

We would not have to come to terms with it if less people were so quick to give up and accept that this is how things will always be.

barrage back movement requires casting other lightning skills before it to access. wiz barrage can move you from a stand still. 

hellfire is also protected movement that lets you engage without having to blow teleport

I am not saying it is amazing stuff, but the extra movement from barrage and hellfire, a kit that has more sa to prevent fast moving classes from just ignoring your slow animation locked protections(which is a major issue with awake witch and part of why she needs movement improvements to reposition her heavily fg focused kit), as well as the ability to grab block classes does put wizard in a significantly better spot.

If they made a significant amout of witch kit from fg into sa, and if they made it so barrage always moved and we had some way to deal with sa block classes like wizard grab, AND we had a protected engage that isn't either teleport or putting your back to a person and elementalization towards them.... we would be having a very different conversation.

PA has even openly admitted she is kinda terrible and gets rushed down and insta killed super easy. She is due for some changes.

It is unacceptable that the class be left in the state it is currently in.

we are not even playing the same game as this "modern" class that is good at moving, killing, staying alive, self healing, self PAing, grabbing, 3d terrain jumping, engaging, disengaging etc. ;) 

It is insane that so many other classes are allowed to function like this and we can't get a little movement protection.

At this point, they should just give us our mobile versions for both awake wiz and witch

The global labs changes do not go nearly far enough and we cannot for an instant let them think it does. These half measure changes are not good enough.

We need repositioning improvements that are actually impactful. 3 seconds is still far too long.

3 seconds is meaningless when so many classes have several short cooldown skills or no cooldown on their movement skills and can easily go behind frontals while we are locked in place because magic evasion is on cooldown

PA seems to really want awake witch to be a defender kind fo class, but she is unable to heal while doing so.

The lack of movement skills and the long cooldowns on the ones she does have make her unable to reposition her frontal guards.

Is very squishy and does not benefit from enhanced fg like shield classes even tho her shield is what was meant to set her apart from wizard.

Her kit is mostly slow frontal guards, making it very easy for the overwhelming majority of the roster to get behind her and cc.

She lacks any kind of response to shield classes, no grab or block break.

PA wants her to be a defender class, but refuses to give her the tools she needs.
