Frustration with Witch vs. Wizard Balance in BDO

Hey fellow adventurers,

I’ve been playing as a Wizard in Black Desert Online for quite some time now, and I wanted to share my thoughts on the recent patches that seem to favor Witches over Wizards.

It’s becoming increasingly evident that Witches have received some significant buffs that make their gameplay feel more fluid and rewarding. They have:

  1. Higher Damage Output: It seems like Witches can burst down enemies with much less effort, especially in both PvE and PvP scenarios. As a Wizard, I often feel like my damage just doesn’t compare, despite the effort I put in.

  2. Better Protection: Witches seem to have an easier time staying alive with their defensive abilities. Meanwhile, Wizards feel more vulnerable, and it can be frustrating to get taken down quickly, especially in PvP situations.

  3. Ease of Play: The learning curve for Witches feels much less steep. I’ve noticed that many newer players are opting for Witches due to their accessibility, which can make the Wizard class feel less appealing in comparison.

I love playing as a Wizard and appreciate the complexity of the class, but I can’t help but feel like the balance is off right now. I believe both classes should be fun and competitive without one overshadowing the other.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Have any other Wizards felt this way? What changes would you like to see to bring more balance between the two classes?

Let’s keep this discussion constructive!

Thanks for reading!

I'm being serious guys.. I don't want reroll to a witch, when caster is supposed to be equal to each other, this is frustrating and no matter how many tickets I submit.. J and PA doesn't care.. cause they're just striker mains and I wish that call would get uninstall.. But J is every one overlord.. and this post probably wont last long.

You clearly have no idea how to play warrior, if you think that this is the state of the class.

The Dosa PVP looked like complete trash.  A horrible cheese fest in which you would be expected to have a 10-1 win ratio at minimum due to the absurdity.  The constant protections with more iframes backed up with more mobility and cheap lahn tactics is painful to watch.

If you want to PVP that bad go to T&L.  They are running 15x the player base right now with a sub par game.  Take away the log in rewards/afk players and maybe 80x.

What happened? Awakening Wizard is so much weaker and worse than Witch in every way. Awakening witch is worse than Awakening Dosa in everyway? Is any balancing happening?
