I would suggest adding atleast "super armor" to crimson fang combo, and "full forward guard" for for adamantine combos. That way the class could be atleast playable in the full "super armor" meta we have atm, with every class being in full "super armor" and striker having basically one protected damage skill. Sustain should be good enough as it is, but the class just lacks protected dmg. This new global lab patch note was my final tick, since they are buffing awakening striker dmg, aka they are literally trying to make awakening even do more dmg in pve compared to succession counterpart, which might I add was the only thing he is better at in succession. I've been sitting and waiting through balance patch after balance patch, for far too long now, there are some minor tweaks here an there but simply those wont cut it. Succession striker is dead, and it wont be revived, it's really demotivating to just wait and wait and wait for your favorite class to be playable, but no. Sorceress get more buffs when she was S tier already in PvE. At this point I might just go play other games, since nothing gets done here.
Succ striker need some changes to be fuctional in pvp for sure, I haven't seen one on a pvp setting in ages, the only thing it has for himself is damage but it is horrible in everything else.
