Hello, this is Greeds. Some here may recognize me for the Ranger guide I posted not too long ago on the forums. I am Greeds, a long-time Awakening Ranger and one of the last ones who use her in Node War and Siege at the high-end PvP. 

I am a big class optimist, despite the prior nerfs I have found the ability to top page or at least go very positive most wars and sieges on this class as well as make #1 Ranger in AoS for NA even with my severe ping and internet issues. With this being said the changes introduced in the March 21st Global Labs patch notes will either severely hurt or kill the class. Most specifically this change to Breezy Blade. 

Breezy Blade is our ONLY way to regenerate stamina consistently. Our only other ways to regenerate stamina in super armor is with a 20 second skill enhancement cd and our core skill of choice. Ranger is one of the few classes that has all her super armor skills use stamina making a lot of her safer combos very taxing on her stamina bar. By locking the stamina on this skill we are forced to use c swap, s block, and shotgun which are all frontal guards to regen stamina at all. With the existence of classes like Awakening Sorceress that function quite similarly but have super armor trade skills like Grim Reaper's Judgment, Swirling Darkness, Soul Reaper and more, or classes like Succession Maegu that can use any of her Super Armor to regenerate stamina (both are being brought up as they were either nerfed recently or nerfed plenty of times). It feels incredibly out of date to force any class as slow as Awakening Ranger to lose the ability to regenerate stam as our class identity was a slow cqc assassin. I would prefer to lose the iframe and all properties introduced here in favor of current Breezy Blade and I think the few active Awakening Rangers left active on NA will agree with me. 

TLDR: Do not implement these changes on Breezy Blade or scrap the patch as a whole for Awakening Ranger as it does not improve on any of her current flaws.

SCRAP THE PATCH AS A WHOLE

These changes definitely don't make any sense. Breezy blade change alone is ridiculous! The camera locking they've been randomly throwing out on skills HAS TO STOP immediately. It ruins the flow of many skills and should never be forced and just be an optional keybindable function in the settings.

I'm really scared of more class changes like this. Completely out of touch and proves PA doesn't log in to the game ever and no one tests anything in house. They just put it on global and send it live, no thought process.

There needs to a separate feedback center for EACH class that's ACTUALLY monitored with the design teams of that class. (if they even have one) The forums here are filled with many posts that never see the light of day, most of them very constructive and not even "buff me moar make me op" type of stuff. People are gonna quit the game if they just keep ego balancing everything as if they are the ones that know anything (lol)

Can we petition PA to leave our game alone?

All they ever do is break it......
