BDO has the worst implementation of grab mechanic (Overpopulated with grab classes, no counter whatsoever)

Striker proceeds to grab, i get jumped> pops esc 5 seconds later the same striker grabs me. -----_______-----

This game doesn't understand how broken a grab is in a 3v3 setup... you get grab 80% of time you will die, unless you escape it . There needs to be a second escape for grab specifically.

Some class needs to cc a target first before they can grab.

Some class needs longer cd on grabs.

some class need to have grab removed entirely.

Some class liker zerker need to have kd or cc after grab removed ....holding me for seconds then down me for a few more is broken

Grab needs to be class specific instead of spec, if i see a class i have to figure how which spec hes playing to know if hes gonna grab me or not which is pretty dumb. I want to know before hand if i should look out for the grab. With all these class changes and blance you would thing something is put in place for balance how grab carried some classes are. That tamer class that grabs and proceeds to 100- 0 in 1 combo all by them self. The game fail to realize that once you get grab that opens you up to get cc so regardless if she grabs and throws you instantly your on the ground prone to cc and more damage.

Grab in this game needs to be earned instead of run away and run up to grab.

Grab in this game is way too easy for the benefits it gives.

Mind you the top is infested with grab classes and from 10-20 its mostly grab classes as well. Grabh classes have a major advantage in this game and its very unfair .

Yes it is and pretty much people dont like grab. If your class  doesn't have grab and is  not broken, like awk maegu  for example, then you don't have  any possibility to kill your enemy.  Your enemy can even play worse than you,  just one mistake when you didn't dodge grab and you will die. But if your enemy miss grab, he will run and jump around in sa/fg and wait for the next grab. This is very stupid mechanics. For some classes you even don't have good iframes to dodge grabs....

1. Resistance.
2. Vacuum
3. Grab 

I hate these things so much.   The only thing - Vacuum could be fine every 3-5 minutes, but not every fight...

As a class that can i-frame cancel from almost any skill anytime.

Having to see your character getting grabbed in i-frame over and over and over again is redicouls...

You can basicly do a coin flip, half the time grabs beat i-frame.

PvP balance has a long list of problems and grabs are one of them.

they made it so u can dash to dodge the grab yet when i do , am pulled from a mile away into the grab.

Grab is a cheap escuse for pvp mechanics.

If they land a successful grab double or triple the cd. You have ppl that just queue on 3 grab classes cause the list is long and just run you down whole fight trying to grab every 5 sec. This game balance would be better off he they fix the dumb grab system and remove half the grab from classes that don't need it .\

Comboing someone while they spam the grab button and instant grab you the moment they out of cc thatsn how brain dead the grab is. Sage is a living example how brain dead grab is a range class with big damage and a range grab anybody who came up with that idea either mashing buttons are doesn't play the game.

telports 50 placesn on the map , somehow hes behind u out of nowhere grabs into a full on combo.

Grab needs to be punishable as a trade off for the benefits.

I was very bored yesterday afternoon, so I started making possible CC chains I could do with Ninja. After coming up with around 50 possible combinations (yeah, I was that bored), I looked at the ceiling and thought to myself, why do I even bother with this? Half the classes in this game just breathe Super Armors  yours included. The only option is to grab them. All those combinations I thought of are completely useless.

This game doesn't understand how broken a grab being in SA all the time is.

Classes like yours and many others are the reason why grabs are obligatory in this game they are practically the only option, that or having so much damage that you can kill someone standing.

I could understand the complaint coming from other classes, but not from a Dosa. Not only does the class breathe Super Armors, it also has I-frame options and good mobility (on both specs). You have plenty of ways to deal with grabs.

A class having alot of SA doesn't mean grab classes need grab on 5 - 8  sec cds  , when you need just one to 100-0.

you have classes that can grab probably 6 times in a min given the chance. Which is why the cds need to increase and remove for some classes because majority of the classes don't need a grab. For examples : SAGE , TAMER, NINJA  - (am still kinda new to game) these classes have some serious damage and some have high hitrate.  Zerker / Striker  - Increase the grab cds , for zerker - remove the cc after the grab. Running around and grabbing is the only thing i see zerker do, no problem if thats the playstyle of the class but after the grab your gonna throw me to the ground for another 5 second...now cmon
