Please, stop buffing classes.

The game have never been this boring, with most classes being fully protected with a few selected classes having just a slight better tier of protection (more iframes) and trade damage.

There is nothing wrong with something being hard to learn. There is nothing interesting in mindlessly pressing 123 and never have the risk of getting caught. 

Between fully protected classes and full 6dr/evasion crystal builds, i have never been this bored doing pvp.

And as far as my class goes, thank you so much for destroying awakening warrior identity as a class. Was one of the last few classes that resembled what we once had, gaps, opportunities to win while having opportunities to fail. Which is perfectly fine.

Start nerfing classes that are simply too overtuned.

Thank you so much for not listening to this feedback.

Come on is not that bad, positioning still matter and awak warrior needed the new SA because it can't circle around well without doing lot of camera work and effort.
The skill ceiling is still quite high because you have to be careful when pressuring, awk heals are still unportected and the animation are clearly well visible to the opponent on this class.
It still takes a lot of effort compared to some others, does not have a slow down debuff nor a ranged grab and still a tiny iframe.
If you are too greedy your hp will be gone in no time.
Not much extra bleeding too to chip down tanks.
It still relies heavily on the dash grab and the protected aoe kd, it can be predictable if used without thinking.

Is def more fun to play without fighting your own keyboard too on top of opponents.

I 100% agree on some other classes nerf.

Glad to see there's still decent PvP players that recognise this catastrophic trend. 

2018 style nerfs is what we need. Stop the power creep.

While the amount of protections being too much on most, if not all classes (orther classes simply overperforming), advocating for nerfs across the board won't solve the problems.

As new classes get released there are sometimes new playstyles and/or mechanics or new ways to build it.

Players struggle to adapt to the new additions always in the beginning.

As I have said earlier indirectly, time goes on and new playstyles come not just in BDO, but in any game in general.

Changes are bound to happen.

True balance does not exist, but metashifting.

What the post is mostly preaching about and one other reply is described with one word - stagnation.
