I felt it 2 days in row now.

I dont know how many hours i got at darkseekers but i have 186 kabua fragments.

I never had to dodge as soon as i do now at night.

Something changed, today i almost died, never happened in all my time in darkseekers and i even gained 27all ap last week.

Can it be that fg and SA is somehow shorter and less effective somehow?

I noticed that i lose my FG pretty often now and i just do my normal rotation i didnt change anything after patch.

edit: i noticed that my pet started to die (or disappear i space out to monitor its hp each pack) it never did b4, i notice when my dmg downs hard.

Any1 noticed the same?

You are not alone! awa witch doesn't feel that tanky in PvE as it felt before. I think it's due to being over all slow casting class, and half of her skills are FG which gets broken so easily like it would be night all the time (414 DP here)

My test grindspot was Tungrad Ruins, before patch awa witch felt slow but steady there, rather a chill grind, very occasionally needed big or any heal at all.  I did grind there as well on succ maegu, she felt better for mobility and speed of casting skills but more squishy than witch before the update on 19th.  Both have evasion Ator's and damage reduction Dahn's.

After the update, I tried grinding there in my old gear set up. Awa witch felt like nani da fuq, with eva shoes and dr gloves she's been taking so much dmg like it would be night all the time. FG broken so easily it felt weird af. With succ maegu in same set up she felt better cos they fixed her accuracy problem, tho she still was very squishy, and I died so many times like never previously there, over dozen of grinded hours on both of classes.

After swapping to dr Ator's, witch gained a bit more tankiness, but it still felt awkward, considering that I had to use ocassionaly Q to buff dr. I don't mind smashing more skills on my keyboard to try to up my gameplay skills - I have a problem tho when I get stuck in random, non skill animations which I cannot cancel and take damage meanwhile, witch felt way too slow and annoying at this point compared to how she was before.

I swapped to succ maegu and did another hours with dr shoes.  Strangely, being able to cast more skills with SA quickier and using maybe just 1 skill with fg during 7-8 skills combo, made me completely ok to survive like almost no effort. Felt much tankier than awa witch even tho maegu doesn't really have this many healing skills to escape in spicy dmg moments xD

I think that they seriously messed up relations between speed of animation when casting skills x skill hit amount x health sustain on skills x SA > FG  being better for survival, which results that classes with more SA and faster playing pace seem to be stronger xD On top I just felt like some skills don't take input and don't cast even if they are off cd.

They mainly introduced this patch to balance PvP, nerf eva so people dont go immortal mode, and that fights are not any more 1 hit to kill.
The result is completely overthrown and unbalanced PvP and PvE got affected lot's too, because of certain fg & sa buffs, some classes became even more tankier and immortal than they were previously with evasion meme build :P

Grinding on arsha is a meme now too xD

 feeling the same, based on monster zone info i have arround 530 DR.. i die at elvia nagas if i am not carefull lol..

We got DR for free, but they also buffed all Monsters AP.. (we dont know by how much) ..
