Hello Black Desert Team,

I'm reposting this in the feedback section, since that's a requirement to be moved to the new Adventurer Feeback Board. The original post recieved over 1800 views and 50 likes. I've also recieved tons of support over discord and ingame from the Witch community that I've cultivated through my youtube channel, and I even got an endorsement from the NA Godlike witch.

The original post was made before the change was released to the NA server. Since then, I have had a chance to further test the change and practice with it. I have been trying my best to make it it work in PvP but the difference is striking. The smallscale potential feels completely stifled and the class feels much less flexible. Most importantly, its simply not as fun.

I urge the developers to consider our feedback and revert this harmful change.

Thanks,

Belly

Here is the text of the original post once again:

The most recent Global Labs patch introduced a highly problematic change for Succession Witch.

Change: Magical Evasion movement lost Super Armor and instead we get Split Teleport. 

Succession witch is designed to work with Magical Evasion. Our passive allows us to pocket skills with ME. Our rabam skill (lightning) encourages use of ME. Our earthquake which cannot be canceled like wizard's  requires ME to cancel. Our lower base stats require ME for better trading positioning. Basically, a protected Magical Evasion is  necessary for our kit to function properly.

This change also makes Witch and Wizard too similar. Witch and Wizard passives give them different playstyles, Wizard being a turret and Witch being a skirmisher. People who prefer split teleport can already go play wizard, so why are we forcing people who like the skirmisher playstyle to switch. This is ruining the class identity of witch and just making her a female wizard. This is undoing all of the progress that Witch had over the past couple years of developing its unique identity. We are put back to day 1 of succession launch when witch is a joke only played for PvE.

Please devs I beg that you do not see this change through, it would deeply sadden me to see my class lose what makes it special. Magical evasion is like Chase for Musa, Alert Stance for Ninja, the glue that holds the class together and defines its fighting style.

If you insist that Witch needs changes, I would suggest giving Magical Evasion a partial iframe or equalizing our base stats to wizards.
