I have similiar experience. Maybe it's just lags or low fps (my PC was in the same age as WAR is), but many time using glass arrow to unmount enemy it's just fail (lost LoS or just not work - no gcd and skill is active once more) or knockdown effect is 1-2s delayed to dmg from eye shot (and many time target just run away by postern etc.). I'm not sure but for example flight time of FtW was horribly long or it's just skill animation, but it's look like ages to reach target.saupreusse wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2019 3:27 pm The flight times of some skills are horribly low and the self punt reacts with a 1 second delay.

I'm really curious it's just my experience or every SW have the same.
+1000 to all your points. That broadhead arrow takes ages to apply. Or for you to see if it was dodged. By the time you see it dodged you already have moved to the next part of your skill rotationsaupreusse wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2019 3:27 pm I can say confidently that without a better way to deal with medium to high armor targets sw will continue to get worse with every new set introduced. (Same might be the case for ranged squigger who suffered from it aswell but im not sure how it is nowadays because i havent played sh in ages.) the other very annoying thing is the extreme unresponsiveness of sw abilities which was also present on live to some extend and makes the class feel clunky af compared to all? the other classes. The flight times of some skills are horribly low and the self punt reacts with a 1 second delay.
Haha omg you either only play on a melee train for all your life or you are just trolling us.BeautfulToad wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2019 3:54 pm If Shadow Warrior feels weak its because the order ranged classes are so strong. Any buffs to Shadow Warrior has to be compared to the ranged options order has; White Lion, Bright Wizard, and Engineer. Engineer can root players to the spot, and disarm them. White Lion can knock down an enemy and send them flying back to their lines (with a pet that can outrun you and has no practical range limit).
For destruction, I think the only(?) sniping option is Squig Herder, and I think it can only slow an enemy.
Ignoring the Bright Wizard AoE stuff, all of them can be solo'd by a single white lion AI spawn if they are spec'd to do maximum ranged damage.jasonX wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 12:37 amHaha omg you either only play on a melee train for all your life or you are just trolling us.BeautfulToad wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2019 3:54 pm If Shadow Warrior feels weak its because the order ranged classes are so strong.

Maguses got the same skills as engis.
Sorcs singletarget stronger than BWs
Squigs now hit harder than SWs ranged and have a very strong melee with tons of cc resilience and good dmg.
