Physical rDPS M2 Unshakeable Focus

[Stinkyweed]

Are there learnings, or a path forward, for the physical rDPS M2 Unshakeable Focus removal based on performance and community feedback?

What i learned; UF M2 was removed

And yet SH, SW and Engie are still all remain top tier rDPS and rDPS continue to dominate the game

Maybe they dont need it after all

Spoiler:

TenTon will always sing this beautiful "Rdps biased" song Something still hurts and never changes

UF removal, defenses changes - I feel like it's a part of a big plan on rdps "meta". I hope nerfs won't go too far
Anyway SH and maybe SW will get some reworks with client control for their melee trees, but for Engis... I can't predict anything for them tbh. Today you need only one with a rift for WB (same situation with magis). At least they can take the spot of support dps (just press one button and your job is done ).

Eh; all their burst damage took a real hit. If you're in a group then none of them should be able to bring you down via ST (unless its an engi snipe train; which for some reason is popular) because with guard + detaunt even Fester is only gonna hit you for like 400 crit which is laughable for a 3s cast with no resistance.

I won't lie, its not nearly as big of a deal as I thought it would be when they removed it, but unless new changes are made to fill in the gap (and not the same extremes of UF) the PRDPS will continue to struggle to kill meaningful targets/players/groups (you can still kill PUGs easily enough however) and only SW really shines as a support/secondary DPS in group play.

Even with UF and Eye Shot, SW's weren't close to being an oppressive class. Now this class sucks even more, GG.

Well they're trying to fight Malekiths evil reign of terror so it would be pretty counterintuitive if they were an oppressive force...
