Maybe a tactic for killing someone and adding a 2 second speed burst.

Doks don't need a snare remover, that would be too much.

Self heals, shield and having more melee upgrades would be crazy.

Kyo, you are great playing your dok and also wl. You would become OP 😄

I think doks and wp's are in a good spot. There are some really good players out there playing those classes

Thanks for the kind words, I think anyone can do well enough with a BiS DPS, the issue is, DPS DoK is miserable to play and has been reduced to a generic DPS with some serious drawbacks without the old benefits that justified those anymore. It struggles a lot in organized SCs or rvr vrs good people

Yeah a DPS that can heal can be useful and frustrating to deal with, but a DPS that has a pounce and a KD, or a pull inot a tank KD, stealth into KD, or can charge to get damage onto target and get that SH/SW killed quick is soooooooooooooooo much better/inpactful then a DPS that can take a big DPS lose to 'try' and save someone with rendsoul ha. And DPS DoKs damage is crap if people just clnse the armor debuff, the class is forced into phys damage but has no good way to get armor pent, so some on drowning blood will help it do some better damage when fighting competent players, atleast for the brief moments that super costly buff is up)

DoK/WP have M2 focused mind if you need great mobility. Any other dps dont have anything like that. Its wp/dok problem if they choose other m2 than FM. Also wp/dok have weapon with slow proc on being hit.

The game already has 16 dps classes to balance, and the efforts to balance those have been a complete mess. Trying to make healer off-specs competitive has just resulted in an even more imbalanced small scale environment, wasted dev time and no discernible benefit to the game.

Dps healer specs should be meme off specs that can be played by dedicated and skilled players, but aren’t top tier.

I suspect slayers and chopped would happily trade charge for self heals, cleanses, focused mind, ranged snare, full group cleanse, medium armor, full resists, an execute, hots, a rez, group bubble, etc, etc, etc.

All rDPS can use FM, aSW and mSH too...

Knowing how classes are now, they will buff shaman, squig, am, magus, engi and zealot, and nerf wp/dok, aSW slayer and WL.

Just reroll buffed ones. If it is nerfed again, reroll something else. This is only way to survive in range of reckoning.

Sadly you are correct, this is the way.

İn the past, it was possible to adapt by changing gear/builds etc. This is what ripped off by time.
Now there is only invincible and inescapable chars dominate the game.
