How is the state of WL?

[JoshLJustice]

I never really played a white lion back on live War, How are they in RoR?
I've mainly been playing destruction classes but I really want an order main as well and white lions look really fun.
Are there any bugs or anything of that sort I should know about?

[Coryphaus]

they are simultaneously both up and op

they are the weakest of all mdps late game because thier trees are a mess and they have no incomming heal debuff like all other mdps and are hence not popular in grps and also have to deal with dumb as **** pet ai

having said that, they do have access to pounce which is one of the most bullshit abilities in the game and have one of the largets melee bursts in the game

th plan for the class is that once the devs start balancing classes once we reach t4, the plan is to buff wl by making changes to tree organization and changing some abilities around

You never let me down Coryphaus, I'll probably play around with it, and see how it does. If I enjoy it, I'll stick with it.
From what I've seen the pet AI is HORRIBLE, and the WL's tend to be a little squishy from what I can already tell. Hopefully that changed as I move up through the Tiers

[Coryphaus]

they are squishy but pounce is both a gap closer and an escape mechanism

jump in, if things go bad, you can just jump out get healed up and then go back in

[JoshLJustice]

I'll keep that in mind, Are WL's super reliant on their pet? Mine seems to die instantly as I'm engaging. It's proven useless so for lol

[Coryphaus]

Unfortunatly yes

[JoshLJustice]

Setting it on passive seems to help, After attacking an enemy and disengaging it doesn't run around rampant trying to kill anything it's near.

My personel opinion is WL state is game breaking right now. During keep siege I get killed many times on top of the keep(merchants floor) when trying to defending keep when WL jump on walls than jump on me, passing all keep defences including door, npcs and destro melees.
Destro side has nothing to counter this siege tactic( Few WLs jump on walls melt all ranged and healers while order can attack doors unharmed).

[Coryphaus]

the fact that defensive knocks backs have no effect on them either is also rather annoying
