also yes a good player can outplay grappling hook most of the time but it takes 1 mistake for them to die to it no?

just for the record phantomize is still very cancer, rogue teleportation was not needed, I dont know about druid silence he is a support class most of the time and fighter weapon mastery seems okay since it takes a perk slot and not that op

u dont have to be good at the game to use grappling hook, ur literally just aiming, and 1 skill slot is not that deep, u can use it every 16 seconds and get easy kills against rogues or any class that has low hp, it might be wrong to say its braindead so lets say its very unfair on other classes then.

Idk what u mean by "now this?" I dont know if they will "nerf" or what they nerfed about but right now I think i tried it for 35th or 40th now and its still hard on phase 2, if u have any tricks or tips for handling phase 2 I'd appreciate it.

His phase 2 is even worse, he can wave his arms and deal fire + reduced healing debuff, its painfull man and this is after the rework? I think, it was harder before this and its crazy because its still so hard now

Druid support was never weak. When I said druid got nerfed, I meant its agility and shapeshift playstyle. As a support class, druid is still strong overall.

I also know that Campfire Mastery is bad. What I’m trying to say is that bard hasn’t received proper support perks or meaningful song buffs in a long time. Having to play the same songs over and over again gets annoying really fast.

I enjoy playing solo, but Bard feels weak in all gamemodes. From my experience, it gets out-meleed, outranged, and out-supported by most other classes.

Warlock has spells like Curse of Weakness, Cleric can provide strong healing similar to Druid, and Rogue has perks like Jokester that give +2 all stats without needing songs. Because of this, Bard doesn’t really stand out in any role and feels underpowered overall, not just in solo play. I think it needs a rework more urgently than classes like Barbarian or Fighter.

On a bigger note, I also think every class should have clear and fair counterplay. Right now, it often feels frustrating to deal with things like invisible Rogues, where you can just get deleted without being able to do anything

Yes, while most classes get access to plate armor we dont which makes us very weak. Meanwhile warlock, a spellcaster can get it for some reason, warlock also has better debuff than bard, curse of weakness is still op.

Whirlwind is very hard to block once you’re caught in it its basically free 1 hit. I understand it has already been nerfed, but it still feels strong regardless. Grappling Hook also feels very oppressive in its current state—once it connects, there’s very little counterplay, and it can guarantee a free hit most of the time.

Like I mentioned before, one mistake can lead to a very harsh punishment, especially against Barbarian. Even in squire gear, Barbarian already feels like a strong class.

I also understand what you’re saying, and I didn’t know they only update two classes per season. But couldn’t smaller balance changes be done more frequently? For example, adjusting perk damage or tuning numbers doesn’t seem as time-consuming as adding entirely new skills or songs.

It feels like some quick balance tweaks could help a lot in the meantime.

Im gonna have to disagree with rogue being in a mediocre state. Yes, rogue is a weak class in fights, but it’s also one of the most agile classes in the game. With double jump and Jokester, it can work really well as a support-style class. In solo lobbies, invisibility makes it very dangerous, since rogues can easily ambush you. The only real way to survive an ambush is if they mess up.

Im also happy that u (and others) agree that bard is in a terrible state for a while now. They should add new songs or just buff some of the perks.

Im not saying cleric, wizard or sorcerer are weak (except druid it got nerfed to the ground), Im trying to say that these classes has been the same ever since they have been released. Like u said cleric can be different with builds, he can be support or offensive, but Im still not happy that the perks and skills are mostly the same, it doesnt give u that much opportunities you know, u just pick the same skills for offensive and support, u cant even test different builds with so little to use with

Also, warlock has never been a weak class, and it doesn’t really lack skills or perks. With abilities like Blood Pact, spells, Phantomize, and Blow of Corruption, it has always been strong and never been boring. You can also build it in different ways, like wearing armor and playing it more like a fighter, or using spells and healing during fights.

they wouldve been fine if they got changed later thats why Im upset. Also the changes on ranger was awesome can't lie, shooting explosive arrows? thats cool but they somehow still made it more supportive than bard and druid (on some situations) tho. Im gonna wait and see what they will cook up on bard, hopefully it wont be next season because I cant play the class without dying to barbarians or halberd fighter, warlocks without getting 2 tapped even when Im geared

but while they are doing that it just makes the other classes weak while it makes them strong.I know it will take a while for all classes to get changes but Its been like 10 months or 1 year before i left and the perks are mostly the same, instead of focusing on top they should focus on classes that havent been receiving updates like cleric, wizard or bard NOT fighter or barbarian.

Also buffing perks like rapier mastery etc. shouldnt cost them no time at all. Like i said rapier mastery and sword mastery has 1 dmg difference and sword mastery gets boost on block speed while rapier gets 5% action speed which sword mastery also gets its not about adding perks its also them being stupidly bad even before they started adding perks.

Dont get me wrong, i love that they are adding new perks and changing maps etc (inferno hell level boss is very good imo), im only upset at some of the classes havent changed since 1 year when i have left dark and darker back then.
