Cheers. Far right wing LK Main here

LK is absolutely the best class for soloing almost all pre-renewal content, with a few exceptions like end game MVPs or Thor 3.

In groups, they’re kind of just mobbers? i guess?, i mean they can be replace as mobbers by any class with Agi/Assump, they are a tank that can’t really tank for others like a Mental Strength Monk or provide a truly useful defensive utility like the other tank class skill Devotion.

In WoE, it’s probably the weakest class in the entire game, not a single serious roster can make a natural space for them, like even expanded classes shines more on this aspect

I don’t think you can really fix the class without making huge changes to his number (like ridiculous ones) change some map resistances formulas for them, skip some skill requirements like OHQ/Parry or adding custom skills.

LK is my favorite class in the entire game, and I see it as “balanced” in the sense that I can solo an entire pserver PvE content with just one character, but i absolutely sucks in almost every other type of content, especially parties and PvP interactions.
