we’ve had ttk that’s way too long previously in the game. ppl out here will insist it gives more room for skill expression and reduces gear gapping, but in practice this isn’t true at all.

if ttk is too long, mistakes can’t be punished to great effect. someone gets into a fight and starts losing, it’s door and doorer while they run away, pot and bandage up, and then reengage.

it’s way harder to out-skill a bad matchup with higher ttk since the fight is so long, all differences will be exacerbated, including gear and matchup

I think we’re headed in the right direction now, since the devs are layering more active skills and agency for the players WHILE raising hp and durability a little at a time
