The title says it all, after multiple patches beating DK until it was lifeless and unresponsive, ZOS finally said they'd focus on class identity, especially DK's.
Glad they came out around the other side of their comment and decided to nerf DK's into one of the most useless and over nerfed class in ESO history.
When you are focusing on identity within DK, it's not very logical to take away all the firepower it has behind DOT's. I'm not saying DOT's should be overpowered, but let them remain in a position of power to have the upper hand when it comes to dots compared to Soul Trap and Entropy. Where is the sustain being overtuned for DK's? You keep raising the cost and compensating them nothing in return. Remember the mindset you guys once had, if you nerf something u gotta compensate it back somehow 1 way or the other. Dk's haven't gotten compensated for any of these nerfs for several patches.
![:o]( ":o")
The idea is simply gone, everything beautiful that used to be a good touch for DK's is gone. The damage, the potential, is now nothingness.
DK's are officially the biggest stall, with no potential to really contain/pressure/CC players as a Templar with such a powerful identity can do beyond that. Templars... Beat everything.
BOOM BABY
I'd strongly reconsider looking into DK's and reworking them this patch, waiting the next few patches for action to be taken is a suicide route.
DK's need more attention and light after these last few dark patches all favorable in bias of templars. A lot may have to do with Gilliam, but I ain't calling the shots... Lets just be real, Gilliam needs to step down or be less bias towards his playstyle and tastes, the entire game doesn't revolve around him or his mindset when it comes to balance changes. There are far more competitive players that'd like to chip in ideas, but when you shut them down and fall back on the "audit" excuse, you are forcing unfair and disadvantageous balance changes.
From the bottom of my heart and with the deepest concern for the game, please do not ruin it or manipulate our hope into disappointment just so we can follow through with your audit ideas. There's a trend among many thriving games, and it all starts with listening to your community. That is just beyond these forums too, being more engaged as a part of a community is far different than listening to words or reading words. Ever tried having a conversation with somebody u don't know and understand their perspective and their thought process behind these ideas? As far as I'm aware, forum is a place to go complain for nerfs and balance, but not everyone is perfect on the forums. And a vast majority of people will act out of anger and lack of insight into the opinion they're stating such as Nerfs , or buffs, or situations that annoy them.
I'm being humble as a sorc main, giving constructive feedback, and DK's need to be looked into and placed into something unique that they can use from that standpoint to kill something. Something more unique that a templar ALREADY doesn't have.
The game will not blossom if the ZOS team doesn't water the flowers of its community. Mark my words
