BLADESWORN CHARGE ATTACKS

[JinONplay.8905]

The charging of dragon stance should be instantaneous.

Not being able to dodge and be placed in one spot is too risky and too small of a reward.

The damage is just not rewarding enough.

gathering flow is also extremely slow making the burst skill not as convenient as other specs.

Would be fine if the damage is still the same so long the charging is instant instead of having to wait 5 seconds to get to full charge as other specs doesn't need to wait for 5 seconds to have the same bursts damage as dragon stance.

Taking the middle grandmaster coupled with might makes right and mending might=4.5k heal plus 5-8k burst damage + 2.5s stun in pvp. If you take soldiers comfort it heals for more. 

If you take healing power and take rivers flow that heal is closer to 6k.

Yea, if someone kites to separate, it’s pretty nice to get a nice little sustain, then just fire a DT 3 on the off chance it hits (it won’t) and re-engage. Add draining sigil and you get another 1k health and 1k damage if you hit.

High risk and low reward on warrior, what a "surprise" xD.

Sustain not much of an issue with BsW....The abuse of tactics with this spec really is the worst thing possible.

 

I'd expect some nice synergy with arms, like Furious etc (as much of a kitten line Arms is, it could work if Gunblade wasn't so kittening bad).

Doesn't it also carry quite a lengthy stun with a trait also tho? You couldn't rly apply that with a instant attack. 

But yes rather annoying while harbinger can do 17k damage in one strike we only manage like 8 on a charged ability. 

I'm Oki with dragonstrigger being primarily used as a utility ability with its lengthy stun, but, gunsabers base abilities need to do abit more damage to compensate for that as currently it's balanced around dragons trigger damage that doesn't exist right now.

To make this worse Harbinger can do that damage almost instantly in one CC, 100% Harbingers dash attack needs to be nerfed, this skill consistantly hits from 6-11k I noticed, At least bladesworns attack takes time to build up before the burst, which is easier to land than you may think... however there is no way you can pull even one Strike off when we have bugged revs hitting up to 6 times with their greatsword skills doing 12k damage and necros spamming quickness and all the shroud skills in less than 2s instantly killing you.

Gunsabers biggest downfall is the number 2 skill, its damage is horribly low for how long it takes to cast, you're honestly better off spamming 3 in rapid sucession causing up to 12k damage in 1.5s providing all hit and all crit.

Well, it’s not like you become completely immobile while charging your attack; you can always flicker step. But yes, the damage could be higher.
