Ban Dragoon and DRK from Frontline or At least Nerf Drg's LB

They could make this a feature in Frontlines and possibly Rival Wings again.

I would love to see this.

I didn't get into PvP here until they did the rework, and while I didn't have a problem with skills such as the DRK pull initially, I do feel that it is getting more and more... obnoxious, I guess? Giving us an immunity even for a few seconds after a pull-in, knockback or CC feels like it would make Frontlines much more enjoyable overall.

to me the annoying part is those who organise a group to act like a premade
or rather not be on their side

DRK is the problem imo, not DRG.

I think the pull in shit needs to be gotten rid of, it's far too obnoxious to deal with and has way too many ridiculous obviously unintended uses, which we've seen on Borderlands when it was playable and on Rival Wings with the train, too.

My real opinion however is to remove DRK from PvP, obnoxious job with nothing fun about it to play with or play against.

Ah yes, gatekeeping people's job regardless of intention of the player, love the idea. /s

If we are going to be smart and say "get rid of the pull" then pray tell what other playmaking ability should DRK get? Take Salted Earth out and its basically now just a Plunge bot for heal reduction. DRK is a problem in FL purely because there is no limit to how many targets Salted Earth can pull simultanously. I really want to hear a suggestion rather than another "uuuuugh DRK broken, ban it or delet Salted" what DRK should have in place of Salted Earth.

DRG is a problem on both FL and CC, it has an unforgiving damage output both with their Limit Break as well as their general burst (which is about half the power of the limit break, on a 20-25s cooldown) with minimal risk tied to it thanks to Horrid Roar, Elusive Jump and their own LB giving them iframes + a 24k shield after. And even if we ignore the dmg of DRG, apparently AST squads with Macrocosmos is a new favourite to do a ton of AOE damage against deathballing alliances.

You wanna know how to fix Frontlines? Here, let me tell you:

1.) Change how Limit breaks charge, don't let them charge for free just because you exist while scratching your head.
2.) Take every single action with AOE damage in this game, reduce the damage past the 5th target by -80%/-90% (including the power of DRK's pull-in) and keep actions otherwise the same, because frankly Salted Earth is only as OP as the amount of players it is allowed to suck in.
3.) Change Macrocosmos' damage to 8000, make Gravity II (non-doublecast) 12000 to keep their burst potential roughly the same, slightly increase their 5y AOE damage output over time and nerf their 15y pseudo nuke.


Anyhow I'll happily hear suggestions about Salted Earth.

Mark DRKs for your team. Silence them when they plunge, watch everything fall apart.

Solid A+. Can confirm this is the bane of my existence, FL and CC alike.

This might work for solo DRKs but not premades. Theres 3 players in top 10 Frontline standings i recognize that i have to deal with regularly. Theyve been there for months.

In fact, here are all the times i care to find their DRK in at least top 15.

Sadly you don't deal with one DRK.

I know you can only CC one person at a time in most cases but you only need the same numbers of team mates as there are DRKs on the enemy team to share the same braincell.

So just mark all the enemy DRKs on the game or at least the trouble ones like a premade doomstacker, communicate with your team and hope for the best.
