Dark knight is STILL broken.

It isn't the LB timer. It's the LB effect.
Keep the dropping to 1 HP, but replace the invulnerability effect with a 60000 potency shield.
This shouldn't affect DRK's LB in normal combat scenarios, but it should prevent the issues that come about with a single DRK being able to win against 5+ players, something that no other job is remotely capable of.

Nope, it's not broken, they just want you to play Crystal Conflict and nothing more, i know what the fix is for all our problems, deleting Frontline entirely will fix every problem in PVP.

It could be somewhat more tolerable if Frontlines wouldn't have such awful latency. By the time you see DRK, it's too late to do anything but to accept your death.

Anywhere else in the entire game, my actions are basically instant, but in Frontlines they have noticeable delay.
And looking at the "Sending/Receiving" -thingy on upper right corner, it goes up to like 10.000 inside Frontlines.

If you argue like that then Paladin wouldn't be allowed Hallowed Ground (and even while covering) either. I think it is fine. Maybe their AoE should be nerfed to 50% of potency when hitting more than 5 targets or their recast timer of 1s nerfed to 2,4s. The problem is they just can put out so much dmg in so little time. But the expansion is soon anyway, its gonna stay like this now and then you get your revamp in 7.x.

Players using all their important cooldowns on a 1 HP dark knight while the rest of the enemy teams actually kills them is somehow not a player skill issue?

Rebalance it by making frontline 8v8v8 so that job stacking isn't a thing and you can easily shut down premades without having to deal with apathetic masses on your side

its amazing what a game with no anti cheat and a player with a lag switch can do in pvp...

Y'know... that would explain some things. Guess I never thought about that.

Of course, the problem is Salted Earth, it has always been Salted Earth.

It's not salted earth, it's the animation lock that it puts you in. If you could act normally during the pullin effect - and Purify gave an anti-knockback effect like it used to - it wouldn't be broken.

I came out of retirement to experience the changes. My feeling is they are improvements, except I don't understand the Bard nerf, nor why the points for KO's in Shatter were reduced (I have had multiple matches going to the time limit).

The matches on all three maps have fallen in to two distinct classes. Fun ones in which the scores have been close. Dreadful ones in which the winning team was around or exceeded the combined total of 2nd and 3rd. (This despite some cases in which the two trailing teams were tacitly colluding to slow down the leader.)

DRK may not be ideal, but is not the main problem. The primary reason some matches are dreadful is the mixing of solo and party queueing.

I will now return to the dungeons.
