Is this a hack or BRD OP issue?

was down... Tetragrammaton was about to be ready when I was trying to hit it and i died with it ready dispite hitting it.

Then I am just going to side with OP, no reason any job should kill anyone without being able to do anything

That is, saddly, a fact of PvP. Classes are balanced around being able to do PvE, less so PvP. This has lead to a number of classes, not just Bard, being able to kill someone without that person having a chance to breath. Warriors (why hello Holmgang, how are you today?) and Ninjas in particular do this as well, and I've seen well played Monks wreck DPS and Healers in a hot second. It's frustrating, yes, but PvP is still a work in progress for SE.

The main problem is.. People who have no idea how pvp works talks about it , let me explain : bard Barrage can be stunned , the target can go far away gg barrage interrupted , ninja is the worst melee class in pvp! Also explain me whats wrong with holmgang.. And last the Op who uses stone to heavy the Ranged instead of heals.. Than we complain why ppl get rekt in a match

I'm not saying there is anything WRONG with Holmgang, I'm saying that there are classes that have skills that are very powerful in comparison to PvP vs PvE. I'm not complaing about getting rekted because, let's face it, I'm a bard. I am going to 'get rekted' as soon as someone gets physical with me and I'm silly enough to be on my own. I specifically mentioned holmgang because 1.) it's just a strong skill in general, 2.) it's my own, personal, running joke. I get caught in Warrior's holmgang's A LOT and that's my OWN fault. But it still doesn't stop me from doing a 'hello darkness my old friend' type of joke as that chain catches me and drags me.
