ninja now unkillable in pvp

[Divinemights]

Humm my compalint is not that I am getting killed by other melees. The issue is that now some of them take so damn long to kill that it has become tedious. Any melee class that has goood sustain abilities take way too long to kill now.

You have to think this way, prior to this batch, everyone die from CC lock and literally cant react.
Now all damages got tune down, people will have a chance utilize their kit.
No more blind kill, you need to pay attention to target's condition and cooperate with other DPS in order to secure a killl.

That is the good of it. The bad of it is that melee jobs that have decent sustain now take so long to kill it's not even worth it. It has become incredibly tedious, and tedious is not good in a game. It looks and feels awkward.

The consequences of the changes go very deep. It's not simply a 20% cut in damage taken. It's 33%, and this reduced damage helps melee jobs bridge the gap between the next use of their self-heal / shield / immunity period, which means that they now last considerably longer than 133% of how long they lasted before, especially if it's a job rich in shields, self heals, and immunity periods.

I haven't played much in the past few days, but I'm curious as to whether people will realize that it's simply much better to pick a melee job than a ranged one right now. The tables have turned completely.
