then again i always hated the TTK on frontline and i REALLY HOPE they revert it back to 6.1 TTK so i can just do damage and have fun.

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. No wonder you couldn't climb the ranks in CC.

Add Phantom Dart.

Mmmm I don't think BLM is all that weak. Its just with the nerf to their ability to control the fight with aoe stuns (which I definitely agree was a justified change) in addition to losing their defense from LB it simply becomes easier to pressure them. I'm fine with the ice changes they made, I just feel like their LB should get the barrier back. They need something other than lightning to give them some form of defense as right now its too easy to dive and kill them imo.

You can still use burst as well during it since you're not on a huge time constraint and gain the barrier that way. Why would you want to have not only a LB barrier, but then a barrier from burst on top of it so that you can be shielded for 30+ seconds or something? That's supposed to be balanced? You can even move freely without casting during the whole LB duration, and yet, BLM is "easy" to shut down? Like, BLM LB is monstrous. It has to come with downsides, and shutting it down is part of the game, even though that it's actually not as easy as it looks.

And I'm saying this as someone that plays BLM quite a bit, so it's not like I'm a BLM hater.

Good players will dive you when LB is up to stop the ice spam. Giving them a bit of a barrier during LB would help alleviate that and give them room to kite. They need something other than just burst for defense.

Range nerf honestly doesn't change anything.
