Not sure where to rant about this.

Usually I could just enjoy occassional bloodbath in Frontline. Even during Endwalker time (or before role action comes into picture) there would be only one thing that had to be constantly watched out: Dark Knight's Salted Earth.

Nowadays? Good luck scoring anything when out of nowhere certain mass of individuals just jump to you with its high Battle High and on top of that the Rampage.

Guard!

Oh, nevermind. Here comes Dancer's Contradance. Or Reaper's LB.

Everything muddled and 3 minutes in, these same people already at Battle High 5.
Sure we can take 1-2 people off their Battle High, but it is easy to replenish when you just have to tag along.

And when I happen to join along their lethal wagon? Very unsatisfying. PvE is already calculated, movement is like dance steps. You saying that PvP too?

I do love it when the run was so messy on all group, though. Feels like the struggle still means something, unlike the recent development. Feels like fighting is pointless when you will be deleted 5 seconds into battle.
