PvP Nerf-Bat

Is it just me, or did every class acquire an instant counter to our movement and attacks and the classes with a perma block, the only thing that works really is ground-ripple.  Which that there sorta is lame w/o daze.  Is it worth staying a SF anymore?  Re-roll to KFM perhaps?

well it happens to me many times .. i thought it was a bug or sometimes blade and soul goes potato

Not too many of the skills changed all that much for any of the classes. However, quite a few of them had their separate trees combined, so that might feel like why everyone has new counters, but they don't actually have new counters. Take for example 'soaring falcon' (blade throw) from BD; it used to have two separate trees, one for knockdown, the other for focus regen, now it's all one skill.

 

SF is still worth it, just that, your choice in skill selection is going to be more crucial. Earth is good against certain classes, while ice will be better against others. Up to you to decide which works for you. Both specs can still be used for any class, it'll just require different strategies. As for switching to KFM, that's up to you, though, I've heard a few KFM lamenting about how bad their class is for this patch. Maybe talk to some of your friends to find out more.
