Can we buff the damn SF in 1v1 arena already??

Why are devs so slow at implementing changes? They've been dead bottom for good reason since the Stratus patch.

I suggest you go to 6v6 and look at the SF. They pretty much own. SF is a gear dependent type of class.

 

If they boost SF in 1vs1, it also mean SF gets boosted in 6v6, which will be as broken as gunner. (Gunner is also difficult in arena, but is a broken class in 6v6.)

Like it matter if anything affect 6v6. Whole mode should be revamped. Gear progression make zero sense pvp wise in this game. 

[FrozenB]

They won't touch 6v6 for sure because the whales need a reason to put money into this game to get top gear. For PVE, raven gears are more than enough for all the PVE content. Aransu gears are just for show now and in the future, it will be the requirement for new 12m raid.

A HUGE buff to the SF would be to remove how stance shift ATTACKS the player. That literally means you CANNOT switch stances when the opponent is on the ground using the 2 skill. Many times some guy is on the floor, and you want to stance shift to Frost Nova -> Displace -> Air combo, and you can't do that with the stupid stance shift attack. Whoever came up with it seriously doesn't know SF PVP. Its block approach skills is garbage.

How about getting rid of the Dragonfist crit bonus damage and adding simply to the base damage itself?

Which genius thought to give a class that can't reliably 100-0 only ONE escape?

SF definetly needs a buff, because its complete garbage, it was almost a year that it is in that spot and they aren't doing crap. I constantly look at BNS tree for Korea patches, and there is nothing  for SF. Only 'You can see dash cooldowns in KFM stance', like seriously, where is actual buff? 

 

We don't have defense seal anymore, so we can't play ground game, which was really fun, and no more 3 second daze on ground ripple, which means can't keep them in spot  for long. 

And the element split completely destroyed the class.

 

Frost is basically trying to kill opponent with air combo, because kfm stance in frost is terrible. If u are lucky u can deal up to 50% hp damage to opponent with full air combo and thats it, after that, you just try to survive for it cooldowns of frost stance to come up, since in kfm stance, all the opponent needs to do is to tab either 2 or 3, then he has like 10-15 second window to wreck havoc on you. And since V in fm stance has no defense seal, its pretty damn useless, just use it for its first tick when u stun someone with 4, even then it's damage is crap. 

 

Kfm stance is garbage in frost element, really low damage, only applies chill if it crits, which is almost non existent since we can't stun lock them long enough to apply freeze. Frost storm is completely useless, you will never hit all ticks with it, because people will instantly tab out when they see you using focus chi and it has 2,5 second duration, 90% of the time you will never hit them with last tick, even if you by some act of god hit with all ticks, the damage is still quite pathetic. 

 

Eath element is close to useless in both stances, the only class u can use it against is summoner, but yeah, can't ground play anymore with it, fm stance is terribly low damage and easy to get away from it. The only good thing is kingfist, since its instant not like the awful frost storm.

 

Stacking chi in arena should be buffed, like when using windstorm u get one stack of chi, and/or hitting someone with 2 if u specced in stun, it's not that hard to make it more viable. And the buff it gives is pathetic, that movement speed is pointless.

 

Shift Stance damage and slow is like what, i have never ever hit someone with it, it either needs to be removed or make it pierce defense and parry without any damage just slow and bigger range and lower cooldown or no cooldown at all.

 

SF is so punishable because of lack of defensive capabilities and almost no 100-0 chance. Sure you can 100-0 someone, if the person tabs your 4 while you have everything up, if not, you have to try 4 times harder than the class you are against to win. 

 

80% of the time sf is just running away from your opponent, because all of your skills are on cooldown for next 10-15 seconds, so you just run away from him like a t*at which is really not fun or just sit with thumb up your *ss and eat all his damage and usually die.

 

It is just not fun to play this class in 1 vs 1 arena.
