Been playing FS since the very start. I also have other class chars (except GL). Never in the history of FS has it been this weak, especially in NW. There was a time FS can equalize things with a single crit, which is the only real equalizer it has. Now it is nerfed so bad that even it's once vaunted CD is weak and it's once top defense is useless. AOD is useless, reduces it to a punching bag that a BL can crack easily. Other classes have better overall defense. How can you damage a BL when you can't hit it? FA has tons of evasion as well and heals fast. Same with WI, with the added bonus that it basically stuns you forever and blinks away. WA regens fast and probably has the highest overall defense as well. FB has evasion and basically just debuffs, roots you to get out of trouble. Not familiar with GL yet. FS has no defense against debuffs, healing is horrible. Unless you have really good gear, damage is pitiful in any BM. BM1 + aura has higher damage when used with the 3 top skills compared to bm2 and bm3 with aura. Cabal should rebalance everything since everything is so skewed against FS. The same thing happened to BL a few years ago where it was so badly nerfed, BL players quit left and right.
