Blossom Blader has become Completely Useless in PVP after UPDATE

i was earlier known that the Skill Blossom Slash of Blossom blader class which was WAY OVERPOWERED and a Nerf or a skill balancing was needed. that was fine as it was 1 SHOTER in PVP with having SFR like 6800% x 6 and with vaivora 2h sword the skill increases by another level 2. also Startup giving another 30% Damage

So Overall the final Damage of Blossom Slash was like ~42000% + range (including all) that was WAYY TO HIGH and a smugis shot meant instant death even u had 200k HP + templar shield.

So the JUNE UPDATE came an Balance FIX

Blossom Blader

Blossom Slash

  • Casting time of Blossom Blader increases by 1 second when used in PvP areas.
  • Consecutive hits are applied as 1+[number of Flowering stacks] according to the number of stacks applied on the target when using Blossom Slash against character.

The problem is that instead of BALANCING OR LOWERING THE SFR(Skill Factor Ratio) to acceptable levels like (~20k%+) , they add multiple blockades which makes it even hard to use the skill itself in PVP

  1. The Casting time FEELS TOO SLOW for Blossom Slash,
    even if it 1 sec, it seems that most of time even IF ENEMY MOVES AWAYS A LITTLE by the time it loads and does nothing(about 60% of the times… it does nothing).
  2. NEED FOR FLOWING BUFFF??? REALLY?
    So u need to use the flowering Buff which dispears after 2 seconds(first stack) unless u stack it. Normally Players STACK flowering Buff by using Control Blade or Blossom Slash
    immediately after Flowering skill… so it stacks automatically.
    Now u need to USE FLOWERING + LOAD BLOSSOM SLASH(flowering Buff Disappears by then) and when it hits it only hits
    ONCE… jsut once… it is not possible to stack in 5 times IN PVP…
    so it has become useless COMPLETELY in PVP.

Not to mention u need to face the enemy in front or the skill will do nothing , ALSO if the ENEMY has a PET IN PVP
its a gacha…Most of time the blossom Slash ends up on the PET in the auto aim…
it would be a miracle u are able to connect 1 Blossom SLAsh in the 3 matches of the TBL.
May be u can HIT a AFK PLAYER with blossom slash.Thats the only person ON u can use.

So yea, Blossom Blader is now Useless in PVP and everybody is scattering to change classes.(to 2h spear…etc)

The problem is that IMC always tend to go the EXTREME END
Either they make

  1. TOO OVERPOWERED or COMPLETELY USELESS (in skills,classes,set stats…etc)
  2. TOO EASY OR TOO HARD( in leveling, legend BOSS RAID) …etc

i wonder if the day will come when a PROPER BALANCE will comeby.

Just make a spear and chase the spear meta like most people do :ok_hand:

looks like a proper balance to me, it’s not like Swordsman doesn’t have access to knockdown or stun to still allow for easier casting conditions (in the future, glacier shield will even provide a freeze option for Swordsman only).

The damage is untouched, but now it requires actual skill to use it instead of just oneshotting you

Have you thought about stunning, using reti net or some silencing skill before casting it? I don’t understand why cry when you have plenty of choices to CC your opponent before using your 1 shot skill.

Ah yes the class has no other useful skills and having to do more preparation than pressing 1 button for a potential PARTY-WIPE with the V-Sword ichor is just not acceptable

cry me a riveeeeeeerrrrrrr kekekekakaka the oneshotting wonder is now gone for good! enjoy blossom pve or chase the meta

so the thats the SOLUTION…
now we need to Change the Entire Class itself from 2h sword to Dragoon(spear) or something…
is this so-called BALANCE??

NO ITS NOT… u can ask any blossom blader(who PVPs) about it and they will tell the same…

what the use of DAMAGE UNTOUCHED if the skill itself cant be used?

Its like u need 5 stacks of FRENZY(of barbarian) on an enemy to use a skill.
the problem is that… THE SKILL itself(blossom slash) needing 5 stack of flowering(for full hits) with its 1 second casting time with short range makes it impossible to use in PVP now.

It’s like you only have one skill in your whole build to deal damage…

I wonder how a Class that has two other strong damage skills (over 10.000% SFR before any enhancement) becomes completely useless for you just because it became a little harder to stack the debuff and cast the skill.

I have a tip for you: use Bash(to knock down)>Flowering>Control Blade>Blossom Slash

or use any other slash skill in your arsenal to stack flowering stacks. Or just use Blossom Slash without any extra stacks.

Your crying is like as if I cry that my Breaking Wheel or Ripper doesn’t hit enemies when not CCed, and they have a way higher CD, + Inquis damage boost is relying on hitting enemies with said two skills (or tanking magic attacks).

Imagine you’d have to cast Blossom Slash for 6 seconds to achieve full damage instead (like Ripper), or keep the target in one spot for 15 seconds for Breaking Wheel…

Yes, Inquisitor has Iron Maiden, but it easily is resisted by the majority of PVP classes (and by using Rykuma set effect,which is now open for Varna,too), hard to hit and costs way too many points on a class that’s starved for points like Inquisitor, unlike Blossom Blader who can max all except for one single skill.
