It is really funny to see this...
Many of you don't get that SK is offense tanker that means more based to deal dmg than tank.
Still even tho I am not high upgraded and geared I still win in ranked cuz of people who thinks that stun and 2 critic attacks can beat me and if they fail to critic, they are mad...
SK is slow class, violent slice have cast time, easy to interupt, our 2 skills are paral based soo reduce paral set reduce it a lot.
Bold strike or fear ain't that hard anymore if you have reduce bleed and reduce fear..
One more, SK skills ain't working as they should.
Life steal and curse are physical based skills and lower your pdef, higher dmg plus that defense reduce debuff, it is mostly in play because of life steal and curse too boost their dmg.
Still you need to be aware that in DBO some classes are made to be specialy against some classes.
SK is made to be good vs critic classes cuz of anti critic, mostly for party PVP.
Because SK should stay alive long enough to revive fallen party members.
Still you can counter SK with almost everything, if you gear up and play and know your own class the best you can.
Like I said, SK is made to tank critic attacks, go and try critic SK and you will mostly fail, try any other tactic and you will win if you out smart player that use SK.
Cheers.
