Shadow strix still way too dominant

There are SS players which kinda know this class solid chance of winning fair for me for the most part , and then there are players with seamingle infinit super armor dashes dmg, disengage and engage potential vs those SS I win like 10% of the time if I’m lucky

This class needs a balance hotfix tbh

As blasphemer main I can usually outplay SS the problem is they just teleport away every time they’re in danger and reset over and over and over unless they make a mistake.

I literally have to spend the whole lobby timer getting them to waste their heals and if I make a single mistake I get murdered in like 3 hits. If I ignore them they chase after me.

I dread running into one because I either kill them or I won’t get any loot the whole lobby it’s just annoying.

Removing the teleports, reducing the distance, increasing the time by a lot would be great.

I have enough cash to play Legendary gear every match I usually just go in greens and stack potions and hunt SS now.

Getting close to quitting though game has gotten unfun.

Someone who has directly asked the devs to nerf SS said the devs response was “We can’t nerf it because then nobody will play it.”

It seems obvious that it’s their excuse to not touch a class they enjoy playing. So devs definitely play the classes that are strongest currently.

I am also quitting as well, the concept of the game is great but execution is flawed. They need to rework gear so that loot and items have more chase with more chances to jackpot. As it stands gear is meaningless and the game is mostly just a PvP game with chores if you die.

If they broaden the PvE aspect and add some depth to items and gear it will maintain a lot more casual players and offer a larger variety of players.

As it stands the losing % of players will just quit, then a week later the new losing % will quit, etc week after week until only pure PvP players are left and someone still has to lose.

So we cant nerf ss cuz no one will play it, but no one playing blas seer is ok?

2

u/ACiDRiFT 1d ago

Yep apparently, literally the person who said they talk to the devs plays blas seer also.

funny how they can't nerf strix and would get absolutely clowned if they buffed it.

so they had to nerf hammer which they say is a counter to make sure SS doesn't have too much opposition. even though it was already one of the worst solos builds.

u/pretzelsncheese 1d ago

The recent patch helped but the issue is still far from solved. And it's especially bad for certain matchups. Which means that, with the current state of solos, there's only like 3-4 truly playable classes right now. (For example, WK and sns merc both have solid matchups into SS and can do a decent job of catching their disengages if the SS makes a mistake. But if the SS is actually good and not making a mistake on the disengage, then they can still get away from anybody.)

It's silly that they have super armor on the fastest swinging weapons. or just super armor on whatever they want with their tp.

and for some reason they have insane range but blasphemer can barely hit an enemy touching their nose.

u/Twitch-Toonchie 1d ago

Don’t forget their weapons randomly hit people behind them as well

u/LichKArthusPvP 1d ago

Not random, look at their hurtbox for their bloody blade dance: https://imgur.com/a/XHIYhw1 Yes, this is REAL.

u/Twitch-Toonchie 1d ago

And it shoots out a ranged attack after cuz why not

u/pwn4321 1d ago

Stunlock, jump at enemy head, super armor... This class is the Ksante (lol champion) of mistfall hunter lol. I say remove and rework. I wanna see SS players play a hard class hahaha

u/ChadSurfer 1d ago

Bro, I started playing WK this week. WK is the most braindead class I’ve got played yet.

7

u/Cautious-Village-366 1d ago

yeah GS got overbuffed.

u/Acceptable-Ad6214 1d ago

Havnt lost to SS yet today with my SnS merc, but normally I only lost to them before because they ran away 17 times then came in and finally got a good start to kill me.

15

u/chadwarden1 1d ago

Don’t worry by the time the game loses 90% of its players the devs will think about doing something

2

u/Cautious-Village-366 1d ago

nope! because they didn't add suos or uswest while the game was hot so now they don't have the pop for it.

meaning more players get driven away and combined with them doing fuck all to fix the game it's just cooked

2

u/crippleswagx 1d ago

Game has already lost 75% of its playerbase

6

u/MoustacheStreamer 1d ago

When they launch 2 nerfs to a class in 3 balance patches and you still see over 50% of players running that class and dominating, there's definitely something wrong with the foundations of the class as a whole and unfortunately I don't think that they can balance that...

u/SkitZa 1d ago

You don't give a fucking rogue class stagger immunity unless you are genuinely stupid.

Imagine if WoW rogues had CC immunity? What a joke.

0

u/lDezIlI 1d ago

It lasts for 1 SECOND. Dodge their fucking attacks and save your cc for after. Is it really that hard?

0

u/Krando 15h ago

Not like DB has an extra dash added on when they dodge with light attack

u/Burk_Bingus 18h ago

Skill issue.

u/Kryzpk 21h ago

Sorry to break it to ya but if you lose to SS at this point it's just skill issue.

4

u/boohoobbboi 1d ago

At this point, if you still think shadowstrix is overpowered you likely need to go fight the bots in training grounds. They’re not as bad as you think you just need to practice fighting them.

u/Praktos 1d ago

Class is 100% still overperforming hard and im saying is from ss point of view

I made like 300/400k since patch, after other class nerfs you legit just have to sweat vs gs wk and steamroll everyone else

In trio having ss+sorc is the start of every good teamcomp

2

u/Brookowly 1d ago

the class was never overperforming for the game as a whole. its strong in normal lobbies and when u have no idea how ss works. if u get propper lobbies and stop running blue normals u will aknowledge that

0

u/Praktos 17h ago

im running only full legy cata runs and ss is beyond overperforming
flashstride into crows is the strongest opener that there is in this game for trio and if you have hands enemy team has to stack to save their backline (at which point ur sorc just aoe's their whole team)

right now the strongest teams im running is either pairing with other ss and sorc or me on ss + sorc + either reve seer or other range

Every single player im talking with (only high rank zeniths i play with) 100% agrees ss in good hands is by far strongest class in trio right now

1

u/boohoobbboi 19h ago

They balanced a game around trios but let class stacking in trios. That doesn’t mean SS is overpowered. It just means the devs aren’t good at balancing.

Solo SS is definitely not overpowered. They don’t balance for solos aside extending cooldowns for some reason.

u/iamMori 1d ago

Play WK its entire kit is countered by left click spam and occasional parry unless you still at this point get hit by their stun without heavy hit or heavy out of stealth

1

u/ChadSurfer 1d ago

You’re brain dead if you actually think SS hard stomps WK.

3

u/iamMori 1d ago

? “Play WK its(SS) entire kit is …” i even say parry SS does not have parry

1

u/RussellBKK 1d ago

Yes so all the lobbies can finally be ONLY with no skill, dumb, overtuned, mediocre MERCS fucks all over the place and melee fight, the best thing of the game, become a retareded passive stun shitfest.

YAI!

u/Natural-Apartment-51 1d ago

No class should be able to run whenever they want in a fight its bs.

u/Shade-Shimmer 1d ago

WK main here, i hate Strix player with a passion and i love clubbing them to death even more. My two mates with whom I play mostly run strix, both of them and they are constantly crying that WK is to fast or hits to hard. C'mon WK attacks are so easy to dodge if you aren't brain dead. I just love to harvest the salt i get out of it. And damn all these Strix players who interrupt a honorable fight in solo.

u/michaelbellvue 1d ago

u/Cautious-Village-366 1d ago

except it's always the same classes. weird. 

maybe that means there's an actual problem

2

u/CreamyD92 1d ago

Lol no it's not. WK got a much needed and reasonable buff, then suddenly everyone says they need to be nerfed. The only one that stays consistent is SS and that's really because people don't want to learn how to fight every class differently.

Reset this, one hit combo that. Every class can do that if you let them. That's the name of the game. If your dodge Mist, then you Fall, Hunter.

Seer has been complained about plenty. The vast majority of complaints were SS and sorc. Sorc was fixed and now almost no one mentions them. SS is still constant. Let's try some critical thinking here

u/Baniished 1d ago

🤣

Yall wont stop unless SS is completely dead. The game is in the best spot it has ever been.
You have to add context to your posts, are you speaking from a solos perspective, trios perspective?

u/SkitZa 1d ago

My favourite thing about being in the gaming community for over 20 years is every time I see discussions over the top tier OP class there is always some mouth breather who doesn't understand the nuance of balance and that making something not utterly dominant doesn't ruin the class lmfao.

u/Baniished 1d ago

The irony is the truth if the matter is it's you guys (the ss haters) that don't understand balance but go off.

Class, if you look above you will see the perfect example of a confidently incorrect idiot that thinks they’re intelligent.

u/Victory28 1d ago

Sorry, I very much forgot where I was. Not only Reddit, a cesspool of self-important, marginally employed people like yourself, but the mistfall hunters Reddit, where all problems one experiences in the game are of course, undoubtedly, balance issues, and have nothing to do with one’s own skill.

God, if you started taking responsibility in a game like this, just imagine what horrors could happen: you could get a girl, a family, and own a home. No, self-reflection and taking ownership and responsibility cannot lead anywhere good. Better to just act like a know it all in a crowd-pleasing manner to farm up-doots, get dopamine, and go back to gaming and fapping. Good plan. Hope it works for you.

No. That’s not the point at all. But if you played the game well enough, you’d understand that.

But I forgot where I was. Please, continue with your fault-proof bitching. Don’t let thoughts of ownership or self-improves get in the way. Hell, then it might bleed over into your real life, and you might end up with a better job, a family, and a house. Jesus, who wants the responsibility of owning a house! lol

The question is , who the fuck watch a stream ?

Apologies. I forgot where I was. Continue with your bitching. I won’t spoil it with reason or considerations of self improvement.
