bone dancer - Phoenix Freeshard

Can someone explain to me why this class, of all classes, hasn't been nerfed yet? Absolutely mindless class. Don't have to kite, etc. Can stand there and insta lifetap and outlive almost everything. Is an absolute joke imo.

Yup, dumb class, played by dumb players.

The trouble is, 80% of DAOC players play to make a number bigger (rps) 20% play competitive action where RPs are a bonus. Bad players will still be bad, regardless of how many RPs they earn, decent players will just get more toys per RR.

Could say the exact same thing about Necro, or Animist.

There are several ways to counter a BD and they don't "outlive almost everything" if those other classes know what to do.
CC the pets, kill the heal pets, desease + outdamage them.

BD's are as simple as Necro's and Animists.

BD's got nerfed in multiple ways, starting with the cast-pet dmg nerf and ended with the new Wild Power nerf (which affects BD's the most).

Nothing wrong with the BD Class really. Its very strong 1v1. But without its pets its kinda gimp. A Good Eldritch or Wizard will take down a BD like nothing..

'Problem' is they get both TWF and Maelstrom as RA's wich is stupid strong in just 1 class in keep defense... Just ask Xoonaka how he got rr11

It wasnt by outskilling anyone 1v1 to say the least

They are tough vs some classes, and weak vs others, like everything else. I've never had problems with them on my necro for example, meanwhile a good eld or RM could ruin it for me (double bolt into NS in open field is GG pmuch as you will never get in range to cast) if they open max range.
