So i played the hell out of Glad tonight and.. i was really enjoying myself even the fights i was loosing i was having good battles.. one elimination i killed all 4 of the enemies and got called a hacker.. and it made me think.. hmm maybe its just all about the skillage.. as one of those was a Shaman.. then the whole team just ended up ganking me which is fair enough its part of the game. then i went to duels .. and well one massive problem is this... MATCH MAKER DOESNT WORK! got ranked up with guys 15 to 20 times my rank which never helps. I then spent 3 hours with a lvl 3 bot shaman Training then went online again and omg.. was an awful time again! Shes OP and annoying because all the other guys have a proper character design ... ish lol . I said to my mate when he asked me what he thought the last viking would be and i said "i Bet you UBI has no bloody clue what to do.. they will just make up some random guy with tons of moves like the cent had but worse" and i was right ... the poor warden now is very easily the most boring character in the game now in terms of his move list and the fancy animations. Conq is limited by his play style .. lawbringer is pretty stale too... its all about give these new guys more and more and more.. You can spend all day learning from the AIs patterns with her but it wont save you 9 times out of 10 and human players well .. more so..
I mention the warden again cus his move list is pretty basic but you could say the same for all the older characters. i mean does he (the warden) get a lunge attack? no you cant call the shoulder bash a lunge it takes a sucessful hit with it to allow you to follow up with a sword strike. does he get any crazy blood rage leap attack that tracks no.. cent gets his kick which used to track .. does warden get a follow up light side attacks oohh well yes he does.. so ooookay thats one thing he matches her on... oh wait what the hell.. ohh thats right she has everyones powers all in one.. then can out run like.. most if not all.. and can dodge like the worst of assassin characters.. daaam she is hella OP

More OP then any hero ever before her.
When it comes to moveset and viability though, it would be sad to see it nerfed (like feintabilty etc.). It may be ultra strong, but as other said somewhere: she should be what balance and especially versatility should aim at for all heros.
Nevertheless, as long as the rest of the cast is not up to her level - or like 50 levels below her - she will reign surpreme.

She is like 10 Times more op then Old centurion, superfast shugoki hug with no drawback, fast lights unblockables all ********, now its which team has lost skills that wins, only which team has most shamans. Superbroken Class. I am bot surprised since ubisoft showen their iincompetence time after tine when balanced characters but this is a joke. Ofc they make shaman Broken OP to Sell more season pass but this is just lol.....

I rly don't understand people defending the shaman, saying that she is ok. I've read the comments of knight_raime and the like... Srsy guys, you think she has a hard time to put a bleed on you? What the actual f...??? She can feint into any direction, and the feint is super-ultra-mega fast!! You can react to that? You can react to her ability to pounce all day long when you are bleeding? And then she forces you to dodge, cancels her pounce and gets a gb... oh and let's not start on the gb punish or her throw distance? I can see that you think that her design is a step in the right direction, and I could agree with that; if it were not for the fact that all the season 1 heroes ARE MILES BEHIND HER! Nerf her into the level of the rest of the heroes and once you buff and rework the old cast to her current level, buff her back. Isn't fairness something that is supposed to be pursued when balancing a game??? She has everything! Seriously, that's what you call balanced and fair?

Raime self admitted that he is bad at the game, but judging from his comments he reliably parry pk zones, avoid glad's zone, and parry shaman's soft feint, like WTF XD try to imagine if he was be good at this game xDOriginally Posted by Justicator Go to original post

Not OP seeing as how she is not unbeatable. Most of the roster have to work harder to beat her but that's not so much a problem with her than it is with other characters not being up to spec. She is a representation of how most of the other heroes should be reworked, i.e. they should have as much usability as her in their respective roles.
She does however need dialing back as Knight Raime has said, she is currently over tuned. I haven't played her yet so I won't hazard guesses as to precise numbers than need to be tweaked. One thing that I do feel confident in suggesting is reducing her throw distance, removing wall splat on predator's pounce and reducing the amount of stamina she regains from a neck bite - I'm not qualified to suggest by how much but it shouldn't not be a full stamina recovery.
