You just straight up die too fast in this game imo. The disparity between the more conventional classes and the new and or favored (sumarai classes) is unbearable.
when you are being 2v1'd or 3v1'd in this game surrounded by samurais or new classes its damn near impossible to see wtf is going on.
There should be a way ti make the guard reticule bigger.
This game must be near impossible for new players.

What exactly was the thought process with giving the new classes such dynamic and insane abilities without even giving as much of a thought to the older classes?

I lvoe this game but between the gear change and the new classes which I do enjoy I near on the verge of quitting.
