All these are not new, sws had the same skills in the past yet he underwent changes cuz he was weak. The real complain of how classes here get to have H5+ skills while sws miss them remains. It's like the whole staff hated sws so much, that they stripped them off completely. It's like every class is playing on classic 2.0, while sws literally just plays on chronicle 2.
PS: I never even mentioned DPS, I knew what sws has always been about, you debuff, sustain and sing, but to have such a low land rate of debuffs when almost 90% of stuns/fears get you + missing a whole debuff (psychosymphony) and a basic defence skill (deflect magic) is really outrageous.
