BDO - BA Sessions 1: Testing Maehwa Awakening Changes

Just a short vid this time. My honest thoughts on the changes: Ice fang feels really great for repositioning now. It was always a snappy movement skill but the FG made it really open considering it's a forward dash too. I also like backstep slash being SA. Ice fang stiff is poggers. Combine it with either frost flower, moonrise, frost pillars core, or petal bloom core for a great opener cc. Petal drill -50 DP (w/ addons) is ridiculously good. You're almost guaranteed to win any trade if you land that. Dbite losing its stiff will take a while to get used to, but considering I always follow dbite with red moon or blind slash anyway, I don't mind it as much. Slows are finally nerfed thank God, Maehwa feels like she has legs again. Definitely the biggest indirect buff we've received in a while. Huge problem though with Ice fang costing stamina. She is hella stamina hungry now, like VERY. We still need a reliable i-frame. I still have no idea what's stopping PA from turning sleet steps into an i-frame. Overall I still think Succession is way stronger. Yeah these changes are great, but they don't fix Awk's main issues. For a HEAVILY melee spec it's squishy with barely any sustain, has no utility, no grab, no ranged damage, and no reliable i-frames. You could definitely make it work, but you will have to work twice as hard for not much payoff at least compared to other classes (and especially compared to Succ). Still this is a good start, with these changes and slows tuned down awk is kinda playable in 1vX now. Definitely trying her out in Guild League when it comes back. Thanks for watching!
