You obviously haven't played BD in elf, or haven't seen a real bd nowadays. Tank BDs are obsolete bro they're dead since counter attack was nerfed hard, tank BDs rarely found now. In tank BDs in pvp/arena are not as tanky as barbarian/warden/deathknight/paladins they have no health restore skills they only have shield skill which players only lvl up to 1/4, they're only named tanks because they can use heavy equipments. The case of this is in PVE, most players neglect Blade dancers in dungeon spams/runs if built tank, why? BDs dont have aoe dmg in auto attacks and very low dps compared to seeker/ mage/ rangers, they're very inefficient tanks (single aggro is weak, rush is the only area aggro skill which is also weak, have long cooldowns and have limited aoe effect, a ranger can steal single aggro more than a bd) they make party members die often eventually failing the party, they cant even tank specific dungeons (Tech tower, Sea myth, festive dungeons, Tree myth etc.) And cant tank raid bosses. So, players that wanted their BDs to be invited in boss raids, dungeon runs/spams it resulted them building DPS blade dancers with light armors equipped with swords/daggers with max PoB to be able to cope up with the dps competitions of seekers/rangers demands by players. Conclusion BD tanks are dead in PVE they now rely on their autoattacks, in PVP they're not as tanky as barbarians. Most of BDs are built dps now in PVE. Devs are doing great anyway on this rebalance, im still waiting for test servers to test the permanent active skills that reduces mana regen. If u want BDs to be nerfed on every patch might as well delete the class, also why would devs play their own game?Just for test of maybe or they just want to rekt other players? Which doesn't make any sense

That's alot of reduced dmg, Power of blades is what keeps blade dancers relevant in dungeon spams and in pvp, my point is 5% attack strength reduction i think won't hurt but 10% attack strength reduction is alot considering it is now active reducing mana regeneration. Anyways great work devs im looking forward for the new visual effect of skill. Make it great atleast it would compensate our grief (not really) for the 10% attack strength reduction.

Hi po... Great effort and Guide, hoping this will be dynamic (be updated to any changes) thanks
