The problem is that you use more time droping your buff than atacking
I done a cd-crit bd and ofcourse was good at damage but you know its really annoying drop 3-4skills every 5seconds to each fking enemy, the time u spend buffing ur self and the enemy is the time a sekker kill it 5times
Same happend with a speed bd, u take more time buffing than dealing damage i think gms should make mark blade and speed skill a mana cosumes mana in time, about the new skill FOR PVP, i think gms done that bcoz of the cc chains of mcs(single target) u see as a bd that u need get close to your opponed to deal dmg and basically 70% of mc classes dont let you do it even with rush, dude the charmer,lock,shaman,dk, even hunter cc is stupid u cant even move for a sec but well anyways the new bd skill surely will be unbalanced lets see what pbe server will say
