Every time I look at this forum people are complaining about the same things. Mortal empowerment stacks, rapier being used purely as a defensive tool, dodge and mobility spamming.
There is one class that abuses all of these to the absolute max: dex. They have the lowest cost dodge, haste on weapon swap, they can get and maintain mortal empower stacks without ever putting themselves at risk, they can keep using rapier because their range allows them to preemptively leave any remotely threatening situation early.
The changes to light armor dodge distance under melee attack have little to no effect against dex because they choose whether or not they want to play in melee distance. If anything, dex users are laughing at us other light players because all of their non-dex counters still can’t catch them and now they can’t even fight in the main ball without getting trampled by the zerg.
If you like playing light mage, bruiser, or skitzo and were on the fence about just picking up the bow or musket, now’s the time since they’re obviously the only dps class that should play light.
