Now we are talking about the entropy set which is overpowered atm but the topic was striker being utterly overpowered but he isn’t currently. Definitely one of the steonger classes after a huge investment but that’s it

The point is the one i just made. It s not striker being op, but the set making him op. Period.
Set cards are unique to him and wardancer boosting not just back attack but elemental dmg (2/3 of your dmg spells Said combo, again along with ambush master and entr bonuses from lv2 up, and more when bracelets are out, makes the dmg unreal as lobg as u give up SA for full dps.
To sum up, it s not striker that needs nerfing.
If anything, ESO needs a buff
I agree with that
Just play the striker
yes you stand behind in trixion but name 1 boss were you don’t.
If you rly think you will land 100% back attack on every spender then yes. It is strong and for the utter soulcrushing reason that YOU NEED to land backattack to deal any dmg, and if you miss SINGLE spell you are down half or full spender per cycle.
Striker does about the same dmg per cycle as a sorc that cant double dooms day but instead of bursting every 30s, it bursts every 15s so DPS wise it’s significantly higher than igniter Sorc provided the target is a dummy.
And how come my friend’s Soul fist doing 50% more damage than anybody else in the guild?
Real damage like Guardians/legions not some Trixion dummy.
Oh come on this is just a toxic topic!
Trixion test is on a stationary dummy… melee back attackers, especially who needs to stay close to the target like striker or scrapper, can deal half or less that damage in a real raid.
Moreover, as melee you lose a lot of time frame for doing damage, like Valtan G2 when you are hiding behind pillars or Vykas G2 during waffles loading, and do not talk about Kakulsaydon G3 where AOE around balls keep you far from the boss. As a main DB striker, I’m happy about it, but it’s clearly not in line with top tier dps like sorceress and deathblade.

Hes comparing his ew deadeye to db striker. Striker is piss easy to play compared to ew deadeye while doing more damage.
Ceiling for DB striker is very high but burst windows are limited and on a two spender build is very easy to miss on huge dps
I watched a video of a KR striker that explains it well
Simple. You are attacking a standing still mob from behind. Charging your orbs and hitting all your esoteric skills (which is the only purpose of DB Striker) 100% of the time.
Now go compare your damage against a mobile target. And pray 
I really don´t know what you expect asking for nerfs for classes you don´t even understand friend. Trixion is not a good testing for comparing* method.
Also, believe it or not deadeye has some of the greatest dmg potential among all the classes.

Perfect sum up of the situation
There was a tier list made by Jiudau with the help of around 50 biggest KR players (in late october if i reckon).
What they basicly explain is that the 3 S tier classes you cant compete with them. And the C tier classes cant compete with A tier.
(A and B tier classes can compete between each others easyly).
S tier were : n°1 New Artillerist, n° 2 Surge DB, n° 3 New arcana Empress.
C tier class : only deadeye pistoleer remaining since last balance patch.
Stiker stand in beginning of A tier list.
What they conclude is that the current version of the game is one of the most balanced ever as out of 46 (if im correct) specs, only 3 are over the top and only 1 is “bad”.

the main point of the post shouldnt be that striker is broken because in comparison to other classes right now striker doesnt outperform them easily (for example i can compete with my db striker on my sorc, gunslinger, surge blade and the moon reaper if it had lvl 12 spells and relic set)
i havent played deadeye myself but i would agree that conceptually already the class is too hard to play for its return, you need almost permanent back attack uptime while also being melee range despite having one of the lowest survivability stats, i think its more an issue of deadeye being too difficult for its damage but idk what the ceiling is when you have almost full uptime so i could be wrong
From personal experience db is harder to execute and has worse uptime, if you miss 1 skill your rotation is fucked. Meanwhile my deadeye needs 0 preping and no combo attacks, just position and back attack. And having your dps in 6 skills is not that bad because if you miss 1 back attack you lose only ~20% damage meanwhile db striker does 0 damage if he misses his LTS.
However sorc is broken, she just deals more damage than everyone else while being hit master and ranged.

I don’t think Striker is broken, it has been more than year since he got changes to his kit. But I do agree he deals significant DPC like a Shock Scrapper does, both this classes are far easier to play when compared to DE. In my opinion, DE should get buffed instead of nerfing Striker, but this comparison is probably the same as Gunslinger vs Sorc. In a short fight Striker and Sorc do the most damage, while in long fights DE and Gunslinger can do more damage, but that depends on player performance.
One thing I do hope the devs changes on DE is add a back attack bonus in his close shot tripods. DE does not just need to back attack but to stay close as well, it almost a 50% loss of damage if he isn’t close, even if he back attack. Even if SG doesn’t buff DE dps, the best QoL change for him would be speed up Shotgun Rapid Fire animation or decrease the push back this skills has.
Because deadeye has long cool down and only shine once you get lvl9-10 cd gems. On paper it is slightly stronger than DB once everything is maxed but yeah it’s annoying to play and get to that point.
The tile says that striker is utterly broken, it’s no a comparison,
the topic is misleading and completely wrong.
Striker is not even top tier until you get bracelet and he still requires lot of skill and boss knowledge to reposition at its back and unleash your tiger strikes during the right timeframes.
there are other class much more easy to play which are top tier.
Bruh striker isn’t a high skilled class and is as easy to play as mayhem zerker but less squishy.
Striker is top tier at around 1650spec and have all the epic wealth runes farmed out.
Also 1 of if not the cheapest class to max gems out(that isn’t transformation) as he only needs 3 damage gems.
