Dark shift? A bad joke. you will often be captured by opponents' cc while using this skill. Connection lag? I've tested it on four different networks and the result has always been the same.
How about the phantom crash? Have invencible, super armor, stun ... wow
Totally destroyed by huntress, paladin and warriors. sometimes witches and giants too. I will talk about this later.

Ahhh!! But damage does it have?

Generally speaking, yes. However ...
And the cooldown? Relatively high compared to other classes in the same level of character and skills. Paladins, warriors, huntress and witches keep spamming their main skills and manage to perform the same bean and rice combo ever. The damage of the skills of the archer are compatible, the problem is the very low cooldown of his skills causing him to maintain constant damage. The other classes in general are more or less ok in that sense but Paladin was developed by a retard. I have never seen in a mmo, a tank class that does more damage than any other dps class and absurdly full of cc, both for single targets and for multiple targets.

How is it in the arena?
80% of archers are visibly unaware of what they are doing and keep smashing all skills. At that moment I would like to congratulate the staff for this balancing pig equally to those who did it. Paladins use CC without having to move and hit you on the other side. It is important to say that this skill has practically no cast, unlike the doom vortex. In fact, from silver the vast majority of players will punish you if you try to use this skill even if you use it at the beginning of the game. It is said in passing that if your opponent is a paladin he will reach you in a fraction of 1s. Ridiculous.

Warriors keep spamming cc

Against Revans, usually the "elementalists" in the game just keep on firing and when they suffer engage they simply freeze and flee. Unless the player is unfamiliar with these skills or is lagging, you can hardly get open to applying a full combo.
Giants play around their stun in an absurd area to grab.
revan x revan usually wins who has more skill or if there is a big difference in cp.

You haven't talked about the new Dark Knight class yet
Yeah ... Suffer similar problems to engage with nightfall and shadow flare. They are easily avoidable simply by running but unlike the revan DK has other skills that are useful during the fight like the Fury of Kama. Another class developed by a human being with IQ >>> 8000 that should be tactical and explosive but that you only see in quantity in bronze. Silver, gold and platinum I rarely find.

Is there resilience in the game?
Several times I have noticed that the CC recovery of some classes is much greater than others. I believe that everyone must have noticed while you are applying your combo correctly and your opponent simply runs away, while your character stays on the ground taking the complete combo. This has nothing to do with lag, it is something that is in the game. Another pearl from the devs.

Revan combo
for those who already played revan and against revan in the arena they realized that there were changes in the way of attacking and defending. That's because there is no basic combo for this class. She should be adaptive in the fight, but she doesn't have the tools for that.
Revan is a class made by a nerd full of theoretical proposals but that do not work in practice.
invencible initiation skill while casting? What?
Gold + Most experienced players don't even try to run, they just stand around waiting for the phantom crash. Dark shift rarely saves when you need it most because it suffers cc before the skill activates. Speaking of which, you need to make a choice when assembling your build for the arena: whether or not to put the two skills mentioned in the same combo. You guarantee 4 skills chain, however the final stun is not applied by the cc rules and in compensation you lose your main escape skill, because movement speed will not save you from taking cc. If you put in the other slot, the delay to switch from one to the other and click on the skill is not fast enough and you will be caught by the opponent's cc.

A little more about Revan arena

Normally to fit your combo you need to spend at least one dodge to decrease the space and avoid the first attack, if you try to use phantom crush now the chances of failing are extremely high. What forces you to take another dodge and from here is adaptive. Sometimes phantom crush works, sometimes it's better to use the dark shift first for a reengage with instant phantom.
At this point with a DK for example it is possible to dominate any class, they do nothing else. With a revan it is not possible.

PS.: Sry for bad english.
