is radiance in pvp just absolutely disgusting??

[Usagiza]

title, pretty much. this isn't really me complaining, just trying to get a pulse on the game's (rather unbalanced, it seems) meta. that pieta lightsaber people use all the time does at least a quarter or half my health in a single hit, and the spell that summons two light clones to either shoot lasers or do a downward swing kills me instantly. is radiance incredibly busted??

The Devs clearly favored Radiance over everything else. Radiance is vastly overpowered in comparison to the other types of Magic. Literally can summon a lightning bolt that chases people for 10 seconds. Just spam that a couple times and they will eventually die after running out of stamina. Radiance needs a nerf, or new spells need to be introduced to the other magic types to balance it out.

alright, after reading these replies (and playing a whole bunch of pvp today), i can safely, absolutely, agree with clientofwar lol. radiance is completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ - i've been sniped through walls with instant kill lasers and blended to death by a short sword with the range of a spear one too many times to keep trying to do this.
until a balance patch hits, pvp is just a radiance one shot fest, and it's completely miserable to try to fight with anything else

Radiance, Umbral, Inferno they all have equally the same type of spells just looks different

Overall Radiance is busted overpowered for no reason compared to the others when they act the same way as Radiance half the time.

I get one shot by Blessed Reflections a lot of the time, thinking I can dodge their twin laser move. You either can't or I don't got the timing figured out just yet. Could also try blocking it, might need to switch to a holy resist heavy shield though.

I tried Umbral and Radiance builds, radiance has by far the better spells IMO.

Nah, I just leave when I see laser swords, that tells me what's coming, you don't have to Alt + F4, just go back to main menu and try another invasion, or the same if you get invaded.

l-learn to counter something that shoots through walls and one shots you, and with a laggy connection could hit you 30 feet away and still kill you instantly???
im not going to be rude but yes, "nerf" is absolutely needed, it's beyond ridiculous. and i don't want to be forced to change my *entire* build to counter meta spamming.

Getting one shot by a beam through walls, learn to counter explain how?
Lv118, highest defense you can have, it was a rhetorical question of course.

Radiance is easy mode PvE and busted meta PvP.

[Torv]

Sure, Radiance magic is powerful, but it’s nowhere near the God-crafted crossbows that burst fire elemental AOE arrows that 2-shot anything in a 5 meter radius. You don’t even have the time to finish the animation cast for any of those Radiance spells before you hear “SFEW SFEW SFEW” and you’re dead.

the attact speed of the sword is questionnable, especially since it got almost as much range than a grandsword
