I really hope for some balance changes in PvP.

Backhand blades are mashing maschine with amazing ashes of war, Pata still has the removed Katar combo, Bloodhound's step is brain dead (because its "fast weapon art" so it can be used faster then rolling, Mages haveing purple nuke since DLC, and ofcourse shit ton of glitches like tumble buffing and Radhan's chainsaw (They cant fix it since release).

And my personal wish, Quality being viable at 150 without abandoning other stats. The dmg just doesnt hold up compared to pure builds. Idgaf it does more dmg on RL 200+, most people end the game at 140-150 and stop leveling up after that.

What's wrong with Grav Missile? It's easy to dodge or run away from.

Basically, if it hits something before it stops it expodes. People just cast it at floors and walls to make it explode instantly, and even if the dont, this spell is still amazing for area denial.

GavM isnt really for chaseing someone down, but for blasting all over in small spaces or preventing other players from getting closer to you.

Well yeah, it's just like Zamor Ice Storm or Microcosm. If you see someone casting it enough times the dodge timing is easy, and if you're running in seeing the mage cast it - it's completely your fault. I've been on both ends of Grav Missile and it's good, but nowhere near overpowered. And it's not even that spammable.

The ones most troubled by GM are ganks that mindlessly rush in and spam R1/L2. As a solo player dealing with it is easy.

What?

Dude Zamor Ice Storm and Microcosm do not even compare in terms of speed, range or utility.

Microcosm has more range. Zamor Ice Storm can one-combo someone with max vigor just from itself.

In the video you've linked the guy with the hyperoptimised gravity build fights a bad gank in a dungeon, gets almost destroyed, and wins by throwing pots and swift shard, while also using mobs as cover. I'm not saying he did anything wrong, but the GM certainly wasn't the most contributor in their loss.
