[DB] Suggestion for DB

So we are one week into the patch, and duskblade is... Horribly underpowered. The class designed specifically to take out ranged classes, and any idiot with half a brain can kill them. Pretty sure that wasn't the intention, but it happened. Balance on here is different, and always has been. People avoid shorter skill animations because they pay attention: Look at seeker's primal sacrificial slash - it's a 0.8 second animation, yet people avoid it with AD/pills/belief. And yet...

Primal Quadrature was removed.

Why? I understand the power of it is huge, but this is what allows duskblade to be effective against tankier targets. I'm pretty sure it wasn't necessary. The animation takes 3.3 seconds to cast, and as it is, everyone uses AD the second the first shadow clone appears. This is new content, and it already feels like it's lifespan is incredibly limited because nobody would give it a chance. People are smart enough to evade this skill - I feel that it should be allowed. Another good example (thank you Famine/Maxy) is assassin's Elimination. It's a 6 hit skill that hits incredibly hard - harder than quadrature.

So I suggest that Primal Quadrature be re-integrated into the duskblade's arsenal.

If this isn't an option, look at something else. But please don't let the new content go stale so early.

What class? Anyone with even the slightest savvy on pvp would know to AD or do anything to resist the damage the second the first clone appeared. If your genie is burned, you're likely to die anyways. Pills down? Same story. It's completely unnecessary. Also, if you're going to add commentary on the thread, I would ask that you state which class you are referring to. 'cause there's not a half chance in hell that DB will oneshot anything more than a self buffed EA or arcane.

The other thing to note is that quadrature has a 3 minute cooldown. It's far from spammable. It really isn't that OP. You could very easily add a defensive buff to r8 and it wouldn't ruin balance anymore.

edit: Since I know it's coming... This class was meant to be able to deal with and kill archers. Right now it mostly is like a fly being a pest than it is a threat. For the fifteenth million time... Archers do not need anymore buffs. Leave them as is.

To be honest I'm making discussion. I don't feel like I need anymore defense but an offensive boost as simple as allowing them a skill that's laughably avoidable is really simple. 

Also if you can't see the danger in allowing BM, an already top tier class a 7.5 second paralyze then I don't really know what to say.

I've played a server in the past where 0 pdef was removed. WF was still deadly. Don't see why this is an unreasonable request.

I have always been an advocate of all classes having their skills back as they rightfully should and I will continue to be. Quadrature should be back, and so should Dragon Rising, and Psychic Sage/Demon buffs.
So I will +1 The return of all skills.

There is no danger to it, in my opinion. If you were not planning to do anything about the stun anyway then there is no need to worry about this one either, because it is essentially is the same duration as our current stun. I am willing to discuss my points for  it if you want. I've got plenty of those.
