I expect to eat bashes but with 101db I should dodge a few, the main problem is kick was created for absers to chase down fleeing dodgers and not as a tactic to keep channies from being able to weave at all.

dying is a part of the game and I am cool with that, all I ask is for us to find a balance so all classes are fun for pk. :)

Put a bit more thought into it next time and give it another go. Also a protip: combo gets bashed. If you want to dodge more, go dodge!

If there's something I could of done different to prevent that outcome then feel free to point out my errors.

If you pay attention to when/if you get kicked you can still get the second damage tier weave off if you respond quickly every time before a bash attempt goes off.

Combo is just pretty bad on channelers in general, especially when playing against abs bashers. Not to mention using chill against bashers (especially non-heavy weapon ones) is going to help in being able to get off weaves.

There's also a quicksand weave which is similar to bash that would then allow you to get off the longest damage weaves without fear of being bashed before. Keep in mind channelers are glass cannons.

You fought that entire time with an extra mob on you which splits your defense and is added damage as well.

And a huge thing is Kerian, in my opinion, is one of the most boring people to currently pk against on the game. I'd try a few pk sessions against other people who are more willing to make pk fun (take risks) before giving up on channelers.

But really, i've never really liked how the new kick works. You can time it between bashed rounds to get off an extra 5-8 dmg per round, which adds up to a lot. On another hand, I tried to bash her DG with Rhilor the other day and she dodged quite a bit, more than 65%, which isn't bad at all. That's without chill against me. Combo just never dodges anything except if you are lucky.
