i am agree with this, but have one question - why best gear for WE/WH is from RVR if they are worst class for it?This seems to pretty much regarding WE/WH and whine for the sake of whine, telling me they lose their "place" in warbands because of weird, poorly constructed aoe is farcical.
Its a light armoured, melee stealth class, its poor as a front line heavy traffic (zerg) fighter, it doesnt buff things but it does fulfill a significant role in small scale and Orvr functions, they are capable in warbands just less so than other classes.
There is no intent to shoehorn a class into filling every role, it doesnt work and creates more problems just like the AM/Shaman mechanic.
They are not unpopular, they do their niche spec more than adequately, they will never be the best class to take in zerg on zerg, such is life, not everyone gets picked first.
Swap it with lolsets from scenarios. 200+ armor bonus for paper armor? seriously? WL still debuff it near to 0.
Defensive WE/WH is a joke. Sets for scenario currency is pretend to be a defensive. Since there no absorbs like on live, all this -crit stats in set pieces is kinda joke.
Why even trying to make such sets? Our job is pure offensive.
