WE - against WHs

[abezverkhiy1]

Thank you guys for your comments but I was hoping to see more constructive feedback rather than hatefest.

More interested to know tricks against fighting WHs rather than hearing same comments about broken and OP specs. We live in this reality, better deal with it, devs are not in a hurry to fix obvious gaps in balance, they are busy tweaking chosens.

CHAT GTP translation:

First of all, don’t ever play regen WE. That’s a noob spec and has no place in endgame content.

Land the first hit — that’s always ideal.
If you can’t and you get jumped, use Agile Escape to reset the fight.

When you see Repel Blasphemy (RB) go up, immediately use:
Potions
Absorb
Morale 1
Agile Escape
Detaunt if needed.

Positioning is key: whoever lands the first stun usually controls the fight. Always try to hit the enemy’s back as much as possible.

Counters:
Use Elixir of Shadows to counter Repel Blasphemy and M1.
I like to hold Elixir of Shadows to counter their Vanish — only use after the WH pops theirs.
Many WHs pop M1 when low on health — that’s your chance to finish them with Sever Nerve (1200 dmg) .

Tactics Loadouts: can switch while stealth to have advantage, I mean, opening up from stealth with TOB, BF, Swift Blades, Riposte on WH while they are on offensive setup its lots of adavantage.

TOB, BF, FM, Swift Blades
TOB, BF, Swift Blades, Riposte
TOB, BF, Swift Blades, Sacrifices Reward

any build can work actually, the best all around i would say is OYK + shadows,

Class Tools

WH have strong anti-melee tools (Repel Blasphemy, Seeker’s Blade).
WE has better stun potential (two hits from OYK).

Fight Philosophy:

It’s usually a battle of who makes fewer mistakes when both players have equal gear and skill.

Common mistakes:

Wasting multiple GCDs while the opponent is under M1 or RB.
Landing stun right out from stealth, try to sneak at least 1 gcd before stun.

Either play defense regen build and there is no way you should lose with equal gear

OR play with finesse and try to kite during repel blasphemy then go back in

It's not a very complicated matchup, usually whoever gets opener will win, unless you spam a bunch of abilities into Repel blasphemy and riposte, then you will lose. Most players will simply mez and run away rather than try to fight if they don't get the opener (on both sides of this matchup).
unless they are regen then they should just stand there and fight cus they win automatically

The disadvantage of not getting the opener is immense. Not only do you obviously start the fight way behind, but you also will be forced to use your knockdown from the front, which gives it a 20%+ chance of being parried. if this happens you basically lose the fight automatically, which is why most people just don't even take fights when they don't get opener.

Also I would not recommend trying to sneak in a gcd before knockdown if you get the opener, because a good player will be fast enough to turn around and KD you before you can get the 2nd gcd off. 1.5 seconds is a long time.
