Hm, i don't know where to start here:hohomen wrote:Spoiler:
1. The videos show only the renown bolster buff in RvR, not the second bolster for lvl 45 (RR100), so they were taken before this was patched.
This means that depending on the time they were taken, there could be a difference for up to one level per renown rank (RR100 = level 60 as it was introduced) or one level per 4 renown ranks (RR100 = level 45 patched later).
So RR80 vs RR92 could be level 40 vs level 52 in these videos (not even talking about procs on sets...).
The whole WL video seems to be like from before the fix to RR100 = level 45.
2. These videos show selected gameplay. You don't know how many times the players died in similar situations (e.g. no luck with crits etc.)
3. Kiting around de-stealthed witch elfs on a SW is not the great art. Also you don't know anything about the individual playerskill of the enemies in these videos (e.g. chosen on 4:20 in the WL video seems to be a key turner).
4. I wasn't even talking about 1vs1 situations, i was talking about their basic role in a group:
tank = supporting/protecting group members
dps = burst damage and debuffs that actually kill targets that get support by the enemy
heal = ...
You can try to compare the SMs group support with stuff that others have and see that his only special ability he brings to the table is "whispering wind"...
You can form a group with two WLs as DPS and try to kill anything in the enemies group without an incoming healdebuff...
You can compare the burst damage capability of a SW with a BW over 10 seconds...
You can compare the AM with any other healer and see that he sucks hars as a healer...
