SW no longer has kd in op line - scoutAurandilaz wrote:WL will reach its peak at rank 40, so just be patient, all classes have issues at lower ranks.
Though SW is very solid pick for 6man and solo as well, thanks to having ranged KD. BW also has one rKD, but has problems with killing itself due to career mechanic.
Destro has SH, which is similar ranged dps like SW, but has to manage pet like WL, which can make it very awesome when properly utilized.
WE/WH can solo easy, but less so for 6v6 due to plethora of various reasons.

Re: Solo Class - that also can 6v6
Why you dont consider tanks? they are pretty nice for jobs decribed by you. And can easly fit any of 4 spots in premade, even with only swaping gear set - w/out respecing. Its a lot easier to collect required gear fo both roles. Maybe its just my individual observation but Order definitely has got too many "pro" SW, engis and BWs.

Re: Solo Class - that also can 6v6
While there are a lotta tank builds that won't lose a fight in plenty of 1v1 matchups, they aren't usually great at solo roaming in RvR in my experience. Most don't have enough CC and mobility to catch the enemy when they decide to flee, and they can get kited pretty easily. SCs are a different story, a tank spec'd for it can hold down a flag very well in the SCs where that is an option.Telperien wrote:Why you dont consider tanks? they are pretty nice for jobs decribed by you.

With recent removal of Resolute, tanks have all possible CC - snare, root, knockdown, knockback, kind of selfheal. With AP pots and speed proc weapon can be very mobile. Actually are v good for solo roaming, cause are tough, can survive a lot, v often enough for help to show up, but also have descent Time to KIll (maybe except ktbs).

The WL has pounce and a pull making it extremly viable in solo and group play. As for group play you have AA haste, armor bypass abilities, medium armor, and perma snare.
Re: Solo Class - that also can 6v6
Nice to know that WL peaks at rank 40. I stopped played because mine got owned all the time, but I can see I just have to keep going

Most tanks can use flee + pot to catch nasty RDPS. However you'll need huge killing power and so far I've only managed to do anything with SM. I'd imagine Blorc can do something similar but they lack the 2h channel defensive, maybe others can chime in. I've definately faced good solo Choppas. If they stack morale gear they can get m1 very quickly which is a huge bubble.
IB takes a while because of grudge and cant flee+ pot because you lose all grudges. I'd personally prefer BG as they have the tactic which ignores detaunt allowing you to shrek squishies.
Chosen/Knight rely on passive auras so dont lose anything with a flee+pot.
2h Subjugator weapon is a godsend with its 20% speed proc.
WL is the absolute GOAT solo roamer. I've only ever had problems with tanks due to attrition (long kill times). Guardian spec is built for destroying everything which attacks you solo. I'm sorry Nicelook.

Re: Solo Class - that also can 6v6
BO has really good burst but if your key skills gets parried (nothing worse when DYG or a THC chain gets parried) or if the person has half a brain to interrupt your THC then you’re not going to last long. BO also has no good way to sustain itself which is a big factor in 1v1 or 1vMany. Wounds bellow is garbage, selfheal tactic is garbage, ironically your bubble is now more suited to group play now but also still garbage. Your defensive channel is shield only (so frontal cone only) and imposes a 60% self snare.Osred wrote:Most tanks can use flee + pot to catch nasty RDPS.

I’ve seen some brutal SM solo bubble specs and BO definitely does not have anything like that. I think having a way to sustain yourself is much more important than just having damage which is really all the BO has going for it solo.
