i spent an entire nordenwatch being ganked by krima at the lighthouse i think, IT was fun fighting and i like to think i almost had her a few times.

I guess if you play slayer and spec your renown points and tactics to deal with them in particular they would be a lot easier But i dont think a lot of people do that.
what do you mean by ...they just vanish ? are u talking about that cast-stealth ?

Not joking, you have a lot to learn to play as WE, as a WE YOU search the fights, so learn the enemy ways, learn the enemy skills and avoid the mainroads.

spec crit, parry, RD and CW

WE/WH have the best detaunt of all melee DDs; a player who utilizes that should be way easier to heal than the common slayer/choppa, who have the worst detaunt and are also affected by a bug that makes them even more squisher than normal (8689).

Additionally the detaunt prevents a lot of damage to the tank (as long as it is running, the tank won't get guard damage).

There are 3 class that destro complain about
1)White Lion 2)Engineer 3)Shadow Warrior
You a Witch ELf are primary/easiest target for ALL OF THEM.
Remember this, your detaunt is non-range and all 3 of them can CC you from range and kill you.
Witch Elf is hard places now, my suggestion is either get a WE friend in rvr , get a premade gp or play some other class.

Dump all your RR into dodge/disrupt there is a few jewls that give +2% dodge, anih boots / its possible go up to 30% it helps a bit vs rdps...who needs parry when most meele tons on order has many undefendable atacks.

oh please, SWs and Engis and BWs are the easiest prey for a well played WE. (that is unless they manage to jump you and have numerical superiority)

it's the WLs ruining the fun of playing a WE for me, SWs drop easily (use anti CC), BWs hardly present a problem (pop anti disrupt) and Engis are so fat and suck at running they die often enough. WL and their shitty pounce + impossibility of facing both the player AND pet and parrying both; this kills the hag. The amount of good and spooky Whs is also minuscule these days, and most slayers don't perform at all without a healer+guard; they are a minor threat, nothing compared to the Pounce of Death.

For solo ganking this is the build.

http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=we; ... 1:;0:0:0:0:

Put all your rr points into melee crit first, at rr45 you can max melee crit from renown.

Get full annihilator gear or 5p BL (Helm,cloak,jewel,pocket,chest), 2p anni/ruin (shoulders,gloves), 2p conq (belt and boots), any 1-2% crit dagger.

The rotation is stealth opener(ES)+PA - FP+EoIP - HS - AWx1-2 - Puncture.
Ideally you want to kill the target before they get up from HS and sometimes improvisation is needed.
You will kill pugs before they realise what happend.
