Return of Reckoning

I find this hard to believe, 1 geared dps is enough to keep me on my toes, if i were to stand and tank them it is by no means easy mode, 2 dps and i need to really pay attention and it is a good possibility i will die if i dont kite. Healing to full health from 20% sounds like they used a big heal at max career mechanics and morale heal and a dot ticking at 200 on a geared player ? unless a string of crits i find this hard to believe.
You most likely didnt see the 2nd healer or the AM was benefiting from a bug.

This isn't a whine thread actually - this sounds like a legitimate bug with the DoT system. When working correctly, DoTs and HoTs should tick every 3 seconds, with some exceptions for shorter DoTs. It sounds like the system is now ticking every second for the full value of the DoT.

So what actually happened here is likely that the AM threw a bugged Lambent Aura, healed rapidly from it and killed them all with Law of Conductivity.

Havent noticed anything with hots and dots being buggy since the insane lifetap bug was fixed. For me hots and dots seem to be working fine.

I've seen melee good DOK's like Indor and Huntler take on more than 5 players and win.

I'm not disputing the soloing capabilities of a well-played DPS DoK; but its more a case of the 5 other players being bad, in my opinion.

or another possiblity in that their combat bugs didnt allow then to effectively put down a healer, with the bugged registration is hard to put on abilities and debuffs to stop the healer from negating your damage with their heals

Indeed, those enemies were horrible or didn't pay attention to their surroundings.

In most cases the player is only able to make profit of lacking abilities of his enemies. You can considering this being good but on the other hand it says nothing about the player skills.

I got raped by 4 lvls lower RP. Im a fully equiped choppa. Been playing choppa since it came out. I dont lack experience. I have never seen healers do so much stuff. True this was 1v1 but MAN COMMON!! Now as soon as I see a healer to go head on I just turn the other way.

Healers in t1 can outlive anyone 1 vs 1. Choppa in t1 does not have anything to deal with this. But this is TIER ONE, things gonna change in tier 2, tier 3, and especially in tier 4, where's good choppa can kill healer in a 3-4 hits, with heal debuff.

why dont the devs . . . i dont know . .. fix that? make things more balanced.

Archmage and Shaman are very OP in T1. Especially the AM. It is what it is. I did the same thing on live with less gear.

I dont think so. With still few snares and roots in game at t1, the increased base speed of goblins (shammy and squig) plays a lot in their favor, being the only 2 classes really able to dictate their range of engagement, and with their counter, the WH, still unable to fight in balanced terms with them. Its like this allways: snare till the goblin reach the mele distance, then u cant block his increased speed any longer, so u can hit it once, then u get placed again in RDPS range. Over and over again.

Dont misundertand me, the WH its not a bad class and is one of the few really balanced classes of the game, but not in t1. In t1 healers are the absolute kings without silences/roots/knockbacks/etc.... to interrupt them.

I see both them quite OP in t1, the shamie and the AM, no distintion.

What increased base speed?
Do you mean the speed tactic?
