AMs are like Magi; play them well in the end-game, and your looks won't have to count for ****.

Yeah "your friend" told "you" that the AM is better than the shaman and the order is better than the destruction and its not you making **** up.

You need to put more points into the "deceit" mastery, your skills are poor at it.

Ams dont have anything for topping RP as duo healer with wp for 6v6. Yea good ST heal, RP got that too + muuch more synergy with wp and buffs for the grp.
On other hand shamans are much harder to kill compare to zealots. Only for that reason can be picked instead of zealots. RR100 changed balance abit and cos deftard gear make the game much more pointless at that lvl but at rr80 shaman >>>>>> am for 6v6 fights

Healing AM's can't move. Make them do it, and they can't heal themselves well let alone anyone else. The insta cast heals are not enough to over come the damage possible at the higher levels.
As for people who are so kittened about pounce. Keep moving. We can't pounce to a moving target. We pounce to where you were. Also, stand on a rock. It had issues with terrain in the live version, so I suspect it is still there. Or, just AP drain the crap out of the WL. For a sustained fight, white lions tend to run at an AP deficit. Drain that, and watch a very frustrated person not able to do anything for a few seconds.

their are no terrain issues with pounce here in RoR, if their were wls wouldnt be able to pounce on top of keeps, the ablity is/works x10 better here than it was on live

If they are pouncing to the top of keeps, that needs to be reigned in. Gives me horrific thoughts of Pit of Shades being cast in the top floor of keep and wiping whole warbands at the bottom. Lovely z axis problems early in the live version.

Their AP drains are exact mirrors.

Pit of Shades like Rain of Fire are weak aoe skills. The issue on live before it got fixed was their stacking behavior.

They are weak against groups with proper setups, or just 2 healers at least. But when you are defending a keep as a sorc/BW and you run into a PUG warband that has groups with bad or just no healers it can be extremely devastating, and you can also use it out of line of sight in the lord room with no risk to yourself, unlike SS/FB.
