Dont really wanna PvP till we get get resolute defense, too many cocky sw's

I dont think pve gear really needs to drop in rvr. As soon as renown gear is added this will be a none issue.

I wonder if we will get those out of class renown abilities at all. The devs do seem to want to go back to the earlier days of war before everything was homogenized. Those renown abilities did take away the weaknesses that some classes were meant to have and really were in part responsible for the meleetrain endgame we ended up with.

Triial Blows for instance was just a bandaid for gear crit damage bloat. With endgame restored to how it was originally developed there wont be the need for those added renown abilities that really were there due to the reduced time tok ill in 1.4.6

But then their would be no solution or ways to deal with the utter cheese KD > self punt > snare > prancing kiting combo of shadow warriors

:/

SW are meant to dominate mdps thats the rock to their paper.

and the scissors to that paper is.....?

RDPS already dominate this game with the huge range that mythic gave them with self puts nd kd's and kb's it already annoying as it is, RD gave mdps a fair shot i my opinion besides like you said smart players can just wait RD out

The old end game was a lot more balanced. The scissors is getting a guard and heals.
If you balanced rdps and mdps for rvr then rdps is always going to have a big advantage solo.
Really the waiting out and surviving rd was only due to pockets. Another thing that altered balance and hopefully wont be in.

Yes lotd really **** **** up from the broken crit weps to the pocket times

If lotd comes back I hope only tyrant items can be gotten that to not BoP or BoE so we can trade them

As Telen said, if they build this game into what it was when rr80 was max, then there shouldn't be issues with balance. WF gear, imo, made the game REALLY boring. Certain pocket items and some renown abilities did too.
As for Shadow Warriors, honestly the scariest ones solo were the good Assault(melee) spec'd ones. Witch Elves, Marauders, and Choppas end game could crush Shadow Warriors solo if the SW was spec'd Scout or Skirmish heavy. This is of course speaking only on solo RvR instances though.

Just increase the drop rates on all mobs and players so people don't have to farm AS LONG. That's all I ask.
