Return of Reckoning

Based on your experience, what is the hardest Order matchup (class and spec) for a:

• Defensive WE ?

• Offensive WE ?

Assume pure 1vs1, equal skill and BiS gear. No interference from RvR whatever the duel length. Also assume that WE opens from stealth.

I know that I am asking for opinions, so be warned that you may disagree with other respondants. But it's ok, I'll forge my own opinion by myself.

Ironbreaker Shield spec w some regen and Oathstone vs both off and deff witch elfs she wont land enough hits to take him down.

As a full glass WE its the WL, only class that has better burst than me. I have to be perfect to have a chance, no missed cooldowns, no kd to early or late, need all 3 pots and need a lot of crits. All others I can get away from fairly easy.

You can make for WL the same def spec as Witches does and it will be still viable vs them

Sure but no, I can not stand def specs so I will take my deaths to get some really fun kills.

+1 for WL

I'm a full glasscanon, or even crystal bomb WE. Most class I find either easy, or equal. You have a lot of tools to counter defensive abilities (disrupt bump, KD from afar, fast run, etc)
but WL, damn, can't make it, I don't use all three pots (no absorb) so maybe there's that...

Def tank i don't find too hard, but I don't try that much... Knowing that on every fight I have a high chance that order shows up sooner rather than later, I often won't start a fight that I know will last more than 30s.

Wl or 2h ib

Mind if I ask a bit here?

what is the WE expirience vs DPS heals RPs/AM/WP ?
and also what about aSW do they still exists?

dps RP nowadays with 3 pots, if i pop, if i remember correctly i won mostly,

if im being attacked from 100ft and im unable to react instantly it could easily kill me, or if some pots (or stealth, disrupt etc) are on cd

dps AM, depends on player 50-50, more if i start the fight and everything is off cd, they hit insanely hard

dps WP or dok, i win way less, mostly depends on player or a bit of a luck how i can disable the selfheal channel, they tend to parry an awful lot.

When spec and gear was semi def with 600ish toughness and some regen with 900+ str and witchbrew, it was much easier

If oathstone is still bugged then IB.
