How is the PvP?

Hey

So I am new to the game still figuring out which side to play on. I have tried an Order character and see that Destruction are always taking our points. Not sure if this is just in my area or is this how it is reflected everywhere. Is pvping pretty pointless due to Order just getting stomped all the time or is there a good balance.

Don't get me wrong I don't mind losing battles, but I like to think each side has an equal chance. And I know one side will always be stronger but when the strength is that one side uncontested destroys the other it seems pointless.

Thanks

Some of its a numbers game

Some of its team work

The strongest class on order in this tier is bw

Strongest for destro is most likely sorc. Everything else is just cover for those two classes to melt the enemy teams

NA PvP (Weeknights 6pm to Midnight Eastern timezone):

Dominated by organized destro in sc's. Order is atrocious. Takes five order healers to equal the output of one destro healer in sc. Same can be said of dps. Destro utilizes four and five man tank walls with token RDPS sitting 60+ ft behind nuking everything. Order is unfamiliar with what guard is / how tanks work. Most likely to see a front line token IB order player putting guard on a BW standing 70 ft behind him. Meanwhile chat order side will have the following:

IB to WL in sc: "dude you suck - get in there and dps. I can't kill anything up here by myself"

BW standing 70ft behind the lines: "I'm having zero issue putting out dps. this guard is awesome. Sure it doesn't actually work but the buff on my pure bar looks freaking sweet"

calling order players incompetent would be an insult to incompetence. Absolute destro rollfest.

if that is your timezone - good luck - you'll need it.

did you observer this as order player only? id suggest you play destro for some time. you might experience exactly the same and then be a bit confused ^^

How about you build groups instead of complaining?
Of course premade will run over pugs, destru or order.

The people who cry about pvp/balance are more or less never playing in a well organized group.
They get beaten by those premades-> "insert random complain here"

Edit: To answer the op, it doesn't matter which realm, if you play solo you will lose a lot more, if you play with premade you will mostly win.

Sadly - order is running some premade groups during this time. I've seen premades with premade tanks guarding their premade BW buddy... who isn't bombing. Destro NA is just more organized atm. This is a fact. There are a very slim few order premades that run... but even those are mostly not successful.

by the way captain obvious - If "building your own groups" were easy, then premades would be all you see. Finding six people who know what they are doing, coordinate on mic, and play proper roles to fill out a group... is much easier said than done.
