Aight this was the last straw. Dunno what the hell changed in pvp if anything. But first you made my mages freeze pretty much worthless so i figured id try monk. I was having a blast on monk. Losing just as many matches as i won. But it was very fun.
Well i just hopped on to give the ole pvp a go again. My first 3 matches are against all warriors. All different people. Couple of things i noticed during these three fights. The dreaded varju, vortex, fist of bye bye combo barely takes them to half health now. Ok thats fine. It was a powerful combo. Then the total * starts. ALL 3 of the warriors could one shot me with dash. It didnt matter if they were at full health or not. At bare minimum it took 75% of my hp every time, or just plain killed me. Im an 11k monk. That should not be the case.
Now i can definitely see why so many monks are running. A warrior sneezes and i die. Ridiculous. But i will not become a runner. I want to pvp for fun and its been ruined so im done with pvp until something changes.
And yes i could just try with my warrior but honestly ive always been the most bored with him. And honestly from the warriors ive seen fight it looks boring as hell. Run around, angle in for a dash, parry 47 times, dash again, oh mebbe ill try a whirlwind, weeeeee. Or thats the pattern i see most anyway lol.

By playing pretty frequently, I can get to rank1 and then just stay there due to lag/better player/etc.. but I will still not get any rewards worthy of all the time spent getting to 100ish on the leaderboard.
AP is nice for the gems, which is the only thing realistically attainable without playing more and/or buying extra tokens to get more runs. The only use I have for the rest is get it on my warrior (who is level 26 lol) to save for when he gets to 44 and can use the offerings for easy farming gear.
I have my issue with balance as well, but as long as people buy gems for arena tokens I don't see anything changing.
I would just hop on my warrior, but I don't think I'd do much bettet since it doesn't have a murdermaker yet.
I may have to switch back to fighting with my 12.6k GS warrior now.
I noticed some changes, mage seems way more vulnerable against wars too (been PvPing with monk this season, only have a couple of fights with her).. The tornado now seems to be completely unavoidable and if I'm not mistaken (didn't pay close attention), the CD on blink has been raised or I'm losing my mind lol
Monks are annoying because they are too hard to hit, but still way more balanced than mages. Warriors are only good if they know how to parry correctly, and only dash is useful. NEVER have I managed to hurt mage or monk with whirlwind - only warriors, because u can easily jump/teleport from it.
Mage can't blink if you start hitting him with whirlwind, and that's a pretty much guaranteed kill..
Regarding monk, I keep getting my stun parried by the war's passive skill, which with dash hitting so hard is my COD a lot
This isn't PVP.
PVP done well is awesome, in its current form EW3 PVP is a joke.
No issue losing a fair fight, but having someone hit you once or twice then run around doing everything possible to avoid PVP is rather tragic, also fedup with seeing my combo increasing but no HP being taken.
I would have preferred guild vs guild. Take 5 players from each guild, and have there be a map, like in LoL. Everyone has 3 lives. This would make things fun.
I shouldn't have to pray for an honorable opponent in PvP.
Great idea. Or at least random groups of 2, 3, 4, 5; not necessarily guild-only.
And yeah i havent pvp'd since i made this post. Other games are pulling me away from this game easier and easier every day.
Which ones? Looking for another game to pass time on
Still playing some EW3, but mostly to level my war, mage is fully stuffed and hoping for some more high-end content..
I only hop on now to help out with guild tourney. Pvp has gone to ****, new stages were a joke, they cant even offer different dailies to shake things up, lotus tower is utterly worthless, tournaments are the same thing over and over again (no imagination), the only new gear they offer is only obtainable with a minuscule chance to get it on a spinning wheel, and its the same stats as what we have already. Oh or they put in a boss to win it with an extremely unbalanced loot system. The list goes on and on. But as long as people keep paying nothin will change.
Leaving the above to the side for a moment, as a warrior, my fights have been almost 50/50 for W/L. I have had my dash do some serious damage, perhaps as much as 50% on another warrior, and had the same done to me, but for most mages/monks I face, the dash doesn't connect. Last two fight I had were against a mage and a monk. Dash hit them, slid them backwards and slammed them into a wall for... no damage.
If my warrior is all-powerful, I can't wait to see it. And now I think I know what I'll say in my mind every time I do a whirlwind...

I was on the other end of this. Got my **** spanked by someone 3k +gs, almost double the hp and every other stat. Once he noticed that he wasnt getting hurt, the guy literally danced around under my Orb as I launched volcanoes up his ****. Then his Orb killed me in 2 strikes.
GGGGLLLLUUU!!!!????? IS ANYBODY HOME ? WHAT ...... THE...... F........ IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION? !?!
One of these major gaming sites, magazines or shows needs to sit down with Niccolo de Masi just like his interview for the Google Glass game and get some answers for all of us. Start the interview with a very stern open hand slap to the back of the head like dad use to do. Mess his hair up a little bit. Then proceed with interroga.... I mean interview.
I'm a 12.1k warrior, got paired with 10 folks under 10k GS, the lowest was 7786 GS (sorry javen!). The lowest I had before the update on sa****ay was 10139 GS. Certainly not fair for the other guy.
