Worst PvP Class Poll

[Danien]

Hard to choose between necro/ranger/mage.

Ranger DPS is still laughable (especially archery) and 2-handers are neither easy to get nor impressive once they're attained. The only thing they really got going for them is that they can outlast most classes in long drawn out fights, though being unable to finish their target.

Mages without epic are extremely limited but at least they can provide some degree of burst with current resists. I think of them as bad wizards.

Necros really lack strengths. Their spells take forever to cast and their burst is pretty bad. I guess they can hope to get the jump on someone or stack dots on multiple targets in mass pvp and hope they don't have cures/dispell...

I'd prob go with ranger being worst due to how useless they are in p much all situations when they dont have windstriker.

its not about not being able to target them, its not seeing them. u can fd into wall and barely have a pixel of your foot showing.

Definitely necro, on live their lifedrains were not nerfed like they are here, say deflux does 330, it would do the 66% damage, but would still heal for 330 in pvp. also their pets not being fear immune, and also being incapable of duel wielding is bad news.

Necro easily wins hands down

I took one to 40 and really enjoyed it as it's one of my favorite classes but anyone with a pumice can take you out easily

ENC is a good PVP Class if you're not dumb

and yes Necro actually is terrible in PVP

Well, the type of PVP (1 on 1, small group, mass scale) wasn't defined, and that changes what classes are good quite a bit. Enchanter is a good example, 1 on 1 they stink but even in a small group with burst DPS classes they can be devastating. Cleric is unkillable 1 on 1 pretty much but does that make them good? They can't really kill anyone either. But in a big fight they are huge.

I think overall necro is the class that is the weakest. The bolt changes helped mages a lot this last patch. Rangers with windstriker are awesome, without are probably near the bottom but not horrible in the right scenarios.

Necros have a burst dps issue, and every form of damage they have is curable/dispellable aside from their horrible mana ratio lifetaps which don't even heal you when they hit a rune.

Necros were one of if not THE best PVP class on live up through this era because of how much easier it was to resist spells. Their one advantage is almost all of their spells are either disease/poison or unresistable. Plus lifetaps healed when it hit a rune, and deflux spam against a wizard would keep you alive longer than them in most cases because they had to use lures over machine gunning draughts.

Enchanter is amazing in GRP pvp. Enchanter w shield is one of the most terrifying things to fight........I'm told [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Did the bolt fix help mages at all here or are people just going off of the old stuff: swords and rootgun nerf? Haven't been able to play but lobbing a few bolts at someone before they even realize what is happening sounds like a dream come true!
