GCD Pvp Opinion

[XRAX]

A certain seasoned pvper lead me to this thread so ill give it a healthy bump. Regarding the op's post ill present a challenge. Remove the bias of "all classes were created equal before gcd" by not including the aforementioned expert pvpers. Now place an average bird against an average bear, pre-gcd. Without giving it much thought which class is MOST likely to win in an average situation, based on their arsenal of weapons and skills? Since the likely victor would be the bird, how is that balanced pre-gcd? Sounds pretty unbalanced to me to the same degree to which an average dex mage can defeat the average bird post-gcd.

Actually, if you have experienced PvP at a high end level, you would know that the average bear would annihilation an average bird before GcD, any day of the week; no competition there. The high armor of the bear and the beckon + slashes + stomp combo would take out a bird EVEN if the bird unloaded his whole arsenal arrows. You had to be smart before to take out a fury bear and actually apply strategy skill you gained from the experience within the arena.

PvP was relatively well balanced before. 10-fold more than it is now. Every class had a more or less equal chance of killing the other class, given that you were skilled enough.
