Well, I finally leveled up to 26 and decided I would do some PvP for the first time since before the Kraken Isles expansion. My record prior to this was 2500-1700, but I'm actually better than that as I was 500-600 at one point, and obviously much better since that time.
So in about 20 minutes I got 4 kills and died about 20 times. I can literally land hundreds of hits on opponents for a period of 5 minutes and not get a single kill. Battles with warriors are the worst. It feels like there is really no way to kill them. In fact, this is of great concern since 3 out of every 4 players in PvP is a warrior. I used to leave the game when I saw that and find a different game. But this time I changed games about a dozen times over a half hour before I finally played one, and they were all the same.... 3-4 warriors on each side, a rogue here and there, and maybe one other mage besides myself. It was all warriors. It used to take 15-20 hits to kill a warrior, but now I'm thinking it may take 50. And of course there is no way to survive that long.
It did not feel like warriors were hitting any less hard than before. Once that windmill started going I would become stunned and that was all. No way to escape it. Rogues don't one-hit me anymore. Now they just take about 80% of my health on that first shot. And so I can usually beat them as I'm able to stun them after that time and finish them off. So my 4 kills were all rogues. But the warriors I was not able to kill, not even once.
I'm going to play some more today, but if this continues I guess I will just go back to PvE and forget about PvP. It's a shame because I need the PvP achievements to compete for top sorcerer. Maybe I'll just concentrate on PvE kills and get a flag for that leaderboard.
