Something has changed.....

[Energizeric]

I'm not sure what it is, but something has changed in PvP with regard to warriors in the past few days. They hit much harder than they did.

For the past month or two, I never had any problems with warriors. Yes, I could be beat by a warrior 1 on 1, but I could also beat many warriors. For a warrior to beat me it took quite some time as they didn't hit very hard.

Now I'm having an issue where warriors kill me in 2-3 hits very quickly. I haven't changed anything about my build. I'm an end game full mythic sorcerer with 2900 health and always have my shield up, yet 2-3 hits from most end game mythic warriors and my shield is broken and I'm dead. And when there are 2 warriors on a team, it doesn't matter if it's 4 on the other team vs. 2 warriors, the 2 warriors are winning the battle every time.

The result of this is my KDR in TDM had been about 3/1, but over the past few days it's about 1/3. I don't even think I'm very good anymore, but I haven't changed anything. In fact, I added a mythic ring which I did not have a few days ago, so I expected to do better, not worse. So I'm not really sure what the issue is.

Am I the only one who has noticed this?

Just spent about a half hour in PvP and result was 6 kills and about 40 deaths. This has been typical for me the past few days. Something is very odd.

Idk wvills,pug group and I had a pretty good time this morning taking out a group of "classic" warriors all with mythic an arcane. It wouldn't be right for sts to implement a change like that without telling us. Unless there's something those warriors know that we/you/sts doesn't.

Also if your like me, I have good days.. then there's the bad days.

The bael sword when procs completly disables ur armor I believe. ..haven't tested

[iluvataris]

O ya I've heard it stacks per swing. Idk about in pvp.

And I don't think I've fought a warrior with bael weapon yet.

[Energizeric]

Of course we all have good days and bad days. But prior to the last few days, my "bad days" were still positive KDR, just not as good as usual. I would do bad when I put myself in bad situations, such as being outnumbered or against a good team with lousy teammates. Now I'm having problems 1 on 1 vs warriors. Not to say that I am normally invincible. But normally I put up a decent fight. Now I'm getting chopped down the way I normally chop down players with crate gear. 5 seconds into the fight I'm dead.

I does seem a bit inconsistent though. Some games I do just fine, but then others it's like I described. It's as if there is some new glitch that only certain players know, and when they know it they can kill me very quickly with little effort. Kind of reminds me of that glitch that existed for warriors in season 2. I wonder if there is not something new like that now.

maybe you have on luck amulet

[iluvataris]

Hmmmm meditate on this, I will.

[Carapace]

aside from the addition of the elite rare spawn there has been no class specific adjustments. I'd be curious to hear if you have any other findings in this regard as it does seem odd.

The same filling bro.

[FluffNStuff]

Probably noobs.

[Energizeric]

LOL, this happened to me once back shortly after they released the luck amulet. At least an hour went by before I realized. It just seemed like I had a really really bad day, then suddenly I realize I have 450 less health and about 20 less dmg LOL. But now I always check that before entering PvP, so that's not it.

I believe it's the axe throw skill that's glitchy and does armor reduction much greater than 10% that's supposed to do. Everytime I'm hit with it even with shield on, two hits are enough. I think this skill needs to be nerfed. Stuns, reduces armor, pulls from like 15m, reduces critical chance and damages. Imo it's unfair.

[Energizeric]

I'm not sure what it is, but I went from a player who was pretty much unbeatable and was having games where I would get 15 kills with 1 death, and now I struggle to get 3 kills and die 8 or 10 times. Same build, even better gear (I've since added a mythic ring), and much worse results.

Are the players beating you vets or noobs? Do they have the same gear as your used to? Are they using the same skills as you are used to?

[OvigorothO]

Are these players who've previously been destroyed by you who now destroy you or completely different players? Don't count out the fact that some players just don't have as much skill as others. Most of the time the players with least skill are most common and you've just been running into the skillful ones a lot more lately?

Hard to say. I think that may be part of it. It seems like most players have stopped doing pvp and now mostly the pros are who are playing. But yes, there are players I used to beat that are now beating me. Maybe they have improved their gear, maybe they just got better. IDK. It just happened so suddenly, and it seems to be specifically warriors. There are only a small handful of rogues that can really challenge me.

[Soundlesskill]

I actually agree on this. Axe throw takes around 30% of my 2,9k HP.
A few days ago i was practicing 2v2, and someone interruped. The other team had to interfere and kill the people interfering. The warr accidentally hit me a few times and suddenly i was seeing red, like after 2-3 hits :/
He was full mythic no hammer of course, but :s
