I got wrongly assigned and need to be moved. Assigned Team: Griffonfall Original Home: Fort Ranik [FR] Guild :C R O W S [CROW] Issue: I should be on First Haven with the others.

Here's the thing. To people who play this game like it's their job, the PvP can be learned and yes, I suppose you can argue that it's all upto player skill. Which is how it should be. But I am a returning player, and I am joined by a bunch of entirely new players. And 'getting good' in this game is nearly impossible. Why? Because you can't see what the hell is going on and you can die in 3 seconds flat. When I played this game back before HoT and shortly after, the time to kill was average. You had some time to react, Some opportunity to counter and if you lost, you had an idea - however vague - of what happened. You didn't see the shatter, you used your stab too soon, your boons got converted. So you knew what to look out for and slowly you could improve. Now? F'ck off with that, now if you're new, you die in an explosion of particles in several seconds, most likely chain CC'd even with a break free and you get sent back to spawn with no clue about what in the hell you could have done better or what even killed you. I used to duel a lot, and each duel lasted a fair bit. From each one, I learned something. When to attack eles, when to dodge and what to dodge. Now in duels I get chain CC'd and deleted in the blink of an eye and my recap tells me almost nothing. Amidst an ocean or particle effects, I see nothing. Boom you took 12k+ damage in 0.5 seconds. Better luck next time. Time to kill is way too low for people to learn, is my point. We have all the right to complain about this PvP.

I just played one for a bit and was really annoying while just spamming skills off cooldown. I was constantly dazing people, healing allies, becoming unkillable, Dotting people up, snaring them, chilling them, all while running around with silly powerful stats and no clue as as to what half my skills do. Even a weaver who was clearly very skilled had to work to kill me. Ended up doing 300k+ damage, 200k healing and dying only twice coz it was 3v1. Better than on my guard that I've played for years. I think I figured out what Weaver's weakness is. Being grievously outnumbered while not having a clue what you're doing or fighting a better Weaver.Man, what a bullshit class. Guess this is what happens when you have a class that can do everything and then give it a spec that can do everything while doing everything else. Rerolling, I guess.

Can somebody please explain what their weakness is because I can't find it. Everything I do gets either dodged, blinded or they're just invulnerable somehow. CC doesn't work on them, conditions don't seem to stick either and they daze and knock me around even when I have break frees. I haven't played in 5 years and back when I left, D/D Celestial Ele was a god because they'd just rotate spells and stack every type of boon until you eventually dropped. I played it too because it was so EZ and broken. Weaver seems worse, with just plain invulnerability, barrier stacking and interrupts. Help please. I play Core Guardian, which I hear was nerfed hard and I don't exactly feel like jumping the bandwagon and going firebrand. Just know what they can't do or when to pressure them would help because right now, it feels like they're gods in most BG's I see them in.
