Still wish it though Hmm.....maybe. Oh and me dying in 3 seconds is after I had died due to using all my DCDs and surviving lol, my bad for not explaining that.I guess it just might be the armor reduction stat that is bothering me.

Again, the problem is probably that people tend to focus you more when you HP is below 129k, because they assume you are not geared and therefore less skilled. The actual stat's are not really different, but you are much more likely to be the first to be targeted in those situations (especially arenas) so it feels like a big difference. But as a merc, think of it as practice for being a jug or pt in full 248 gear, you'd get targeted first if you played that class too

Ah, well any class being attacked by a bunch of enemies with no healers after they've popped all their DCD's should die after 3 secondsAgain, the problem is probably that people tend to focus you more when you HP is below 129k, because they assume you are not geared and therefore less skilled.

A bunch of folks (Trixie included) wanted it at 248 gear (not an option they gave when they polled us), but BW felt they needed a carrot to get a large enough population to PVP. And while I only have anecdotal evidence (but clearly BW agrees), at least for myself and many of my guildies in all 3 of my guilds, the gear is a big carrot to make us PVP more than we would, and the population isn't high enough to sustain those who would do it without a carrot (i.e. it is better to have pops every 5 minutes because a bunch of people are going for gear than it is to have a pop every 20 minutes of only those doing it for "skill vs skill") Dragonslayer Mitthendil the Revanchist - Mercenary ||
