Loving PVP this Patch!

Nobody's said anything positive, so I will. I really, really like PVP this patch!
I think the changes to Battle Spirit were perfect. Players seem to be forgoing tankiness in favor of primary stat in order to offset the nerf to heals, and also overcome the added mitigation. Mission accomplished!
Combat was feeling really stale, but the new sets have added dynamics that make things feel fresh again. Players are learning that standing close to your group isn't always the best idea with Dark Convergence and Hrothgar around. Plaguebreak actually makes me check to see what debuffs are on me before I cleanse, and whether I need to move away from my group.
Lastly, I'm seeing players get creative and experiment more with their builds, instead of just relying on the cookie-cutter BiS flavor-of-the-month. This, to me, is the best thing about this patch. I credit this to the new sets, but also to the armor changes. Builds aren't pigeon-holed to light or medium armor anymore, which opens up so many possibilities.
Props to the devs for making pvp interesting again!

Marcus_Aurelius✭✭✭✭✭Can I ask where you play?
In GH EU most of the players are using Dark Convergence and you spend half of your time dodge rolling from one to another.
It become stale after a little while.12 -
propertyOfUndefined✭✭✭✭✭I play on the NA server and have been running battlegrounds and imperial city all week. A lot of players are using it, but few actually use it effectively. Usually I just mist form to a safe distance, then counter attack. It is also easy to avoid completely when you know it’s coming and keep track of the cooldown on the caster. I have been having a blast

"Keep track of the caster" isn't really possible if you're fighting outnumbered and an entire zerg has the set equipped.
One of the many differences between BG and small-scale IC and Cyrodiil that impact the relatively obnoxiousness of the new sets.6 -

✭Completely agree with this post. The new sets bring new life into pvp. All three of the sets have the exact same counter play: social distance from your teammates. But almost nobody social distances and so we get to enjoy obliterating muppets with the new sets.Ali Dreadsabre -Necromancer

There is no difference. BGs are extremely ruined with Hrothgar. To the less extend, Dank Convergence on sorcs & harmony necros.
This may be the worst meta ever existed. At least in proc set meta we had bunch of choices. Now, people run Hrothgar on tanky characters. You can't kill em solo even on most damaging build. They nuke you with chills if you dare to group up on them. The proc is exactly at the point of burst, during the stun from leap/DoS/dizzy. Only way to win this strat is to fight cancer with cancer and do the same.
And not to mention that I've got hit by 12k multiple times this day. That's x1.5 the amount old Caluurion's did, the strongest single-target burst set with higher cooldown and worse trigger.7 -
