Just curious how the meta of this style of play has shifted. Is it still capable 1vX? Spamming dodge roll was lame but how are you surviving outnumbered engagements now?

Both my v14 classes seem to be taking survivability nerfs this patch.

The playstyle has definitely changed. You have signficantly less stamina regen now and bashing/blocking/breaking free unless separately bound will all stop your stam regeneration and reset your next "tick" by 2 seconds.

You're going to have to make adjustments but 1vX is still very doable....but more difficult than it was in 1.6

I am still able to roll out of stuff, particularly projectiles and gap closers. I was doing this with great success last night in the Memorial district of IC. Also you will want Rally and Vigor to help with this. I think within a 1 hour span of playing my NB on PTS last night my K/D was like 60/8. Which is not too bad considering all of the fights were 1vX and that X included mobs and that nasty SOB named Boss that drops circles everywhere. F him by the way.

Ok well that's good to hear. It just seems like they keep taking away things that make 1vX possible and eventually it will be zerg or die. My enjoyment comes from the challenge of 1vX. The day its not possible, I'm gone.

Thanks for the replies.

Only if you block something I think :P

I'm lucky to get 2 or 3 kills for 1 death, but then again I've just been running headlong into groups and paying to regard no mobs.

I forgot to ask if anyone has any footage, can't find any on the tube.

No I have not recorded any PTS footage yet. I thought I did last night (the reason I logged on in the first place) and apparently I forgot to load Shadowplay. I hit my hotkeys and everything, after about 2 hours of play I realized I goofed ;( Anyhow, pvp is a shitshow regardless, just log in and go to the temple district or memorial district, you will see

The 1vx isn't nearly what it was in 1.6, and it's doable in Imperial city, but I'm worried to how it will translate into open world. I think the timer on the Dodge roll nerf is simply too long and should be reduced.
