Experiment: What classes does the other classes fear the most in PvP?

Monweel

Vote here what is YOUR class and comment what class do you fear/die to the most when fighting in the PvP zones.

VaranisArano

MagDK Group Healer here, so I fear the Sorc Negate in a choke point. Dodge roll out or die.

hizium

Templar

Magplar here. The only class that I fear is the Sorcerer for 2 reasons: pets and negate magic.
If the pet get in the way or if I target it by mistake, the sorc will have time to heal and attack me back. A sorc who knows how to control the pets can make them always be in front of the attacker.
The second reason is the negate magic. My build is heavily dependant on shield and regen from channeled focus. If I can't cast it, I have too little resource manegement and survivability.

All the other classes are neutral to me, being dependant on the player's skills and not the class itself. However, the sorc class by itself means problem to me.

I don't fear any man, but that thing...

Looks at the Templar

... It scares me.

Jokes aside the one class that has continuously given me trouble time and time again is the Templar. When played right it has everything to counter my magDK and the fights either end in an unending stalemate that lasts 5+ minutes or with me face first in the dirt.

Wardens are meh, Necros have a scary ultimate, Nightblades ricochet off me, Sorcs I gotta watch carefully, other DKs can be trouble or a tasty snack, but those Templars hurt. Doesn't help I have to be in melee to fight them effectively either.

I've been mostly playing a MagDK lately. Whenever I come across a Magplar I know it's gonna be a long fight. They just have so much innate damage and healing rolled into one package, and their versatility is insane. It also doesnt help that they have so many tools to counter my skills. They're just a strong all around class, whether it be in groups healing and attacking from range, or in 1v1, they can do it all. And that Jesus beam....

Templar

Templar. Only because it gets exhausting to run into them and they only ever seem to use jabs and no other skill, lol

Templar

All classes have something to offer to make them feared...

NB have the ability to gank and almost instantly kill anyone.

DK has it DoT, strong heals, and CC effects.

Templar is a melee power house with strong heals that if you start to run away they can hit you with their finisher.

Warden - insane burst damage at range and with their Pet another annoying thing to deal with that gets in the way of targeting the player.

Sorc - IMO best ultimate to stop any mag character, great gap closer or fleeing ability, and Pets ugh...

Necro: Great damaging/debuffing ultimate, one of the best classes to create a bash build with, can last a while in a fight and once again those pets.

I would generally say in most cases I can kill every class. But, magplars, nah.

Even mediocre magplars can hold their own against me for quite awhile and I need to line up a perfect burst to get them. If I went up against someone of equal skill or better than me its just going to be a stalemate. They will keep eating my damage and healing until one of us makes a mistake that costs us the fight.

worrallj

Templar

I'm magplar. Strong DKs scare me. They can be very tanky and not really hitting that hard, but then they either line up an insane burst combo with leap or pop corrosive and it can take you from feeling in control of the fight to being dead so fast.

Rhavein

Dragonknight

DKs, especially magDKs are beasts now.

soniku4ikblis

Templar

I'm a Magplar.

The only other class I have trouble with are other Magplars.

I have to watch myself around a good Msgsorc that spams shields and pets.

StamDK Corrosive is really annoying.

Everyone and everything else melts on my burst. Lol

Xarc

It depends.

I'd say the game is globally well balanced, it's more about builds vs builds.
Not everyone is duellist.

Lumenn

Templar

Ive actually played all classes in pvp but mostly my templar(even when they were...baaaad) but aside from constantly worrying about purge and how many peeps are around me, dk give me pain. They can be so tanky and then boom corrosive and big dmg combo. Build for ultimate and they're almost immortal.

Ryuvain

Nightblade

Also play necro but nb is my main now.

Templar jabs. Still gives me nightmares.

Dks are a close second. Unkillable and most I've fought just try to line up burst with leap. And if that don't work, run away and los until it's up again. If theres more than 1, good luck with that.

WuffyCerulei

Sorcerer

Magsorc...Not a 1v1er by any means, so any stam build that can burn my shield down rather quickly. More so necros tho...dang necros can be so tanky.

Templar

Templar for sure, jab jab jab jab jab.

Jaimeh

Overall it's Dragonknights, but specifically when I play with my NB, I don't like templars and stamsorcs as well.

Jabs are so over rated.. Just dodge roll or better yet block and use tri pots. After the templar runs out of resources they run away and are usually easy kills especially if you got CC effects that slow them down or better yet stun/root them in place.

All classes are limited in their overall build variety. The difference is usually gear and CP setup. I mean a stamina dps templar regardless of gear are setup usually with similar abilities, same with magika templars.

Jabs also are really, really bad in lag. The animation gets all jacked, sometimes you end up running around with one long spear lol. Idk if you can even animation cancel it.

It's a great skill when it lands, but out in Cyro lag not so much.

That javelin though. Not the damage so much, but the fact that it knocks you into a parallel dimension is...apparently a bonus of using the skill.

Nightblade

As a night blade, other nightblades. I know im dead in a 1vx. But the taste of my own medicine…

L_Nici

Sorcerer

Stamsorc and I fear MagDk and StamDK most, I am superior in movement but if they ever DoT me up I am dead. There is zero counter in sorcs class kit to Dot.

LunaticOne_

Dragonknight

An atleast decent templar is immortal vs me, nothing counters my DK as hard as these. Immense healing power, good damage combo, cheap ult, they have it all, they even counter my corrosive ult in some way because of their split up damage instances

SkaraMinoc

Necromancer

Magcro can still burst for 30k+ damage in 1 second.

xDeusEJRx

I don't have a "main" because I play every class(both mag and stam) so I understand how to counter every class I play but I guess the most annoying class to fight is Templars/warden because of Templar/Warden healbot specs, not even the DPS specs.
They make my targets impossible to kill because they heal away your damage you deal, making it hard to try bursting someone down whenever a healbot is around.

In terms of DPS? None, when you play every class you pretty much know what to expect and how to counter their combos

Scallan

Nightblade

Dragonknight just because they can be built tanky so effortlessly. I don't know if fear is the right word but they're definitely the most annoying to deal with for me.

Well, why on earth would they use any other skill?

Jabs does as much damage as a channeled, is instant cast, is an aoe, requires no targeting, costs the same as a spammable, can't be dodged, can't be blocked(you can try, but say goodbye to your resources), buffs the user, and has a franky ludicruous range for something that's supposed to be a melee ability.

It's very overpowered.

got this is such....man. i templar pvp and use both my bars to the max. im not easy to take down, and i build to sustain and outlast someone.

templars dont bother me, a lot of people really do seem to think jabs is all they have and they arent the worst to fight. if a templar pops bubble of trouble and then jabs they may not be worth messing with.

DKs are my problem -- i play a lot on my stamplar, magsorc, beefy stamblade, and a magdk. they can so easily build up health and tankiness and still lay you out with DoTs and a double-cc. im not even that worried about leap tbh -- the double cc and corrosive armor are murder. so....i play mine that way.

jaws343

Templar

On my sorc, and probably other classes as well, it is templar for sure, with DK being nearly a tie.

Both classes can basically stalemate any sorc build I put together, with healing and/or purge. And both can deal a ton of damage up close. Usually just walk away from fights with either class at this point, unless they are just really bad.

My open world sdk does not like fighting duel spec mdks.

Could be worse I guess. 2 years ago the overwhelming response would have been "class doesn't matter, cheesier proccset wins/scares me".
