From reading to me it seems like you have slower reactions times. The trick with primeval is never get caught.Hello everyone.
I'll try to keep my frustration low and have it not affect what I want to say in a negative way.
I am playing a Primeval. My GS is 5.9K, 4 piece celestial epherium gale, 3piece divine obsidian T5. Epic Ayanad Bow, divine & epic delphinad gale rings & flame earrings.
My gear is far from being done. But it is just to showcase what I have.
I want to become better at the game but constantly getting shit on by Darkrunners is making me want to blow up all of my gear and cut my throat.
Every time I quit archeage it is because of its pvp. I come back months later, have a blast, until i take a step into the pvp again. And well you can imagine what comes next. Its a never ending circle for me.
I am so tired of this one class dominating every patch from release to past 3.5. Every patch every server it's 3 skilltrees ruling above all else.
Tell me, what do I need to do to not die from a stunlock by a DR ?
I am seriously curious as I am sick of dying to them. My armor alone, together with a T5 obsidian shield cost me 30K+ Gold. My Bow 65K excluding gems.
Why is someone who could be running around with GHA gear as long as he has a cheap divine weapon, able to snare me out of nowhere and trip me before I have time to react, following with another 2 trips stuns every possible CC this game has to offer, until only my corpse is whats left ?
It is just so darn frustrating to know how much I have spent on my gear seeing it being utterly worthless to this one class.
The moment i see that I am getting abushed is when i spam Shrug it off or leech like a maniac but it doesn t do poop.
How much do I need to invest into my gear ? Can any experienced archer tell me if i will ever be having a somewhat fun pvp experience with half the server running this class ?
Does any archer actually survive a properly executed stunlock by a DR of same GS? I watch Kooncoon alot and the way he kites DRs is crazy. I assume the simple answer to not die to DRs is to not get caught, but is that even possible playing from EU with 100+ ping ? Kooncoon seems to live 1min away from the gameservers as his ping is stupid low. Does his gameplay actually represent whats possible for anyone or am i being blinded by things that will never be in my favour ?
I mean I am fine with being snared & stunned out of nowhere. What bothers me is that it doesn't stop there.
BEL > TS > snare+trip with no possibility for my 3 skill-trees to break the CC.
Charge > TS > snare+trip
TD > WS > snare+trip once again.
Overwhelm > Shadowsmite > stun+trip (can be countered but gl on that with their fast attack speed & you having 100+ping)
God dammit a DR perfectly executing this (which isn't hard especially with good ping) stunlocks me without any possibility to break out of it.
Not only that but they also hit me with 6 Skills during this, strong hitting skills..
Take Daggerspell for example. Setting up a Bubbletrap Meteor/Arc Lightning combo takes time, and none of the CC spells do any significant damage..
BEL has a 20m range, can hit targets on different elevation, does stupid amounts of damage, has no cast time, increases movement speed when spec'd into the passive (which everyone does so it is guaranteed), negotiates fall damage AND on top of that it has a CC that combos with another one that no skill-tree (besides Battlerage i believe) can break free from.
I just don't understand why a skill like BEL has to have a snare effect with all the advantages it already comes with, and why there is no trip immunity after the 2nd trip, or why the hell a skill like Bondbreaker is locked up in Battlerage. It breaks many very strong CC's. Stuff like this should be in Auramancy honestly..
