Hello everyone,
I would like to see what other demo players feel about their class in pvp. but first here is my opinion on the matter. I love the pvp in this game. But I can't shake the feeling that us demo do not measure up compare to other classes.
being a cloth wearer makes us really squishy in PvP. We are always the focus target. with one spell to protect us (planar shift) that have a 5 minute cool down. that gives you a 35% chance to evade all forms of attack. where as other classes have 100% resist to our damage(spells).
comparing to a soldier class: they have so much damage and so much defense. no draw backs and are able to dominate and face tank every class with no real weakness.
For us. Assassins are made to destroy us. with 100% spell resistance when they get critically hit. needless to say 8 times out of 10 they well win vs a demo with their own CC and insane burst. Other rogues like rangers are pretty ridiculous with their high damage in medium armor. and their big hitters out range all of our CCs, so we actually have to get closer to them if we want to go toe to toe with rangers.
healers can silence us and resist our spells while healing themselves and having the same amount of dmg as us demo...
on the up side we get quite a few CC's 2 stuns, 2 knock backs, 2 slows and 2 roots. But I do not feel that crowd control is enough to justify the lack of survivability we have. when we are always relentlessly being targeted in random mini games. and our damage buff can literately kill, making it discouraging to use in mini games.
Every class can do decent damage in this game in pvp. But why wear cloth and do it? what sets us apart form the rest of the damage dealers? I'm speaking in terms of pvp. Which i feel that this game is big on.
I am curious as to know what other demo pvpers think about this situation.
