| Concerning AE in pvp, yeah, I expect to see a lot of AE'ing deathsquads roaming around, but due to the bursty nature of melee damage in AoC and the non-bursty healing I doubt they will be a problem for coordinated single target bursts. Should be a pretty entertaining powerleveling strategy, though.
My biggest concern about pvp and pvp levels is just this bursty melee damage, I expect to see a lot of assassins and HoXes at the top of the pvp level chain as it's pretty easy to drop a single target with cooldown usage. Stalk your prey, unstealth (or stealth attack from behind for a stagger effect if you're a barb/rang/ass) load up your biggest baddest attack, kill, run away, stealth. Repeat until the mini-game match is over and it should be easy to maintain a good K-D ratio. |
