    Default Anyone else failing Warzones?

    I have 3 teams in the low/mid 40's. 3 Sages, 3 Commandos and 3 (DPS) Guardians. So far I'm finding that boxing PvP in this game fairly counterproductive. I have a hard time killing people since everyone LoS's or gets guarded as soon as you start to target them. You can't really "burst" people down in this game, which is usually the strength of a boxed group. AoE healing is worthless unless you're a Sage/Sorc and go full healing tree, so as soon as people see your 3/4 characters they start spamming AoE at you and you don't have the tools to outheal it. Even an active healer that I queue with sometimes can't keep up when your 3 characters are constantly being cleaved.

    Anyone got any ideas? Starting to lose enthusiasm for leveling. The PvP is only going to get worse at 50+ Vs. geared characters and premades. I've tried all the ones I thought would be decent but, TBH, boxing in Warzones has just been a massive fail. I'm hoping someone has come up with either a team that works or something I haven't thought of.

    I'd be interested as well. I haven't done any PvP yet, but I am holding out hope that with the right team it will be fun.

    The only other team I can think of would be a heal spec'd Scoundrel/Operative group with instant group HoT (though I've heard the HoT is very weak). I'm not sure how much damage they'd do, but at least it would be mobile. I'm actually starting to wonder if I wouldn't be more productive to go heal spec, keeping on top of people to damage them just doesn't work. Too much CC/LoS.

    Well... You do realize your talking about the most broken aspect of a game that should still be in beta (second to the inability to program basic math). And it's such a joke at 50, you will stab your own eyes out for a better time. I guess you can always look forward to Ilum. *rim-shot*

    Actually, I don't mind the PvP so much when I queue with a single character and a few guildies. Just doesn't seem very boxer friendly.

    I could go on a rant about how all instanced PvP is bad in any game, but that's another topic :P

    I hate the knockbacks that EVERY fucking class has though. Who thought that was a good idea? I feel like a pinball machine especially in Huttball. Fuck this games pvp.

    With the exception of Open PvP; I avoid it like the plague.

    Wow... I'm legitimately afraid to even try PvP now. Still don't have any characters high enough to PvP though anyway.

    lol.. open world is fun if you can find a fight. and solo WZs are fun imo. more so if your with friends. but yea, way out of tune. this game needs another year of this paid beta its in I think. Hopefully they are listening to the masses and will make some great balances and additions it so desperately needs. It might be too late though, MoP will be in full swing and GW2 is getting great reviews of how its living up to the hype ( in beta ) so far.
