On a side note, was having a tough time swallowing each and every EotS bg I went into, as a new set of 70's my +damage was just under 400 on each and under 100 resilience as I have only 3 of the rep blues. Out of the first 18 marks I got only 2 were winning games and 12 were losses.
Sound like we are in a silimar situation but i would guess you are perhaps a couple of weeks behind me as i had this issue too. I've found in Eots that if i start off by helping cap one base then moving across the map to the other, i can either kill anyone that comes over the bridge, if they attack quick, or i can destroy the 2nd base i go to cap because i can cast upwards through the ground killing people before they realise im even there. You can do this on every base in Eots and its a great way to ninja cap and kill. Also you rely on having a half decent team with you

I've also found that i win far far more AVs now due to taking a defensive role on Galv then taking back towers.

It all comes together after a while. Gear makes a massive difference and +spell damage * > all. Im on +580 Spell damage now with S1 mace, shield, s2 head,shoulders, gloves. Aiming for legs and chest over the weekend which should see it go up more. Also need to farm the totem of the void and do some more kara with the guild and get the badge trinket 4tw.

So far arena has been useless, i think i've only managed to kill about 2 people in 20 games But the new gear should help close the gap and i can already see myself being harder to take down. i.e. i used to panic like mad if a couple of rogues or druids appeared. Now i react quite calmly to the situation with warstomp, bloodlust, totems, topping up health then pew pewing them down. With so many abilites at our disposal, its only practice that makes perfect.
