something i noticed during bwe

engellen

im wondering if im the only one that noticed how a 1v1 fight could go on indefinitely? an eneemy could pretty much get away in wvw because you cant kill him before he makes to a keep- even if hes no where close to one.

 

the ability to stay alive with just your self heal and dodge worries me.

could this have something to do with the lack of gear when we were all automatically bumped to 80?

It was due to your low level, and was confirmed by ANet. In this beta event peopel in WvW were a lot weaker because of that than they would normally be if they had native lev 80 characters with all skills unlocked. That's why the fights lasted a lot longer.

CC. Conditions. Traits that remove boons.

 

You can't just burn people down in this game. You have to neutralize their survivability.

So you never got killed 1v1 in WvW?  Personally, I had my fair share of kills through use of burst and plenty of CC.  I also had my fair share of deaths, both 1v1 and otherwise.  Sometimes players escape, sometimes they don't.  It shouldn't be any other way.

If you build your character correctly, you can close and finish someone off.

In WvW you're boosted to 80 but keep your PvE gear and skills. At low level, it practically means you have a health pool of level 80, but the attacking power from gear is almost nonexistent.

Ha I never even thought of running away. . I suppose there is some tactical advantage at times

This is true, doesn't matter how high your level is you're still going to hit low with nooby weapons. Playing as a thf though in WvW I had no problem taking out players before they could get away. It comes down to knowing when to you weapon swap and which skills to have on. For example in a 1v1 fight ppl would try to run i would bring out my bow and use shadow step to get right near them. After that I would then switch to daggers and use my cripple attak so thy can run and finished them off. Or if needed I could use my Scrop wire to pull them back at me then lay down a AoE cripple so many differnt ways to stop ppl from getting away.

Also my final kill count in WvW was 106 so I was doing alot of that lol

Did you find daggers in both hands worked better than pistols in both hands? Or was dagger/pisto or pistol/dagger better?

I found for pvp duel dagger worked best for me at close range becuase your off hand gives you cripple and your main hand allows for some crazy DD
