    returning player, what are the tiers now?

    in PvP

    Posted

    If you are looking for statistical information regarding the DPS performences of the various specs [which I think is what you are asking for], you can get the general position of DPS potentials here.

     

    http://parsely.io/parser/stats

     

    This is statistical information only.

     

    The DPS spec with the lowest DPS ceiling can still beat someone playing the spec with the highest DPS ceiling, play skill and understand of the specs involved are always the most telling attribute of performance.

     

    Most PVPers don't measure DPS in the correct manner, it's simply less important in PVP as it is in PVE as their are no DPS checks to be concerned about and rotations can be more difficult to maintain [sort of like it's harder to maintain rotations in NiM Operations as opposed to SM Operations with less difficult mechanics]. PVPers tend to regard DPS in terms of total damage, not damage per second. The maximization and maintanence of the highest levels of DPS are not emphasized in PVP, so they take less stock in optimal DPS performance [that's not an insult, it's just a different set of needs that don't require maximization of DPS in PVP as is required more for progression raiding at the higher difficulty levels].

     

    In simpler more general terms, if you are asking what does the best in PVP overall, that's easy, Mercs, Snipers, and Fury Marauders. They are the top dogs of PVP in this meta. I wouldn't put Fury Marauders quite in the same cateogory as Mercs and Snipers as they are not ranged and they lack heals and the over-abundance of heals and strong defensives play a large part in what make Snipers and Mercs so powerful in PVP. Fury Marauders have great DCDs, but they can't handle battles of attrition like Mercs and Snipers can because Mercs and Snipers are self sufficient heal wise and Marauders must rely on the presense of a healer for heals and there isn't always a healer on every team [and where there is, they aren't always skilled/ tend to the needs of everyone.]

     

    It's very much a ranged meta. You will find a ton of Mercs and Snipers in PVP as they are the 'FOTM' classes and that 'month' has been going on for over a year now heh. Sorcs and Juggs are very popular as well but are generally not considered as being 'OP' as Mercs and Snipers are.

     

    Obviously, stealth classes are extremely effective in PVP and would be considered strong as well, but less so than the top 3. Their utility and unique abilities make them particularly suited to many objectives you find in PVP.

     

    Regarding 1v1's however, Operatives are the Kings and Queens of 1v1s, Assassins are quite good at that as well. The stealth and CC array make the strongest and most able in 1v1s, as makes sense.

     

    That said, any spec can perform at high levels when played by a skilled enough player. Some are just more suited to the environments and the challenges inherent to PVP play.

     

    Hope that helps some.

     

    no, i'm not about numbers. im about competetive dps classes. I dont like Snipers (that's not a mobile class) and Mercs (because of their overheat)

     

    I prefer to play stealth class. Operatives are the best in 1 on 1? Do you mean Concealment? and what about assasins, they are worse?
