Mhak Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Powertech/Vanguard or Sorc/Sage imho. They're both great duelists but playstyle preference will usually make one better or worse for you. Edited January 28, 2012 by Mhak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypernetic Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Marauder without a doubt (if they have CDs up) if not then tank sin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostburns Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 bump. Any more responses? Is merc any good against melee 1v1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobaFurz Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) 1v1 ? besides healer...could be a marauder/sentinel or jugger/guard. Merc/commando struggle against melee in close combat..but their dmg is really high Edited January 29, 2012 by BobaFurz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrekorSilverfang Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Marauder for sure. Sins aren't to bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrechor Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Focus Guardian (My class) is pretty damn nasty in 1v1s. I tend to munch through pretty much anyone in a 1v1 and the majority of powertechs that guy mentioned tend to do their very best to avoid/run away from me. Merc in 1v1: Tracer missile, ***OOps interrupted***, Shield, bends over for tracer missile again, gets force pushed, dies soon after. Laughable class in 1v1s.

Tzeentcho Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Sentinel/Marauder with all cooldowns available as Watchman spec with Biochem. 2v1 is np. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabaker Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 As Sage i can say that i'm pretty much unbeatable if there is a Pillar. Round around, laugh at missed Smashes, Tracer Missiles etc while you wait for a Weaken Mind crit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidank Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Surprised nobody's said scoundrels/ops yet. Even past our stupid burst at the beginning we can pump out a good amount of dmg and have a very nice amount of control. Only class I have major problems w/ in 1v1s are good maras and powertechs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manigma Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Powertech/Vanguard or Sorc/Sage imho. They're both great duelists but playstyle preference will usually make one better or worse for you. Absolutely with you on the Powertech front, you can tank so so well, your damage is good and you got some funky cc - to me they are the most feared opponent I can face.

Frostburns Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ok, so it's down to either powertech, marauder, or juggernaut. Which is the best against each other? And do powertechs really get beaten by marauder and juggernaut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabbathius Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Ok, so it's down to either powertech, marauder, or juggernaut. Which is the best against each other? And do powertechs really get beaten by marauder and juggernaut? Marauder with all cooldowns up will probably spank a Powertech. At least in my experience. Marauders have arguably the best defensive cooldowns in the game. But without cooldowns? Marauder is toast. I mean, it's not even funny. While Powertech without cooldowns is still reasonably well off. Can't speak for Juggernaut, mine isn't high enough level. EDIT: I am also surprised nobody mentioned Assassin. They're just as durable, have quite a few good defensive cooldowns, can vanish into stealth and re-open, have quite decent CC and utility. Though they're really hard to play well. As Darkness Sin, I have more buttons that need to be pushed in combat than pretty much any other class, including Marauder, and more procs to watch. With my current spec, I have to watch for 3 procs, to optimize DPS. Edited January 29, 2012 by Sabbathius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manigma Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I doubt equally geared Marauder could beat Powertech tbh esp if he has a heal, even with the gap closer the Powertech still has enough cc and defences to wear out the Marauder over time and negate his close range advantage.

Requimo Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Tank shadow/sins are 1v1 beasts. The only class as good as them (maybe better) at 1v1 is tank specced Vanguard/Powertech's imo. I don't know about marauder/sentinels with cd but I can 1v1 a marauder/sentinel and win %80 of the time np.

Manigma Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 So it's down to juggernaut, sin, or powertech? With powertech behind juggernaut? You will get more medals than anyone else in Warzones with Powertechs - range dmg = most consistent dmg, not to mention you can tank and heal. I know it's not 1 v 1 but it is still another advantage they have, also the levelling is much much easier than Marauder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesleyJanson Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 What the title says. I want to level up a good 1v1 class. Anything other than sorc or sage is a lie It's the best class in the game, xv1 which means any number of opponents vs just you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzzy Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) So it's down to juggernaut, sin, or powertech? With powertech behind juggernaut? a marauder who uses his cooldowns really well has a shot, but yeah those 3+1 sorc, sniper, operative and mercenary are the 4 with no shot, sure they might beat people, but realistically the others have several advantages that will have them win the majority of the time all other things being equal.

JingleHell Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Every class has it's ups and downs depending on playstyle, opener, and terrain when it comes to 1v1. I'd say avoid sniper/slinger, since they're rooted, but the rest are all fairly solid, down to preference and individual skill. Sent/Mara is pretty unforgiving, but nasty done right. I've had some crush me, I had another that couldn't beat me when my companion bugged and his was with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humankeg Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) 1v1: Maruaders, Assassin,s and PT's. Group combat: sorcs, mercs. Actual 4 person team: merc, sorc (healer), marauder, juggy tank. If there ever is a 4 person arena teams, this will be THE comp. Ecessive CC, interupts, a guard, and amazing heals, and the best damage dealing class (maruader). Edited January 29, 2012 by Humankeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
