Chaossacre Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Could someone please tell me the pros/cons of each class in pvp? I am having a hard time deciding on what to roll for an alt.
runescapeisgood Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 gunslinger: better burst dps sorc: better at everything else by a lot
uzoozu Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 They can't really be compared, they play totally different.
Aravail Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Sages/Sorcs are a lot more mobile than Gunslingers/Snipers; they have a lot fewer defensive cooldowns, but are great at kiting and have a lot of self-heals. They can also off-heal in a pinch, or respec healer as well. Gunslingers have a ton of defensive cooldowns, but none of them are particularly amazing on their own. Both offer a lot of utility to a group in different ways (Sages have Rescue, Force Empowerment; Gunslingers have Scrambling Field, Diversion, Flourish Shot). Both also have sustained/AoE damage specs (Balance for Sages; Dirty Fighting and Saboteur for Gunslingers) and single-target burst specs (Telekinetics for Sages; Marksman for Gunslingers), though Marksman can put up solid overall numbers as well. If you're planning to do ranked, Sage is definitely a better bet, but in 8v8 warzones both can perform really well. Personally, I'd recommend going Sage if you want sustained damage and Gunslinger if you prefer burst, as Balance and Marksman are two of the best warzone specs right now. If you're really having trouble deciding, you could also watch videos of the different specs to see how their playstyles look in action. Good luck!
AlrikFassbauer Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 In my opinion, Gunslinger needs more support than a Sage does. But that's my personal opinion, of course.
MrGoldsilver Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Sorcs: Better Mobility, Better Survivalbility (As madness), Better self-healing, better AOE pressure, better DOT spread, Better Kiting, Doesn't need to be in LoS to deal damage. Snipers: (Filthy MM spec, since that's really only what people play anymore): Better Burst. So If you want to die a lot, but have almost as much burst as an AP powertech, but with weaker defensive's, and no ability to kite or stop people from LoSing, go sniper. (This also works if you have team support, which is rare in random games) If you want to roll your head on your keyboard, and still get 3K DPS, play Madness.
Master-Nala Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 If you want to roll your head on your keyboard, and still get 3K DPS, play Madness. I tried that one day. I died a lot. #hyperbole is not proof
Technohic Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Sorc is a lot more self sustaining. Snipers damage capability with a tank and healer to support them is really good though. Without that support, well; you can be dangerous but will fold if people stay on,you.
Zoidrinali Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Snipers: (Filthy MM spec, since that's really only what people play anymore): Better Burst. Ahem....not everyone
MrGoldsilver Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Ahem....not everyone My bad, the majority of players
Lhancelot Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 So If you want to die a lot, but have almost as much burst as an AP powertech, but with weaker defensive's, and no ability to kite or stop people from LoSing, go sniper. rofl this is so true hahaha.
BlissDivine Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Gunslinger has better burst, Sorc has better everything else.
MystbladeWA Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Ahem....not everyone I also play Sabo/Engi over MM Largely, might I add, because of you good sir
BaineOs Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 I also play Sabo/Engi over MM Largely, might I add, because of you good sir cool to hear Hope you're enjoying the spec
