Change in PVP - observation

[korend]

<div></div><p>I've got no data to back this up, but I noticed a difference in group PVP last night. And so did others in my group.I'm 70 wizard with adept III spells and poor-mediocre gear at best.My normal group PVP experience vs other 70's usually falls along the lines of a number of resists, a pathetic hit with my nukes due to resists or a very quick death.  (My solo pvp is almost always a number of stuns and interrupted spells followed by a near instant death)Last night I was grouped with most of my usual group - 70 tank, 70 troub and 68 mystic.  We didn't get into any serious group vs group fights, but had maybe 6-7 fights vs FP/exiles.  Either FP/exile singles up to groups of 3. I was doing some serious damage in almost every fight and that doesn't normally happen.  Depending on the fight I might try to get of a quick cast or two to disrupt the opponent ... maybe a cease or group root or debuff.  Out troub will generally try and mez snare or charm which will give me a little time to get the Ice Nova started.  I've never really had great luck with nukes because of the resists that are out there but last night I was rolling.  It seemed like every fight I was able to get off a nova and I was taking someone out for at least 1/3 of their HP and that was the worst one.  A number of the fights were against <dakhand>.  These guys normally have very good gear and resists.<span> </span>I was really getting frustrated with this class and getting another toon up to 70 when you have to get your [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] kicked going through 20-40 with all those decked out scouts didn't appeal to me at all.  I'm not looking to be a one shot one kill class ... but I'd like a chance to hold my own in pvp and not have to be in a group with two healers before I get a chance to shot my pop cap gun as brigand is stunning the crap out of me.The changes I saw last night seemed to give me hope to add value to my group in more than PVE encounters.<span>  </span>It was getting to the point where the best thing I could do in PVP was drop my robe and run around naked.<span>  </span>Thereby causing the enemy to cease their fighting and become mesmerized by the god like beauty of a bare [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] neked dorf.</p><span><span> </span>(I’m so pretty it’s enough to make Stu forget all about steve)Any other wizards see anything similar?</span>

<DIV>My normal pvp experience is much the same as yours (but I'm at 51)- a number of resists, a pathetic hit with my nukes due to resists and a very quick death. I even got owned by a healer the other day 3 levels below me and I had the jump <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I am now to the point where I actually sit down in combat and just die if I'm solo. There's no point fighting coz I don't stand a chance and there's no point running coz so many melee classes get auto attack on the move and you cant sprint in combat mode. I do just ok in group combat if there's a decent tank taunting off me or other classes running interference and distracting the oppostion. But if there's a concerted effort by a melee class I'm pretty much cactus and don't add much to the fight but my 5 second distraction for the melee class.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
