<DIV>Has anyone done any dueling so far? What were the results? What were you fighting against? Are there any classes that look like they are going to be pretty tough to beat? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just off the top of my head, I would guess that from toughest to easiest it would be:</DIV> <DIV>1. Priests</DIV> <DIV>2. Mages</DIV> <DIV>3. Tanks</DIV> <DIV>4. Scouts</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>That is a total guess though. </DIV>

<DIV>Results have been mixed, mostly funny.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If I were you, though, making that list, I'd remember that see stealth and see invis are two different skills, and if you're going to go up against an assassin or a brigand, you may be in very deep trouble if you think they'll go down easy. *cough*  Can't hit what you can't see.  Actually, for that matter, those bard debuffs are vicious.  At 32 (assassin) I dueled a 27 dirge and although I did win, he did more damage than I thought.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Priests are about as tough as you'd think, though.  It's never easy fighting something that can heal itself.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>At the moment, though, dueling is a bit buggy.  As the bugs get fixed I'm sure we'll do more testing.  A lot of the duels I've seen have been low-levels.  I'd love to see, say, a 50 assassin and a 50 paladin duking it out.</DIV>

So far I just have a warden and a pallie up to around level 30 so I don't really know where the wizzies and scouts would end up. I have a friend who is a ranger that constantly complains about how terrible they are though. That is about all I know! :smileyvery-happy:</DIV>

<P>Just to give you direction. Almost every Mageclass/scout class had "See invisible" spell. Im just wounder how you will counteract 10 second stun followed by unbreakble Root? </P> <P> </P> <P>One in all best class for pvp is Healer.</P>

<DIV>Many classes, incluing palys, have skills that can be used while stunned. I can shoot off almost all my nukes while stunned.</DIV>

But Kella that is part of what testing is about.  I let a lvl 50 assassin kill me twice (and I saw her coming the second time - good old see stealth) <div></div>

<DIV>The char with the highest level wins 99% of the time.  Class does not matter that much <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>
