is this really the best the ratards can do? why does my warlocks rift hit for 2500 while almost everyone with chain armor, tons of class speed buffs, high damage auto attacks, and the ability to do damage while running have the ability to 1 shot me?
I've been sick the last few days and decided to try battle grounds. I'm sure this has been brought up before. why is it left broken? mages get the shaft in BG. they have to screw up resists to go a little deeper?
typical SOE retardedness.

Ok, Judging by the fact you are saying you "decided to try battle grounds" combined with the fact that I looked through past post to find the character in question and saw your gear and determined you do not raid whatsoever. Those 2 things being said, you need to start at a lower tier than T9 BGs. You will not have the equipment to stand up to some of the higher dps BY FAR, and will not even dent some of the people with the gear you have. I have a lock at level 89 for BGs that I have a blast on, and honestly IMO that lock is one of the top terror's for that level range. One of the others thats probably above me for 1 on 1 terror is a wizzy. We smoke almost every scout without question or issue. In fact, I can go middle on a smugglers, and hit an absolution + rift and kill an entire group. You just need to gear yourself up before trying that tier BGs.

EDIT:

I just took a look at your alts and this is what I suggested you do. Get on your 80 wizzy, get a "pvp" AA spec on him, and try some level 80 BGs getting some gear there first. I would recommend at least buying chest and legs if you are going to stay in that area of BGs.
