[Solari]

Very simple, leave a vote and we'll see

I excluded the classes that I personally found silly and unable to define duels with. (No sorry haddaway, no smitzors.)

[Disclaimer] The "poll" is class not player related.

VM that low down the list raven?

Imo champ/arms/vw/valk

VW would prolly be top of the list tbh. If the guy playing it doesnt want to loose a duel he wont (dirtmonger tactics)

Armsmen just easy mode pwn with pole spam

valk survivability with hot and decent offense with dd proc styles

champs with debuffs ofc are nasty

 

[Kinag]

I don't think I saw the Mauler class on your list Raven?

 

[GrivneKelmorian]

Paladin: 3
Reaver: 2
Heretic: 1

Warden: 1
Vampiir: 2

Thane: 2
Valkyrie: 1

Mauler: will be good in all realms

 

[Kagato]

This simply wont work to be honest.

The 'best' dueling class is only relivent to the class they are dueling.

The most difficult person for me to fight on that list wont be the same as the most difficult person for a zerker or a warden to fight.

What I might rip apart might be a hard fight for someone else, and by the same note another class might walk over someone that can kill me.

If you want to judge over all, then the best over all winner is simply going to be the Heal Over Time classes now or disease classes, Valks, Wardens, VW's and Friars (though few in albion seem to have caught onto how good friars are yet sadly).

And of cause Maulers no doubt, but we havent had chance to see them yet here obviously.

Meh except for mob5 tanks ... tho 1.87 changes :s

Any Armsman/Merc with rr5/DT up and or ip2 ? That being said unbuffed and suiciding on a tower i did manage to take a rr11 merc whose name i will not mention to 2% even with him using ip2 and all the tricks ... so lol i dunno

Since u said suicided on a tower, its pretty obvious it was Kzn.

 

[Nuxtobatns]

Warden and Valk will own everything.
Still remains to see how Mauler will preform.

After these...the rest will prolly remain the same.

 

[Barun]

You are fookin' hard for a Ranger though mate. I have far more problems with you then I do with Durrell or Kilsimba TBH.

 

[Nuxtobatns]

he is NS m8...

 

[Moaning Myrtle]

he is NS m8...

That would explain a few things then

I've pwned myself in grand style yet again! He's still fookin' hard tho...

 

[CorNokZ]

BD with PD5, Purge3 and an ml9 pet tbh

 

[Fuaip]

Always Armsmen untill they get some kind of nerf.. Then Valks

 

[MaCaBr3]

Skalds ftw!

 

[Bikkus]

The Mauler is going to upset your ideas of the best dueler. I have been playing on the US servers for the last few months now and have seen a few Mauler vs (another class) fights. The Mauler is a deadly 1v1 class and will certainly open a few eyes to its potential from the 14th Feb. When you see things like a lvl 37 Mauler killing lvl 50 mobs or a Mauler killing orange con mobs with 5 other orange con mobs beating on him and kill them all in turn with 100% health, it certainly will make you think.

Don't get me wrong they do have their weaknesses but you will have to work extremly hard to take them down. This is a lethal 1v1 class and must certainly be at the top of any dueling list.

 

[Septima]

Can't talk about maulers but wardens and valks closely followed by armsmen are the top of the chain food atm.

 

[Everz]

warden > all

watching a mauler(fully toa'd/decent rr) duo a similiar rr warden whom had barndoor shield was sick, the warden finished the fight with full health, i didnt even see the mauler pull off a style, seemingly most were absorbed by bt or blocked.

large shield on a class with pbt, genius mythic.

however it did struggle vs a valk, and not many active armsmen on mord so no idea on that one.

 

[Nuxtobatns]

u r forgeting the HoTs and the spec heal (resulting 100% health) after slamming.... twf.... speed... always endurance ... end reduction buff so that can spam OP BM styles... bla bla bla bla bla bla celerity bla bla bla bla bla

rolf
they still hit like they using a wet sock in comparison to other class's they have high survivability but need to get more damage to get to top

mauler should have owned it it has 2 hot pbt and higher dps if speced right its one of the most op mellee class and mauler should have just end tapped it
most mauler fights are mauler getting battered till 80% then pbt hot 1 hot 2 fumble and a few 50FW kick end tap rinse and repeat

BD with PD5, Purge3 and an ml9 pet tbh

still gunna get owned by moc 3 sorc and now that LT is 9 sec and you cant starf and use may be even ml9 inf and mincer

I have also seen a Warden v Mauler fight where the Mauler spanked the Warden.

On my Armsman Ethildis has shown me how to fight a Warden, but now they got spec shield and hots. So maybe power tap the shit ouf of them, slam when purge down, Battler debuff and 3-shot with 2H/Pole (and please no comments from Kagato on how 3-shotting stunned Wardens is not possible)?

Same should go for Valks and Maulers and all classes relying on power, power tap them a lot, slam, DPS burst.

must have been an idiot warden, as this mauler was from Sin Vada (6 relic guild on mordred) vs some rogged out warden with the barndoor shield, did the same to a templated friar and valk. was sick, and maulers arent nothing special.. strafing >mauler

will see, all i know is this warden had toa'd 6 relics people running away from him.. i was loling irl.

when you hit a mauler you give it power m8 so power tap is going to give power back too so your never going to drain a mualer of power by hiting it
any damage is power to it

 

[thergador]

strafing >mauler

any mellee class player that dont know how to anti strafe deserver to get pwned
strafing should = side style back style
