Casters in group

[katzzzz]

My friends from US server (their guilds and players r one of the best) told me, that casters suck in PvP group, cos they ALWAYS died first, and if he has PBAOE he cant use it, cos he died soo fast. Much better is group with meele chars+healers.

So what do u think, is caster useless in PvP group (i dont speak about solo ! ) ?

Nah, it is the same as on the RvR servers. Have a stunner of some sort protecting the casters (slammer, mincer etc), get MoC and nuke away. Look at the Req gank groups for an example of how to integrate casters in a group. Ae Mezz, Ae stun, PBAE, PBAE, PBAE...

Yes melee are better, better damage, better hp, better armour, can attack while being attacked...

Casters are good because they have range + if you got pbt/speed its always a bonus, or a pet.
But on the negative side if someone attacks you first your a bit fucked.

Originally casters would have been better and balancing between the two is they key, the fact that its PvP wouldnt change that. However I think Danyan who just so happens to have a lvl50 mentalist(?) is slightly bitter as he is fed up for hitting stuff for 1(-23456789).

Anyway, a grp of 8 BD's is the way to go on pvp

not really... bds r seriously tough in 1 on 1 encounters on cam, but u can't expect to own every class there, alot of good healers and other ae mezzers can be found on cam and we all know CC is the way to kill a bd....

Correct I do have a level 50 mentalist. And yes hitting a tank with 2300 hp for 280 (-320) gets quite tiring (that's with 3 relics and an int buff), especially when they then run up and hit you for 700.
