'let´s face it. When PE ain´t out almost no albs are out and when they are out emain is flooded with albs)'

this is because albs don't get past amg when pe aren't out? hib guilds just camp apk-amg area and kill everyone that leaves the pk. eventually it gets boring beign stearollered by the hibs so people just log off their mains and do something else

Uhm

1 Month ago was quite impossible to RvR in Emain cause Hibs were almost all in PvE and shitloads of Mids Svgs assisting groups out, then came the Alb zerg, now, tbh, it's your time to go hide.

You hibs want us to hide?


Savage assist groups you could deal with (tho it was alsways a challenge) by a Balanced Alb group, hib caster assist groups were also strong.

Grapple/pbaoe groups are very difficult to combat, if our tank grapples first he still has to tank the 1200 every 2 seconds, gratz to NP and Eclipse and the others for finishing there group setups (Nerf Animists eh?)

yep prydwen is pretty deserted...it's been downhill for a year, so it's probably not getting any better. so i'm moving to a high population server playing a low population realm so I can get more action, cause Prydwen is really zz. Especially as an Alb.

i would not say that low population is the problem with prydwen for an alb .. rather survive the grapplezerg :p

Like Case said earlier.

3fg Albs -Vs- 4 hibs = hibs win

Yeah, ok there was alot of damn good teamwork by the Hibs and they were almost certainly high RR and high ML, but any game that lets 4 players trample over 24 people so easily is just not really on.

RvR is just not fun anymore, holding the account till new frontiers, but if the game is still no longer fun, and your just ganked so easily when steping into a fronteir zone, then why bother paying....

Lack of interupts is the main reason why albs lose vs hibs, you need a godlike theurg vs them if you got bards like sorusi and chanter dps interupt coming at you.

Avalon server has twice as many players has a excal nearly so rvr there must be pretty good fun, same with broc it's just there is no way of translating the text to english which sucks if you do not have someone who can read it for you xE

Caba/wiz can interupt after hibs GP but not like a theurg...though aoe dd can pretty much screw hibs sometimes, good to use if you run mix tank/caster group.

yes, anyone who has seen mobstomper in action on excal knows that aoe dd > hibb pbaoe box :D (atleast when chanters are asleep and not dps debuffinterurpting back ;) )

How can there be 2x players on Avalon than on Excal when Excal has what, 2500-2800 and the server limit is 3500? :m00:

Well 1 of the reasons alb are worse of is the lack of grapple resists and interupts,the set up i woulduse if i were to starta a alb grp to win vs a hib grp.

2*Clerics=boofs resits heals
1 friar=resists BG grapple heals mabye melee
1 pally=BG grapple end heals af slams rezz if needed
1 icewizzy= nukes with sorc debuffs pboe
1thuerg= pet spams to interupt nukes with sorc debuffs
1 sorcs split spec(as mezz often gets GPed it doesnt matter if u have 59 secs or 72 sec)= CC demezz debuffs pet interupts nukes if time
1 mincer= 2nd CC stun DDs FZ and mabye melee if needed

its not a bad setup imo best i can think of to counter hib grps

doubtfull you`d have enough damage output in a group setup like this ..the chanter pets alone would outdamage your entire group

fotm isnt good word anymore, everything and everyone is fotm if it has to do with balancing groups or if you intend to win.

1 paladin with BG
2 clerics
1 spirit cabby
1 minstrel
3 sorc`s

is the uberest setup i can think of ;)

problem is a lot of people don`t want to have to resort to this in order to have a slight chance of not being steamrollered

2 clerics
1 bg pala
1 bg merc/reaver
1 fire wiz
1 body sorc
1 mind sorc
1 theurg/spirit caba

If sorc has 30% debuffs you can ditch the body one and add another fire wiz/spirit caba/theurg.
