So what you are saying is that mele dps us useless in rvr, then I might as well roll a shadowwarrior. Sad I like mele classes.I/m playing sword master at the mo and by a mile my fav class,as for white lion both are pretty different ,SM is mainly going to be a tank class and WL is a pure melee dps class plus you get the added bonus of useing your pet to interupt ect.. So if you wanna melee dps go WL but if you wanna tank go SM, sm can do decent dps aswell but later on id be amazed if they can keep up with most other class's.As i mentioned in another post playing melee dps in RvR at the mo is next to pointless you just cant hit anything even though your getting hit.
I also have tried both. White lion is fun, but it is quite hard at times. Sword master is much more accessable. The earlier quests flew by with SM compared to WL.
I played a WH to 12 then decided to play a SM and OMG but the SM is insane.
Its a slow start until about lvl 6 and SM becomes a real monster at lvl 8 when you get ur RR gear.
Shields block spells and damage and my guy has 45% armour dmg mitigation, 40% parry (needs one skill use so its almost perma) and 40% block (melee and spell dmg). I also have a buff that gives 25% chance to aborb 100 dmg for 10 secs after hitting.
Dmg isnt great compared to wH (as you might expect) but I can sit and absorb a whole zergs attack and not get touched (which is insanely satisfying. SMs also get a nice root, plus some good Dots/ armour debuffs.
However, the most cool thing is that they can dual wield!! Oh yes!
True the second sword has stats like a shield but damn it looks so sweet. And when you get a few abilities and run through the stances fast it looks awesome.
So, maybe not gonna be killin everyone but Ive enjoyed SM much more than WH today, so much so I'm tempted to roll one come release instead of a WH...decisions decisions...
I played as a white lion... it was pretty cool especially the lion being able to inflict some good stuff on the enemy, like armor reduction/slowing them etc o_o
the only problem..is reaching your enemy if they run == do we get any skills that make our lion run fast or we run fast or something? Flee dosent cut it out you know

Interesting, was wondring how you catch fleeing enemies without a charge or sprint ability.
