With the 20% exp/renown buff going in, what server are you order peeps on and will you let me into your guild y/n. I'm the best pvp'er in town, even better than you!

I've looked over the abilities of BW's and I really don't see how they can't not get away from a Witch Elf in tier 3/4. Immolation seems to be the best tree. A 3 second knockdown that only eats up a 0 cooldown-insta cast dot, a channeled 40% snare dot, combined with the 1-2 seconds you will buy yourself from the instacast root.

Hey nem, lets pick a server to roll Order on and I'll come chill out with you some (though my schedule is somewhat spotty at times due to school).

I just started up a witch elf recently, too, and I like it because, god damn, I can solo and actually KILL SHIT. Unlike my shaman or squig herder.

And Parcelan is right, the stances get annoying after a while. All classes get a snare usable at any moment, yet Black Orcs/Swordmasters's need to be done from their 2nd stance, giving anyone a precious 2-3 secs to sprint away.

It's even more annoying when your stances get reset back to 1 whenever some blocks or parries you.

The stance system is just a spinoff from DAOC's combo system, really, or so it seems. I'll have to give one of the stance-using classes a shot to see how it works here.

That got fixed weeks ago.

Also, if you guys really want to try out Order, Monolith is actually relatively balanced. Destruction still outnumbers Order, but not to an extent that makes world RvR completely pointless.

Drifting Castle needs people that don't suck Order side.

Population seems balanced though, just that Destruction side the guilds seem bigger and more organized, and just stomp Order flat since it isn't as organized and has more unguilded/PUG people.

Not rare to see all of the T1 and T2 zones completely under Destruction control.

Was gonna make my Order character on Volkmar, but I have friends on DC too, might have to check that out if the experience bonus applies to that server.

I'd log in and confirm it, but servers are down. :/

Destruction had really been mopping up in T1 and T2, and over the past couple of days, I'm pretty sure they started plowing into T3, and Order has finally gained some ground in Ekrund.

Was pretty fucked up. T1, T2, and T3 Empire vs Chaos zones were all under Destruction control, T1 and T2 Dwarf vs Greenskins and T1 and T2 Dark Elf vs High Elf areas were under Destruction control as well.

The big players for Order are already in T4 I think (and are doing well since they have no competition), but I think that will change as whatever guilds are currently moving through T2 into T3 catch up.

As I said earlier. Lots of cowardly DPS on Order side, and tanks and healers that want to play DPS rather than charging into enemies or healing. In T1, saw a rune priest put out more damage than healing one game. Both stats were under 6k, and they didn't die very much.

This one time, at Maradon! camp:

It's implemented on servers with imbalances in population between Order and Destruction. The side with the lower population gets a 20% bonus to experience and Renown. Specific details here. It appears to be limited to Bechafen and Ungrim Order for the moment.

That being said, the meters are mostly filled with red currently, but I won't be able to say what's going on exactly until a couple of days have passed to allow things to restabilize.

They should totally add a Mordheim scenario or Open RvR area. If they made one that was open RvR, you should only be able to group with your race instead of your realm.

Apparently part of the reason my WAR performance was so bad was because I was unknowingly recording every second of my game time in fraps.

I discovered this when I stumbled across 136gb of uncompressed AVI's of me discussing how gay male dark elves look.

Rank 4 morales suck. The anti-armor abilities will more than make up for a few less points in the tree.
I'm not sure how good broad severing is (if it disarms everyone within 20 feet), since two of your tactics should be kiss of doom and brute force. I will say that Swift Blades is awesome for fighting melee classes combined with the Riposte tactic. You should be able to win any 1v1 fight.

Elixir of Insane Power is balls awesome, since you will be hitting for a minimum of 30% more damage on most targets for those 7 seconds.

I also create my own class

So maybe more like this? I think it was rr80 that gives a rank in all masteries as though you'd spent a point in them; if that's correct, you could get the Path of Carnage morale ability with that last point.
