ok first off i wasnt sure if i should post this is the pvp or general board, because it is pvp related but i find it to be more of a discussion piece. anyways....
am i the only person that prefers low level pvp? i have multiple characters in the sl 100 to 120 and even some as high as 250 and it is absolutely boring pvping with characters that high. once you reach a certain level i find that you loose specialization that makes your character unique. part of this is the game engines fault for making skills past 40 almost worthless so your almost forced to put points into other areas. is this necessarily bad? i dont think so, it rounds out your character and makes it even more of a beast. but on the flip side it also make your character more a less just like everyone elses character. sure people will use different armor and weapons but i feel that once you go above sl 80 you completely loose individuality.
when you pvp at lower levels you (usually) face off agains characters with more of a specialization. people know exactly what they wanna do with their character and they maxamize thier SL to turn this character into a powerhouse. this is easily seen by anyone who has ever done a SL 1 run. by the time you beat O&S you are generally so good at dodging that your low health doesnt matter, and your weapons are already maxed, pushing out rediculous ammounts of damage. with just a handfull of levels pumped into that character it can be turned into a unstoppable force. sure you wont be able to crystal weapon your dragon king greataxe with a low level character, but thats the point. when you specialize, and make adjustments, maybe even sacrafice one talent to increase another you end up with a much better killing machine, and more tallented players using them.
ok im done ranting, thanks for listening.
