Its funny cause in Wars our range feel like the contribute nothing to wars especially when attacking it just ends up being a shoot out with the other range beause shooting anyone in plate is pointless and just scratches them and any plate healer can out heal 2-3 range hitting them aswell so cant kill the vital targets so it end up being the musket/bows and up shooting eachother the whole game lol
I always play melee, I always play heavy. Not going to change that to adopt to some FOTM in New World. Is it annoying that actually engaging in PvP in OPR is completely worthless because as a tank you’ll not make the cut? Yes. But that’s not going to stop me from playing as melee, heavy. I’ll just go farm NPC’s for points till AGS fixes the game mode instead.
That actually doesn’t work anymore after the patch I don’t think, unless they changed when you have to block to cancel the animation. I haven’t gotten it to work at least.
Yay more CC in the never ending CC - low skill - combat that new world offers.
You sound upset…
Show us where on the Melee Doll that they touched you…
“Dancing in Sacred Ground because they are unkillable?”
How bad are you or the DPS on your server?
Please AGS stop gutting weapons. Small incremental changes. Dont change so much at one time. and Fix the underlying combat system. It feels laggy and we actually have to slow our play down to see if the servers are going to teleport us around the map before we waste our next ability.

I’m playing melee with hatchet and hammer or hatchet and void gauntlet.
I had never played hatchet before always relying on the great axe. But, now use it exclusively in open world pvp and OPR. Berserk allows some level of catching up. Feral Rush lets me hit them when they are running away. Path of destiny provides a slow. And, if I get caught in a void gauntlet root: Shockwave and clearout provide enough defensive distance to get out of the void circle while taking little damage.
Using void gauntlet in a melee build is a force multiplier (I fit all str and my void gauntlet has 19 str 9 con). The oblivion circle adds 20% damage. Scream does 3 second root and you have the option of getting 20% life leach on single targets.
I have found it to be extremely important to have plagued strikes on my hatchet and/or putrefying scream for the void gauntlet. These reduce the players ability to heal. Making healing circles and potions less effective. Applying putrefying scream on a target almost always insures they will die during that root during group combat as a single healer cannot heal them enough against the dps.
I’ll just keep playing melee, closed combat is a man’s thing.

In all seriousnes tanks are okay in pvp, they crush ranged players and light armor, but they get obliterated by Void gauntlet/ice gauntlet and spear. Those are the biggest problems.
Void gauntlet just out dpses and have bigger sustain, aswell as magic and aoe damage.
Spear breaks guard instantly so you cant really block allot.
And ice gauntlet is well… Ice gauntlet 
Id say its fine that ss has a counter But i dont believe it should be spear. It should just be magic users. So if spear shield damage was nerfed id be happy tbh.

Lol you know nothing 
100% ranged team will 100% lose any OPR or War. There is nothing to discuss its a fact.
what makes you say that?
Well, since I specifically said in my post OPR and not WAR, you’d be right to say you wouldn’t win a WAR with only ranged there genius lmao. You don’t need melee to win OPR though.
Well like i said in my comment OPR or War, you never win a OPR with just ranged… OPR is even worse cuz you just can wait for the ranged player to enter the point and destroy them, they dont enter, they never cap a point. Doing dmg from outside, its useless just stand in a healing circle and move. As long you need to cap a point there is no way a ranged team win over a meele team.
Patched …
Yes you still need shields/GA/WH in wars. Being able to chain cc and survive chain cc is what determines the winner
get a cc weapon instead of WH, or equip rapier+spear for solo pvp. The other option is to wear light armor to catch up. you can’t have everything in the world in one build.
