I don’t think you’ve ever been in a war
whys this guy so triggered
Says the troll
how is he trolling?
People hate the truth so much they have graduated to terms like troll and toxic, they can’t understand they simply aren’t good at a game
Heavy is only better when your evenly trading damage.
Ranged does not fight like that so there is no reason to be in heavy. Unless your the decoy damage sponge that stands out in the open looking to soak up bullets 
As for melee… Those who don’t fight fair and group up may find value in medium armor as they can bust down people caught in their path. No need to be in heavy if your not going to die. Might as well clear people out faster.
This is absolutely NOT what should happen unless you’re face tanking the whole fight
what? medium is best for all kinds of content except wars for everyone including melee.
if you have 2 GA/WH players dueling, one in heavy and one in medium and they both know what they are doing, the guy in medium will win 90% of the time.
the only time heavy might end up better is if its 2 really bad players that just spam left click and dont know how/what to dodge.
you mean the OPR’s where you spend 40 minutes running away from the giant clump of GA/Hammer users in heavy. That just spam the gravity and other catch abilities until they catch someone and insta delete them? Yeah the meta is garbage, the games all play out the same and there is no small scale pvp. I actually think one easy fix is to remove the movement penalty for attacking and dodge.
So I agree medium is better, I’m saying the same thing. If people don’t know how to play and blindly hit each other then the OP might be right that a heavy build could win
So let me get this right, you do almost 2.2m damage in a war, and then complain about 90% of your damage being soaked up? Just curious about the numbers here. If this is your experience, it is beyond me how you can have an issue with the meta, unless ofc this screenshot was taken during hatchet bug.
yea you got it thats my experence kinda makes me regret spending hundreds of hours getting bis 600 gs gear to do f all and get run over from a zerg of gaxes that soak all my damage
If you run 200 con in pvp, then you won’t be able to kill anyone because you totally lack dps. Imo this is a troll post from someone unable to one-shot everybody else.
OP has some good points.
The problem is that STR or INT or DEX does not increase damage in a linear way. There are diminishing returns.
Going 250/200 will make you VERY tanky, and this is especially true for STR builds going full heavy armor, because they don’t care about the mobility from light/medium gear. However, I see mages running it too, especially with the VG.
With 250 INT/DEX/STR you’re not losing a lot of damage compared to 300 or even 350.
Check the numbers in game and report back.
You can’t say that by running 250 STR, you totally lack dps. That’s just not true.
You reduce your dps by far less than you increase your defense by going 250/200, compared to 300/150
Post your build, let’s see then.
The problem with game balance is reacting to every pvp complaints. Today they want VG and Rapier nerfed, yesterday it was life staff, GA, WH, the day before was FS/IG… on and on it will go.
The problem in PvP is the player, lack of skill or lack of gear, unwillingness to use the perks that would make them better etc. Just because you die does not mean the weapon used by someone else is OP. Just because you can’t kill someone as fast as you would like doesn’t mean they are OP.
Quit crying about everything and anything, just play the game find ways to improve you skill/gear etc.
If you are in 500GS gear and fight someone in 600GS, you are at a huge disadvantage, regardless of what weapons are used.
Make sure you pay the city taxes and I may post it for you
No huevos?
