What Makes WL so OP?

[Cokhollywood]

I keep seeing comments on other threads that refer to WL as overpowered. I’m pretty new to the game.

I feel like I’m missing something. I’ve leveled a WL and an SW to 49 and 33 respectively.

In RvR i farm about 3x more kills with my scaled level 33 Shadow Warrior, and 1v1s feel much more manageable.

I have half beast lord and half redeye on the WL and he still doesn’t feel very strong. From 37-39 he felt very strong in scenarios and I was usually top damage/DB’s and felt impactful. I have yet to feel strong in solo roaming, though, which was something I was hoping to do eventually, as I prefer it over zerg vs zerg pvp in most MMOs.

Now I feel like every level 40 I encounter wastes me in 1v1, and in RvR I might get a whirling axe or two off before I die or a couple hits of damage on tanks before their wave backs off. If I try and leap in to flank a backline, I usually get wasted very quickly.

I come from playing Warrior in WoW so I’m very used to playing a non-self healing, mobile melee dps that requires a lot of support to succeed. Smart/tactful positioning, bruiser peeling for your backline, etc.

The thing to me is: they don’t seem very overpowered to me. They seem like they’re great at small skirm pvp with good healers, but this is true of slayers/choppas/marauders as well, and I don’t feel like I’m outperforming those classes. They feel super dependent on their team, and extraordinarily squishy. The pet also dies constantly at level 40.

The burst I had at 38-39 pretty much evaporated as soon as I got to the 40+ bracket and now every kill feels like a slog unless the other team got gipped on healers in matchmaking.

So what am I missing? Why is it that everyone parrots the idea that WL is OP? What makes them so strong?

RoR.builders - White Lion When people say WL is OP they mean this. 24ae cap (With 25% Healdebuff proc wpn) and 25% Armour Penetration on 2 Aoe Abilities and Whirling Axe dmg is absurdly High 337x4(Highest hitting ability on Wl is 434 and its Cull the weak or 434 Spirit dmg needs tactic) which is 1350dmg in 3s every 10seconds to everyone AROUND you, not just in front of you.

You will feel powerful like 37-39 sc's when you are rr60 and equipped with pve gear and Vanquisher. Even more powerful with triumphant and rr80=) Watch the video below to boost your morale while leveling your Wl! Dont become part of the Warteam racing blob and playing with loner bs!
