They are awesome, but the general rules apply, dont be greedy, choose youre fights, be aware, know against who your build is made, pots cooldown etc. Check 360 all the time.

Bad.
Nerfed many times and now with the weaponskill nerfs worse.

You cannot kill healers
You're also not a good soloist and will find yourself fighting actually strong destr soloists like magus/ shaman/ chosen that will autowin you with equal skill/ gear.

Overall i wouldn't recommend one in the current state, unless you really have a fondness for the aesthetics, gun-play etc. Then go ahead.

The main problem with the WH is that they were simply overnerfed to a point were just playing another dps class is a much better option if you're asking about the performance of the class.

White lions/SW's etc you are invited to warbands, 6 mans , the WH used to excel in solo but it can no longer defeat the stronger Destro solo classes assuming equal gear or skill.

So what's the point? To target underleveled/geared players? I guess if that's your thing.

If you must stealth around then pick the Witch elf.

Whilst her left tree dps spec is meh like WH, her middle tree with a more defensive build is a far better choice for solo, you can defeat the strongest Order solo roamers with it, something WH can't do with the destro equivalents, a regen chosen will destroy you, a Magus etc, a good hybrid shaman kite/laugh multiple WH''s at the same time.

If you are truly passionate you can still make it work to some extent, you'll need BIS gear( i mean that, best gear in every slot) and you'll need to try-hard on potions, liniments etc and then develop great skills, just be better than your targets.

So, if you out-gear or out-skill your opponent you can be one of those WH''s still scoring on the killboard, otherwise just roll something the game wants you to roll, WH is not it.

I've been enjoying the parties of 4-5 WHs that roam around and gank. It's hilarious even on the receiving end.

Play one if you like the lore simple as that

Hit and run assassins (solo)
A reasonable RvR system that could make the majority happy http://imgur.com/HL6cgl7

Same. That's why they are v popular. But its the naked elf chick no one wants to play except weirdos that is good.

Of course, it's always the others who are good. You want to say there are so many in the rvr zones because of aesthetics? All those players would play WE otherwise?
Dying is no option.
