I think for a dps to build defensively there should be some give and take, but it's just give and then give some more with how it currently is, am I mistaken?
I understand kill the pet, but they just run away with immunity, and come back with a vengeance
I run a small scale greenskin RvR guild, and we consistently have problems against the guardian lion. Most often we outnumber them, and on 2 occasions we have even been defeated by a single guardian white lion with 3 of us.
We aren't elites or pros, we are casual players, but there is not a single class/build that drives fear into our little green hearts more than seeing that dang lion. We know how to guard swap/detaunt/ap drain. The abilities are used, sometimes it doesn't even matter though.
Lately I only notice me and my guild running small scale, everyone else is blobbed up besides a few solo players. Is this just the way it is now? I know were not the only ones who like a good smallscale romp! See you out there tomorrow hope fully and thanks for reading
