Thanks.

WL needs big buff to be honest. You should wait on rolling one. See below list for OP Order class breakdown.

DPS AM>WL
DPS WP>WL
ASW>WL
RU/Canada/Spain>EU
NA Prime>EU Prime

Yes, WL is a very strong class. It has hyper mobility, probably the highest burst in the game in addition to CCs. Plus the pet hits pretty hard as well. It demolishes pugs while ZERO effort. (that's the main complaint, it feels cheap)

The cons are that its basically a single target class, so its role in warbands is limited. Also, premade groups can quickly focus and kill the pet leaving you without most of your burst potential.

If you like the idea of destroying average players, squishies or pugs in 2-3 buttons and feel OP, its definetely a good choice for you. However keep in mind that the more organized the opposition becomes, the more irrelevant your kit will be.

Only class in the game with frontload burst whose entire concept is kinda stupid in a pvp game, look at order and you can see that the number of that class outnumbers every other mdps.

The only time you will struggle is if you do "competitive 6v6", not that it matters since that community is so small that its basically non existent

WL outperform in terms of mobility his mirror class. An others - except for SH.

WL Fetch is joke compared to Mara pull [which was buffed] since its dependable on pet - which bug a lot [lag, massive fights, zone changing and your pet is either running to other side of map or simply gone, playing loner aint much option since you loose most of your utility/cc without it] and die in no time.

All classes had major / minor changes to their skills/trees multiple times, some got massive buffs [and they kept them] WL had some changes but ppl whined and they got reverted [unlike WE, Maras or Sorc which are ridiculous at some point] - but all WL got is one aoe tactic [not even comparable to Mara stance] and everything else got reverted to pretty much vanilla state.

We were told WL is goin to be reworked... But after half year its all the same [probably "working as intended(r)"] and no word has been heard since...

The first is true for debuffs, not for CC utility. You can counter CC better on WL due to pounce.

Outside 6vs6 and bigger, the pet lives long enough to do its work. Pet cd is short and can be called on the move. Compare it with SH.

Anyone already mentioned WL is a melee class WITHOUT the MAIN drawback of being melee?
