The reason why? No dodge ability. Yeah sure in WoW if you have the L337est gear and are the right class you can dodge 1 out of 20 shots but lets face it, you cant control the pace of the battle with your keys, only your chars gear and/or your class. PvP needs to be more about a person's skill and less on gear/level. For instance look at Asheron's Call(I use this game alot in compairing games because personally I think it has the best PvP system out there even though its like 8 years old.) In AC you use the Z and C keys to strafe right and left, and while you are casting you can strafe right and left. As an archer you can choose to shoot fast or to use more power, same with melees. Now adays they just have a hotkey were you use cominations of the same buttons and dont even move. Just run up to a player, press 2 4 5, use potion, 2 1 5, etc. I find that extreamly boring and not fun at all. For anyone who has not played AC and loves PvP play AC give it a try, it has by far the best combat system of any game out there. 5 stars out of 5 |

I agree with you. However you seem to imply that WoW should have active defense ? I didn't play AC for example, but I find it very unlikely to be feasible in WoW chaotic PvP with huge numbers of players (40vs40). What's the point of actively dodging when it's unlikely that in reality you would dodge anything in a massive battle like this. It may be interesting for small scale battles but WoW isn't about that, so I think the choice that they made was good.

In city of heroes you can spec for unsupressed combat so that you can toss fireballs, etc while on the move. some of the best combat ever. too bad all the other flaws makes it a poor choice for PvP (inability to respec, many powersets not balanced, etc)
