  • As a black orc player I can say that my knockback ability doesn't cut it.  It's absolutly nothing compared to the order knockbacks and from my experience it's not just ironbreakers that can knock people back.  Pretty much all the order classes can do it.  I seriously hope they adjust this in the 1.1 patch.

• • Healers are Overpowered

  • I understand your point on getting into a good guild.  I'm planning on joining my friends guild they played wow on so they'll probably be using voice communication.  I was just unsure if I was doing something wrong or if it's the people I get grouped with when I click to join solo in a scenario since I'm not with a guild at this time.  I always seem to find myself alone all of a sudden with no objectives met and then I'm easy pickens for the group of order players that surround me hehe.

    At least I guess I'm keeping those people occupied, but it would sure help if the people in my party would stick together instead of running off everywhere or whatever they are doing.

      Here's the thing that you REALLY need to remember. Healers are annoying cause you can't kill them, but your actually ARE killing someone when you nuke the healer, just not the healer. The more time you keep a healer focused on keeping himself alive the less he's healing his teammates. You may not drop the healer but I guarantee his will friends start dropping pretty quick if you keep him occupied. You can either keep a healer focused on keeping himself alive, or focused on keeping his entire group alive. I'd say that even though your not killing the healer your still providing a valuable service to your team. 

      Example, I was playing a IB in a scenario, came flying up behind the enemy line and assaulted their two healers,just annoying them really. But both healers, sensing an easy kill, chased me down, took em a minute to kill me since I was running to beat hell by that time. Sounds like I accomplished nothing right? By the time the two healers got back to healing their teammates the entire team was dead, and the healers got swamped. So I was, IN FACT, directly responsible for getting the entire enemy team wiped.

      I get so tired of people playing the scenarios like the only point of it is to get to the top of the Total Damage done list. It's objective based gameplay yet too many people play it like its a simple deathmatch game, ignoring objectives to go play chase the squishy.

    I'm not a seasoned pvp player.  Played a little in swg and tried to in wow (couldn't last too long in wow), I keep running in warhammer with the group to the objective and then try to tank, but I must be doing something wrong.  When I notice the player I'm trying to keep on me is getting healed I'll go after the healer, but by then I notice the entire group I was with has left the area and I'm all alone with what seems the entire order group coming after me lol.  Needless to say I won't last long alone. 
     

    I'm trying to find out how to better play the tank role in warhammer on different forums, but just haven't found the right information yet.  You're saying to yes, go after the healer and keep them busy on you and I've seen others here saying a tank should be protecting the healers.  I'd do that if there were actually people healing, but it seems they're always nowhere to be found when I turn around.  People got me chasing them all around the room with the flag that the group was originaly going after.  They don't stand still hehe. 

    I'm really trying to learn how to pvp better so I'll be more help and possibly make it so we'd win a match here and there.  So far I've been in alot of scenarios in the greenskin starter area and the destruction side on the server I'm playing has only won the round a few times that I've been a part of.  It really seems like the order side is more together with their team than the destruction.  It may be different on other servers though. 

    I'm not like the original poster though.  I think the classes are all balanced more than likely.  I'm just unsure on what my main objective for my class should be.  I stay alive alot longer than I have in any other mmo I've played that I attempted to pvp in, that's what's making the black orc tank fun for me.  It's not fun to die immediately, at least it takes a group to take me down in this game.  I just always wonder where the team is when I am all of a sudden all alone.  It seems they are always at another objective room trying to get that and have just given up the other areas I guess. 

    I usually get killed by a bunch of players that are sticking together and once I die it's hard to find anyone from my side again.  I figure they too are either dead or somewhere on the other side of all the order players.  At that point it's pretty hard to get to where they are if I have to run through 10 people beating on me to get to them lol.  What am I doing wrong here?  Any help would be appriciated.
