  • zerk mabye if they're bad, and honestly there aren't many good zerks left. Current zerk can be scary fast if they're good enough and have low ping, almost as fast as warr but kds and ww are very good at countering zerk's kd's. i think zerk is stronger than slayer overall but its one of the few classes where the zerk will have to play better than you if he wants to win.

    Slayer stands absolutely zero chance against sorc especially now after the revamp. you will literally never get close to him if he doesn't want you to. sorc vs slayer was never a good matchup for slayer even back during lvl 60 and vm1/vm2 a skilled sorc could control a slayer and stand a pretty good chance against him. after warp barrier though now even an average sorc can just shut down anything a slayer could ever dream of doing to the sorc. you wont get even a single hit in unless the sorc makes a critical mistake.

    Sorcerers are Slayers worst nightmare if they know their class well and have decent knowledge on Slayers...

    Sorc actually have every utility to counter Slayers initiate, such as warp barrier, teleport, traps and stagg to name a few, which absolutely shuts Slayers down...

    Very hard to bait the utilities out as a good Sorc wouldn't randomly use it, they'd wait for Slayers initiate and then use for example warp barrier as Slayers backstab, because of Slayers long cooldowns they can't really initiate again for awhile and when it goes off CD, Sorc will already have their abilities back to counter your initiate again.

    Very difficult match up and almost impossible to win against.

    I also feel like Ninja's is a skill match up, if either one of the classes mess up it's a one combo, but probably more in ninja's favour for the constant pressure, iframes, staggers and immense mobility.

    In my opinion I think we crush Archers if we play right and not like a moron, kind of a skill match up but I'd say more in Slayers favour if you don't get too greedy.

    I think Slayer is the lowest tbh, most players say the same and I agree for someone thats played slayer for a very longtime and at top level.
  • Lancer is easy. The problem is other classes are easier. I am not saying im good at lancer but i sure as hell know that class inside out. Unless you are some hp regen lancer aka braindead you are going to have problems against semidecent ppl 1v1. Oh also...yall are [filtered] hehe xd.
  • What exactly is considered "top level"? I feel like that kind of phrase is being thrown around a lot here and kind of loosely....

    Obviously top 100 in Corsair's Stronghold!
  • "Top level" meaning playing the class at a high level and with consistency, and barely losing to other Slayer in a 1v1, although thats not really an achievement as theres barely any Slayers and not very good ones at the class either.

    But the meaning generally means playing/doing something at a high level, doesn't mean you're the very best though.

    Don't forget Gridiron too!

  • Can I ask who your Slayer is in game then?

    Also rip Kuma's respect :/
  • Just Madheadjosh mate, Killian server.

    Kuma's is good fun too!

    Let's face it there isn't any more top level people left since they killed pvp. Most of the people calling themselves top are narcissistic.

    Just my 2 cent.
    Some class may suck in 1v1 but it's also cause they are better off in other situations. Tera isn't meant to be a 1v1 game.
  • Oh.... EU.... No way of knowing how you actually stack up then.

    Lux is right though. Team game.
  • Yeah ofc, but I enjoy 1v1's more than mass pvp, just because of the immense desyncs and shadowy figures...

    In general I feel the game is unfair, but I don't want to make my seem arrogant, just wanted to make a point about a class though.

    And yeah EU sucks, kinda regret switching to EU, my ping was good in NA version.

    Feelsbadman.
  • Reaper/ninja/brawler/gunner outSKILLS other classes in 1v1 no matter how braindead the player is. Ever seen an hp regen reaper? One combo heals like %30 of hp. How is that fun to fight against? You say you enjoy 1v1 i used to do too but now every class is broken except slayer and lancer. (Again, unless you have hp regen rolls on lancer...then you are not very tanky anywhere but 1v1). Also if FF archers consider themselves 'good' then they really have never seen a good archer in action lmao.

    You need to duel good sorcs on MT (If any are left) . Seems all the sorcs you played dunno what flame pillar and magma bomb(lightning now) are. There is also the proper use of gyre and siphon. Then there is nova on a relative medium cd with anti cc(kd/stagger) if you think your gonna get kd/stagger comboed. Warp barrier isnt the only thing in their kit besides sleep and stun.

    The majority of these kids dont know the struggle of getting a high enough ELO to purchase pvp gloves(1800+ skyring rating) lol

    I think Slayer loses to Lancer, Warrior, and Reaper. I think they win against Archers, Sorcs, and Berserkers, and they go about even with everyone else. That's why I placed them in the spot they are on the list. Slayer does lose to AStance Warrior, but I believe AStance Warr has more troubles with more classes than Slayer does, which is why I placed them lower. Slayers aren't good, but they're not trash tier like everyone makes them out to be, either. They're in a pretty decent spot overall.

    Warp Barrier is a really good skill, I agree. I'd probably place Sorc just a little bit higher on the list because of it. The only problem with them is that most classes can just eat Lightning/Painful Traps, making playing keepaway with Sorc a lot harder. Since the cooldowns on them are so long, having your traps eaten with Tenacity, absorbed with super armor, or just blocked make life as a Sorc really painful. Also when forced to approach, Sorcs have it pretty rough with their only options really being Lightning Strike > Mindblast or Flame PIllar > Lightning Trap. On top of that, most classes can just completely ignore Time Gyre with the movement of their skills or Tenacity.

    I think revamped Archer actually has a worse chance against Slayer without Salvo resets. Charge is a good skill, but the cooldown is so long and every class already has a mobility skill like that anyway on a much, much shorter cooldown.

    slayer loses 1v1 in equal skill matchup to everything but ninja and astance warrior. idk how u say astance warrior beats slayers when it's one of the easiest matchups. may be even with the current archer if you can ignore the blazing difference in dmg, haven't dueled since rework.. I'm talking about in uneq setting btw, not eq trash gear that you all have gotten used to.
  • Mana siphon in duels.... no comment lmao

    But EQ Slayer? Hell ya that's great lol the armor sucks enough that even slayers feel strong :D
