Too bad for you. I've been on a number of teams that have come back after losing round 1. We adjusted tactics, focus fire targets, and cc targets. We switched targets as needed, i.e. sorc bubble, mar 99% dmg redux buff up, etc... then switched back when buff was over. One person moving the target reticle to next target for pugs and team mates that pay attention make a world of difference.

Do the grind, get the gear, learn your class... It's a part of every MMO. Que and get a good team, Que and get a bad team... fight against a premade. Again, It's a part of every MMO. Griping about petty crap that is easily fixed by.... You getting the gear and learning your class and forming your own premade. OMG! I just solved the problem.

I forgot to hit the unbalanced aspect. It simply blows my mind how people say this class or that class is op. I've killed every class in the game and been killed by every class in the game. Oh by the way, I also play almost every class in the game. There are counters to just about every skill in the game that can be performed by all the classes. Learn them. You will find a very balanced game once you do.

The game is still alive and well. Warzones are still fun and I still have very small wait times for wz's. Since wz's are all I do in this game, I would have left already if that wasn't the case. If you think it's dead... leave.

This is a silly thread... premades vs pugs... = bad? well... form your own premade! You have the same options the premade team has. Guess what though, I've been on as many pug teams that demolished the premades as I have those that lost. If you don't like fighting against premades, form your own. Look at that! Problem solved!

A team that knows how to properly rotate cc's and focus fire with no heals can overcome a team with two healers. It's not as much about the class makeup as it is effective teamwork and communication. In a pug you can create a plan of attack prior to starting... adjust 2nd round if needed. Communication is the problem. An easy way around this is to have markers hot keyed and rotate markers as needed. I.E. Sorc bubbles up... shift target from sorc to second heals... bubble is down back to sorc.... The skill of the players you are playing with and against is more important than class makeup.

I've searched for guides and videos all over for my sin/shadow. Xeneka/Shinarika has become the only videos I will watch, always clear, precise, and with sime kick *** music to go along with them. She has posted a guide or video after just about every update it seems. Her videos include min/max guides, gear guides, guides for each spec of the class. She has done an amazing job. No I'm not a guildie of hers. I've never chatted with her. She's not on my friends list. I've never had any contact other than watching the great product she put out. If you haven't checked out her vids, go to youtube and look her up. Older updates are under shinarika. The newer ones are under aonetta era if I'm not mistaken on the spelling.
