I'm trying to get some more feedback on this... the advantages and disadvantages of each class... and info on their new 77 and 78 skills....
basically i just came back to the game after 2 months and i have both a 61 destroyer and a 59 da. i don't know which one to pick now. i i'm tired of rerolling.. i guess i want one that is going to be better in pvp. i know both classes changed alittle in c4 but i don't know first hand how the changes effected them.
skills i'm wondering about
da physical mirror and shield slam.. i know what they both say they do but some people well me all shield slam does is disables a skill there using at the time u use it(website says stop the skill and disarms them).. and what does physical mirror accualy reflect? poison bleed stuns?
destroyer skill armor crush how often does this land.
and i guess which is easier to lvl. any other info u want to throw in would be helpful... thx alot
If you are looking for PvP than I will have to say Destroyer. They do tons of damage in PvP with both their swords and bows, and they make great meatshields.
The DA may have some new summons, but these summons are not only expensive, you also have to buy them SS in order for them to really pack a punch. Although that isn't to say they are bad at PvP, just require more $$$ in order to dish out some damage.
I would have to agree with fox. As a nuker I fear the destroyer more then the DA. This is due to the rediculously high hp/cp they have, lionheart, stun, massive melee damage, guts, frenzy, battle roar, vicious stance. All of that tends to mean lots of hurting on targets. Pull out a bow, vicious stance, frenzy, and you will 1-shot mages and most other classes as well.
Destroyer is all in all more versatile than a DA. DA has the panther, shield stun and a drain. Destro has 2 dmg dealing stuns, 2 main dmg dealing strikes and then a CP eating aoe pole skill and 2 dmg dealing pole skills(1 aoe). Also, you can really play with your stats and make the ultimate dmg dealer or you can choose to go the way of the meatshield(whereas a DA will always be considered just as a meatshield, cant really boost the dmg on it too much.) and even then you will be able to deal lots of dmg. Rage alone negates the -str if you choose the path of a CON destro. And if you go for STR, it enhances your damage to massive numbers.
Ps. Didnt take 3rd class skills into consideration at all ;)
i went with the da.. i dont really want the best char in seiges i rather havea better char in open pvp for clan wars and 1v1...... a seige once every 2 weeks is ok i guess,,,, besides it just seems there are no good da u guys are going up against and this game needs more
DA's are to be feared in 1v1 pvp and even in sieges. Not many people notice the panther charging around tearing up the nuker ranks. DA also have some sweet M def and the deflect arrow/shield masteries really tell archers where to go. The biggest threat in sieges are nukers and archers, DA does better aginst these then the Destroyer. Destroyers are only really good at fighting other melee classes. There to fat and slow and have inefficnent m def to stand up to a nuker and archer onslaught.
DA's can go hammer time on melees also, and hold their own.
That is true SPS, our panther = our dmg x2 (when buffed (mine is always buffed)) and ppl think that the panther sux so they never try to kill it, huge mistake ^^
Da got deflec arrow, and we can even slow down the kitter, its all good.
When ppl try to kit in pvp vs Da, they got the panther on them anyway, and if we ever manage to get close enough to land a shield stun, it start to smel bad for them =)

that was true back in c3 noone ever attacked my golem
i think word got out that it has double my pattack and half my pdef and mdef though
rarely do i have a fight where the golem isnt killed in the first few seconds
They have always died easily, but people would rather target a player for a confirmed kill then attack a summon. Also DA has hamstring which is awsome for using on mages/archers.
