PVP, despite the massive overhaul, has become less enjoyable to me than it was previously. There will be weeks at a time where I completely avoid it because I don’t want to deal with the same 3 teams every time.
Any match anymore boils down to which elementalist wand of stars can cast first. And it’s obnoxious. “If you don’t like it don’t play it” usually works until you need a reward in which pvp is the most reliable way to get some, like books.
I played Tauros teams in Broken Lands today and it was okay. No Stella, No Shaka, a few wands but lots of other weapons. I even used Shaman class! Only got beat once or twice. I’m still not crazy about PVP but it is LESS BAD when you play in one of the kingdoms where those troops are not eligible.
