Not going to post my builds as they're nothing different to any other fully geared Hunter, I swap the odd jewel out to add a bunch of morale and mits are capped at 50%, or 58% in survival trait setup. Whilst agreed, the utterly ridiculous numbers posted are more often than not on freeps less well geared, as one of those who is fully geared (more or less), I still take numbers far in excess of what I can fight against given the CC and healing disadvantage Hunter has.
Lol so much stupid in your posts it's hard to rebut.
1) Yes, of course it does, a good Warg knows how to trait, you clearly don't. A good Warg will use skills that buff damage substantially (Rend, Puddle, for example) and will have rotations that DOUBLE the DPS of a mediocre Warg like yourself, what you're implying is that with a better player behind the wheel, there's no difference, which is simply a laughable statement.
2) Wargs no longer have "out of stealth" hits, Shadow stance (for about 5 years now lol) has granted 100% "In stealth" type hits for all except Pounce, meaning Claws in stealth hits just as stupidly hard as Claws outside of stealth and vice versa. For someone who claims to be an excellent warg, this is phenomenally basic information you seem unaware of.
3) 5 other skills? 15k+? Yeah sure, 15k on glass wargs that have no idea what they're doing, meanwhile that same warg is doing 15k on Freeps who are built with mits.
4) Okay, so now we're talking with debuffs only earlier you told me that's not the case? Which is it? With debuffs the insanity-level numbers creeps are hitting for at the moment goes up by a factor of two. Same for Freeps, sure, I can hit creeps for upwards of 60k when they have Oathies, debuffs, I have blade-bro and 4 ops, but in that scenario a warg will two-shot a geared Freep lol.
5) I solo on a Hunter, I've soloed on every class over the years, I'm a solo and small grouper by definition, I fight almost permanently massively outnumbered (talking 3v20+) and have done so for the entirety of lotro's life, I am by no means someone who wants the game to be easy, I want it to be fun and challenging but reasonable. At the moment it is in no way "reasonable", stepping out of GV to have a BAD warg annihilate a competent Freep in under 5-6 seconds is not fun pvp, even if you seem to think so from the easiest class Creepside has to offer (outside of Spider).
