Yeh I think I need to upgrade ma gear. Also this is less of a 1v1 thread as it is a 'how does it fare in a warzone'. I think Im just finding it difficult because
a) the healers are either non-existent or just downers
b) If I manage to kill someone 1v1 and there is another enemy around and I hav maybe hit the enemy once on an aoe I am stuck in combat for a while and am unable to heal up / get out of combat for a very long time.
I guess im just annoyed that the transition from combat to out of combat in warzones is a bit rough atm and kind of inconsistent. I often find myself just sitting behind a pillar waiting to get out of combat so I can go somewhere and heal. Feels a bit derp wen im just sitting there for ages until either someone comes along and kills me because Im low or Im just idling for a very long time.
Anyone know how the in combat / out of combat thing works? Lets say I hit an enemy once and we dont engage at all after that, how long does it take to get out of combat?
#Edit: To all those l2p ppl I make use of all my stuns / CDs as often as I can - I hav every single available slot key bound. In fact I hav more keybinds in this game then I do in wow.

Yeh I figured this but it does giv the classes that flourish from being stealthed a bit of a disadvantage. Which is why im saying the class could do with a heal or a better defensive CD. I forsee this being difficult to balance in the future. But I sure hope they come up with something genius!

Sith Assassin underpowered in PvP? Wait what?...
Sith Assassin specced into Deception can take down anyone 1vs1 if played right..
Level 39 here. I'll admit.....until a few levels ago I had my doubts about being an assassin. The damage output seemed rather week until few days ago.
I will say though, I am not the conventional tank/dps build, nor am I the standard deception build. I prefer the hybrid tree (madness) which allows for a crap load of dots and (and self healing.)
It's rather funny to watch people try and kite an assassin as he tosses insta cast dot procs on your ass from quite a ways away. People tend not to expect this.
Highly recommend it.
You should try PvPing as any Sith Warrior, JUggernaut or Marauder. At level 20, you get no stuns, no knockbacks, no CC, nothing. You can slow people, and that's that. And if you're an unlucky bastard like me who keeps getting Huttball, then you're gonna be raging a lot. I ended up rerolling into a sorceror. So much better.
Not even max level, but yet label as class as been bad, and reroll to what's "better". If you'd of played for 6 more levels you'd of had your CC. Force Choke, Force Push, two taunts to stop damage aswell to your allies. You actually gave up one of the best classes, Juggs are one of the best classes for Huttball, stop going after only kills and you'll see why.
They can take down consulars very fast if doing coordinated burst with other players, but 1v1 they will get rocked by a decent consular the way rogues get rocked by mages in a certain other MMO.

Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
As of now Ranged will beat Melee easily until you level up a bit, gain more CC's/Stuns and more power hits.

IF I HAD ONE
Wtf is wrong with you... got a lvl 30 sith assasin and it fkin pwns in pvp..... This is not wow and you will not cc to death a class in 4 seconds.... get used to the game... I am lvl 25 valor rank in pvp.... I get 4k crits with the backstab as starter and i just got another stun besides the lightning one and it fkin rocks.
Sin pwns in pvp if u pick target with care not run into groups and expect to own them..... you believed this is wow.... jez
You guys can argue with this all you want but usually MMO's are not balanced around 1v1, the OP (SkyBlueAri)'s problem all describe 1 vs. 1 situations, meaning that it is exactly what Drigoly said, it's not balanced around that.
Now if I had to guess, if he works in a group with the rest of his team mates he does fine unless they are out numbered or focus him down, is that right?
