You do not die in 3 hits, its so glorious, buggy(some of our guildmates spawned in tier 3 gear), but very fun.
Since most of the speed gear(brandish,vog,flourish BTB) and power gear(GF/DA) was not available, it made the game depend more on skill and tactics rather than who is running the fastest and most powerful gear set.
I think this is a good example for me that lockdown would be overall more fun if special damage resistances(elemental,pierce and shadow) scaled more than they do now. If you have none of the proper defense, than it should hurt a lot (like 1-2 hit kills for a charge attack). If you have lots of the proper defense, then it should reduce the damage more than it does now.
just tried to play t2 for 30 minutes. it could not find a game... no ones doing t1/t2 atm
