Yea, it makes more sense to have low damage in PVP. Yall have a lot of iframes a lot of AOE and CC. As a gladiator, I can't even scratch an ArcMage if they know what they are doing. Just learn your class bro.
Damage is fine, but the dang CC is just so unreliable.
Sometimes they work and can down shields, other times they just whiff.
We tested this in the friendly arena, with knoweldge of what phases of the skills do damage and apply CC effects.
Doesn't matter if the character is just standing there with shields up. Sometimes CC just won't apply.
