I think it's fair to say that playing a dexer or a mage both requires skill in their own way. Both are capable of making mistakes or being victims of bad RNG, or situations that are sometimes out of our control; such as running into mobs or choke points that will slow you down, or objects that get in your way to block you. A dexer here has a lot of inherent disadvantages, but with good or decent RNG they are capable of being effective. For me, it has taken years of trial and error to better learn them in field PvP. A lot is going on in these fights. These are templates that require patience, I've learned to deal with these disadvantages and try to find a way to get around those in every fight by constantly trying to improve; even by watching my own videos to find flaws in my own performance. Monitoring my buffs and debuffs, situational awareness, movement/fielding, kiting, properly timing my bandages, timing and switching weapons to get the best damage rotation. -I fail to see these things as something that requires no skill.
@@panemon187 At least you react well to my comment. And you bring arguments to defend your style of play, good point. I initially played a dexxer, I wasn't comfortable with the mage. I killed a lot of guys, mostly mages (certainly not good ones). I didn't find it difficult to play a dexxer. Before each fight I'd activate a trap pouch and a bandage, then attack with a sword (halberd or other) then bow to finish if necessary. Then I turned definitively to the different versions of mage, more my play style. To be totally fair I think it's a matter of taste. I was a bit harsh in my 1st message. Continue, you seem like a good player!
@@JacksonWe1127 There is a lot of frustration that comes with playing a dexer, which makes them not-so-easy in many circumstances, based on my own personal experience with them. My frustrations are also shared by many other players who like to PvP as a dexer. I get a lot of discord messages from dexers, expressing their frustration with dexers on this server; asking for my advice. I do not create the rules here. On Outlands, I am merely doing my best to work with what I have as a dexer. In my videos I do try to highlight some of these frustrations so people can see why it's not always so easy to play a dexer. I am always genuinely interested in the ideas and opinions of others; in the persuit of learning to better myself. Unlike the original poster of this thread, your response tells me that you're here just to argue for the sake of arguing. I don't consider it constructive criticism. If you're not going to take the time to make a refutation on why you think this is zero skill - then why should I, or anyone else care about; or respect your opinion? I could break this down even further, but is it worth my time?

@@panemon187no it’s zero skill - if your having fun that’s what matters but it’s zero skill.
