Negation is overpowered. But probably most players that have Transcendent negation are well geared all around. Killing or competing with these players with gear well below that level is impossible.
We need naked pvp mode,
true class vs class
spec vs spec
skill vs skill
What does Wheel of Elements: Fire do?
And what if you don't have Wheel of Elements?
It's bugged...
If you don't have one, like many of us, better find another opponent or skip PVP for now. All the negation enchant BIS people have DR above 100%, so good luck on killing them, especially with a class, that has no means to conquer it.

The human race is a herd. Here we are, unique, eternal aspects of consciousness with an infinity of potential, and we have allowed ourselves to become an unthinking, unquestioning blob of conformity and uniformity. A herd. Once we concede to the herd mentality, we can be controlled and directed by a tiny few. And we are.

I'm just a casual player... but It seems mostly balanced to me

Killing one of them, frankly, ain't a problem.
What really makes it tough, is that when you have ONE BiS dude in the enemy team, you can bet your morning wood that he's got AT THE LEAST 2~3 stooges geared same BiS level, babysitting each other as a premade group -- that's what makes it difficult to kill them.
No offense to premade-running guilds, but I actually find many premade players not as "terrifying" as some of their more "famous Big-Name" colleagues in the forums. Those big-names are yes, extremely skilled, and when you fight them it feels like, "holy shi... how does that guy do that??!". But not all of his guildies are on the same level, and while most of them are very well geared, many of them are so used to having babysitters around that when they don't have all that perfect-support from others, they go down just as well as any PuG.

Are you a rogue? Cause i think piercing damage is the only thing that could make Negation look "balanced" right now. It's a LOOOONG shot ahead of any other enchant.
Same goes for Lostamauth set and Wheel artifact.
Players with the above, even if non-BiS, have a HUGE advantage. Difference is pretty big.
TR with lostamauth set deals a lot more damage than a normal TR.
Going with, say, soulforged, vs a Negation user, is a quite big difference too compared to non-negation users.
Cryptic didn't balance the enchants before the event so we have to live with it.
Unrelated Question: i've seen the PvP event listed for 9 july too. What does this mean?
its impossible make a domination with negation transcenden.
0 Demage.
Only rich players will have good pvp, i make any demage 0, total 0
this game need make a new domination
Players with Negation
And players without
Its 90% of advantage with negation.
1 player with negation only on team can make the team win
i go made another video, cw same power, critical, vorpal then me.
but he with a transcendent negation, i remove 0 of hp, dont make any demage, when made regen.
he can kill me and the hp still full o.O

only stuff that bypases T negation is piercing damage like TR has, or procs from boons and glyphs, wheel of elements and lol set, or mark from GF/GWF that bypasses arp+negation enchant, GF can triple mark i read
arp can´t mitigate negation enchant (how silly), so its worthless buffing arp even they nerfed arp resistance in PVP to 60%, now you "only" need 70% Resistance ignored against squishy classes with T negation to debuff 10% DR, leaving 70% DR you can´t mitigate in case you have no piercing or broken enchant/Set or are a GF/GWF
so PVP is all about having or not having the enchant, beside beeing a TR who can bypass everything, lol

...in a 1v1.
In a multi-v-multi engagement, general tactics become more important as the side with more powerful CCs and better focus-fire can clear out opponents one by one.
Of course, I admit this is in theory, because in reality usually the side that has negation enchants are also noticeably better geared than the side that doesn't have it, as well as the difference in the level of preparation also suggests difference in skill level. So in reality, the side that is negation-ready is usually both superior in gear and skill. Only in the rarest instances have I met people without negation that is still roughly on par with the such opponents in terms of "L2P level".

Yep, have made the same experience too.
That's why many don't come into a 1v1 into a "naked fight" as we used to do "long ago". Picture can look pretty different.

Yes with current Mod PVP became so broken and such a pain, if you can not afford a higher rank negation enchant. I sometimes get the feeling it's like trying to cross an ocean bare footed. I remember the prefect barkshield, many complained against it, now we got something worse and barkshield was by miles better, not so OP.
What sometimes makes me angry, that some kinda play with the enemies nerves, they barely move or do anything, they let the negation enchant do the trick for them.
Skill needs to come back a bit, at least a bit...

Yeah… no. Because we have no inter-class-balance. Its a team based game, gg pvp and domination are not 1vs1.
Requesting 1vs1 just shows a fundamental lack of how this game works.
Having a 1vs1 character might not be the best option in a team based game.

Sorry wasn't precise enough, maybe a GF vs GF, with nearly similar builds, that's what i meant. Of course not a poor SW against a Sabo TR.

Most people that request 1 vs 1's are people that are already vastly over geared compared to the enemy team. And usually happens when they sit at campfire not bothering to feed a harshly imbalanced fight. If it was already clear of the vast difference in gear, I question what makes these people thing someone would take thier 1 vs 1 offer?
