PvP as a GF feels like sleeping in prison with your pants off...

I currently have FULL glory PvP gear and blues and greens (lvl 60) in the rest of the spots. I have tried every spec out their including the conqueror build and the hybrid tank. Rogues burn through my guard meter in 2-3 seconds, Wizards have talents that bypass 15% of my mitigation...every class is (except GF) is designed to kill things and has the skills to back it up. My job is to live and yet I die just as fast as every other class but have one tenth of their damage. I would love to see the internal testing team play the GF and show me how the hell you live in a 1 v 1 against ANY other class. Every PvP video with the GF shows them getting beat down until help arrives. I can't be the only one who is experiencing this nonsense.

Shows a Conqueror Guardian 1v1ing a Rogue for at least 90% of the rogues health, then following it up with a CW 1v1.
In random grp fight you may be right because for random the rogue class is the best but if you going to pvp with a premade grp you will see that gf will get their place in game. For sure the pvp is not really balanced and prolly will never be but i think that we need to speak about non random grp pvp where most of the time you can have 1 or 2 ppl crashed or afk or other ppl running around just to get the 300 contribution points of the flag and not playing togheter as a team
Right now i'm playing in PUG too but just because i'm still levelling and i think when more ppl will reach lvl 60 there will be more ppl looking for made premade group for arena pvp . I'm already waiting some friends that are exping in lower bracket than mine and i think i'm not the only one waiting for better pvp match even if this game is mostly focused in the pve
Really? Ok then let's talk about GF threat or lack there of...
Well 60 is going to have the highest tier of gear and more people getting it since they are capped as opposed to those moving through the lower brackets fairly quickly as they level. Having said that though, player skill and ability to play the class will also make the experience for each GF different.
It is, in the 50-59 bracket I could easily 1v2-3 a point by knocking people off and using temp HP to keep myself up.
Its not uncommon for a rogue to deal 22kish damage in 4 seconds at 60.
I had done enough pvp so that I was able to buy all the pvp gear immediately.
I have 7700 gear score.
I die in 2 seconds. Literally as soon as a rogue gets behind my shield, they destroy me instantly.
I am not sure how this is balanced or what.
Your fighting people who have been farming dungeons for the best drops in the game. the pvp set basically sucks for pvp, as it has no power, and is all defense. its actually a tanking set thats better suited to pve content if you want to tank mobs, which from waht i can see is itself pointless as a GF cause your job is to play rat chaser while the rogues DPS down the bosses.
Now I don't run the typical pve dps build that's mentioned all over the place focusing down the conqueror tree. I have built my class toward a straight cc build. 21 points in tactician and 10 in conqueror for the temp HP damage increase. I use trample the fallen and ferocious reaction...I could probably go combat superiority but the ferocious reaction will scare the **** out of a rogue if they aren't paying close attention. At wills are Crushing Surge and Tide of Iron, Encounters Lunging Strike, Front Line Surge, and Anvil of doom.
I run supremacy of steel and the 2 hit kb/kd, you can use these whenever the mood suits you. My premade that I roll with gets a kick out of hearing me in vent destroying ppl 1v1 and 1v2. While they are fighting the rest of the group somewhere else. GFs are extremely powerful in pvp if played correctly. I'll give you my full build if you guys need it but by what I have said above you should be able to figure it out.
