    Hieros should be disabled in all PVP in my opinion, pharmacy is there for a reason. Hieros just totaly make the craft useless.

    And to be on topic, arena needs events like king of the hill or GVG etc

    And do you really think it's possible in PW?

    I think it could be possible. I don't know much about the arena, but you could have two teams start on each side, have their flags there, and if someone gets PKd, they would get respawned back at their flag.

    :D It just sounds like fun.

    Oh yeah, and to get a flag from someone (who picked it up in their inventory and now... maybe has a flag above their head) you'd PK them and they'd drop the flag. You pick it up and go.

    It wouldn't work. The only people playing would be werebeasts (hp to survive longer with the flag) and priests (heal friendly carriers, snare/sleep enemies).

    LOL comon man PW pvp isnt that clear cut. a MG can take down a WB easily and you forget stun skills. CTF would be a proper fun orgy if a lot of ppl take part.

    Also once chars reach the 80's a lot of them gain skills that disable stuns/sleeps from ep's and the like and things get really crazy.

    But that was my point, it's not PvP, the only one you have to kill is the enemy carrier (if he even gets your flag). It's much more efficient to immobilise everyone else and run instead of picking them off. Anything except a WB would suck at being the carrier, while priests have an 8s snare, an 18s or so paralyse, a 12m radius AoE 3s paralyse, their ultimate also comes with a snare proc, a 30s sleep, and heals to top it off. Not to mention, they can dispell snares off their own carriers. Wars can chain stun but they're stuck there doing it, while priests can throw snares/sleep and run. Mages may have hax dps but they have few incapacitating spells. Archers would work, with range stuns and foxes could **** people off with their pets. But it'd still be better to take a priest/wb over anything else.

    WR with 30 sec sprint skill that blocks stun/sleep/snare/etc grab flag and runs 700 miles ahead of everyone else, and then?

    Then wars and priests (and foxes if their purge clears sprint too). Either way, something that involves running won't be balanced.

    Or they could just make it so that you run slower with the flag. Or make the flag a catapult that follows you at a set speed.
