Best class to play with 100+ ping

[Osiris]

So after many strat battles on opposite sides of the ocean and a recent eu invasion of na what do you guys think is the best class to play for high pings?

Surprisingly longspear works rather well, sometimes forgot that I was playing with high ping, just don't get into a 1 vs 1.

When I played in NA, I used mostly archery. I would say ranged is best, but I do not like crossbows so I stick to archery.
At least for me, manual blocking becomes much harder, for shields the reply time is too short (unless you start spamming left swing, which I beliee to be lame), and in general melee is faster than ranged. Also, avoid getting in duels, try to go for the group.

long dagger 3/39 asassin build

[Zlisch_The_Butcher]

Cav, longspearman, ranged, or shielder, basically anything that doesn't require that much blocking.

My current anti ping build is 18/18 shielder/crossbowman. You have ping? Shoot people from distance. You dont have high ping? Go charge like a boss

[Tears of Destiny]

Lancer-Cav (or anything else with a slow attack on horse so it allows greater room for error), Long Spear/Pike, Archer.

[Shemaforash]

I'd go with archer/xbow or lancer cav

[enigmatic_stranger]

Ranged or shielder.

[Gurnisson]

Shielder or long 2H/pole with 3 or 4 attacking directions

[Latvian]

most of strat 3 na battles i spent as xbowman  without any wpf ofcourse

I'm playing on NA with 180+ ping just fine and i'm a glaive bundle of sticks OO

How high are you talking? With 130ish ping, it's still possible (though tricky against some builds and weapons) to block consistently. Estimating range becomes more difficult too, but that can be mitigated by taking a long weapon. Just make sure to hop in the duel server an hour or so before the battle to give yourself time to adjust.

If it's quite a lot higher than that, then you'll want to look into cav, ranged, or support polearm (it's difficult to avoid teamwounding in melee with a high ping, however).

[BADPLAYER_old2]

From playing with 100-130 ping for over 2 years on NA servers I can say that lance cav/more str orientated 2h or pole is the best build for that type of ping.

This is my build at 30 and in my opinion the best mix of the two, also probably the best cav build with athletics since I rate PS over riding for cav.

Code: [Select]

24/15

8ps
5if
5ath
5rid

All wpf in polearms
I top scoreboards every strat battle where i'm cav and usually top 3 for melee with that build on 110 ping~

Cav, longspearman, ranged, or shielder, basically anything that doesn't require that much blocking.

cant say bout shielder,  but the other 3 are def a good choice
