Alright, I've been playing a dark templar (up to 33 so far) and absolutely love it's survivability. I can run into a group of 4-5 mobs and come out without any problems. Every now and then an assassin or a barb will pop out of stealth and beat on me for a minute or two before running away.

The problem is I just can't see any possible way for me to kill players in a 1v1 situation. My snare (dark burden or whatever) is really easy to avoid (cast time + short range = gay), and I don't have any OHFUCKWHATJUSTHITME?! type damage abilities. I sit there, take the beating, and watch my dmg / self-healing procs go off while I nickle and dime a bitch down.

So to those of you that've been playing guards and conqs, how have you been doing in 1v1 situations? I'm thinking that this DT would be great in group PVP situations, but I'm not grouped all the time and would prefer to play something that can hold it's own solo as well.

I'm a 40 Guardian so far, and I can say that the damage is decent enough compared to survivability.

Charge -- Stagger -- Flashing Arc -- Equip Shield/D-Stance means you blow up a lot of damage before they can even do anything, and after that you have the option to take hardly any.

I did have a 5 minute duel with another guardian before he said "lol" and walked away, but that's because we were both in D stance with shields on (since we would otherwise die in 5 seconds)
