This my only issue with new world. I absolutely love arena and duels in this game the combat for small scale pvp feels really good!! The stagger mechanics work because it’s not to many people! But when you get into wars as melee with stagger and cc in this game unless you have insane about or pocket healing going on or spec like this… all con… your just staggered and dead.. tanking in pve also has this issue trying to pull 5 or more enemies their light attack spam stagger locks you unless your all grit skills. They need to rework the stagger mechanics and make it be a build up x amount of damage staggers you or something of that sort! And not everything.
@ oh I know I’ve played since launch of the game you have builds for pushing holding points teams for rotating teams for holding points etc. still doesn’t change how the stagger mechanic makes fighting with more people feel terrible. When you got 6+ people on a point with hammers or spears and all they do is soak damage and CC it’s just not enjoyable. Their is no out play it’s just out survive. Arena 3v3 actually feels good and meaningful. Their isn’t just stagger locking big groups etc. I love and enjoy new world I just don’t like the stagger mechanic in the game a lot of people don’t. It is what holds it back from a bigger audience among few other things.

@emjaythegreat22 the builds needed for war will be totally different than your OPR or Open World builds. It's all about working together as a unit.
