Im a pure pvp'r and it sucks that this super neat server with all the crazy builds has always forced you into caster builds for PvP. Smite, frostbolt, w/e its always been ranged caster and only the absolute best geared very specific melee builds can even remotely compete with the unoptimized average gear casters.
So has Season 8 made this divide worse or better or no real change?
