PvP changes over the last 5 years

Just curious, what are some of the favorite changes to pvp over the last 5 years? Are naked tamers still able to cower behind a greater dragon and think it's pvp? Stealthers still an arse pain? The revenant still annoying? Dismounters still a nuissance?

You cant guard wack people using the ninja bug anymore, so theres no reason for you to come back, let alone post here.

And the moderators still lock troll threads. So don't do it, hmm?
if you two want to get into a mutual un appreciation conversation, do it in PM.
Merely curious about changes to PvP since I left several years ago ma'dam. Hopefully no one is offended by my curiosity.

items have changed, revamped dungeons making suits different to build, new crafting system, but yes stealth tamers can still do what they did but now we have better ways to defend against them with damage eaters and bonus defenses with refined armor

imho you would have to take a few weeks just to relearn the new system before understanding the basic changes

Is it still a pain to build a good pvp suit?

When I left I think it was: Daimyo Helm, inquis res, fire leggings, and gloves/chest/arms enhanced with barbed leather. One death costing several million in losses.

the new style loot from Shame, Wrong and Covetous makes one heck of a difference and 'cursed' items that prodo shards unravel as 'worthless' really come into their own on Siege, where the property has no real meaning.
as an example, here are the stats of a cursed bracelet I have on Europa:
mi4 mr3 luck -100 sdi 12 fcr 3 lmc 10 lrc 20

Focus Mage patch w/ the changes to poison & inscription (reflect) were nice. Haven't tried pure mage w/ max int & sdi yet, been on the receiving end of it...ouch.
