Playing Duels has become pretty much meaningless. From what I see, mages and druids can kill with one shot with Blast Wave or Feline Ferocity no matter what kind of a warrior build I go for. A build based on stamina may stand a chance but it is very specialised. Now, with an absorption-based/axe and shield build, I don't even get a swing of my sword or axe and I am dead. My former dual-wielding build was even less competitive. As such, I have stopped duelling mages and druids, leaving only the occasional skirmish with them. I have also stopped fighting except against NPCs and lower level warriors.
Meanwhile, Colin, Wilson, and Cedric have stopped playing. I suspect Willie and Anthony ceased playing too. Currently, only Alex (Thugg) plays. I won't be promoting this game amongst all my gaming friends. It's not worth it.
This is one of the most short-lived gaming experiences I have had. I think the developers, meaning Oxygen Games, should fix the imbalances. However, I don't see any action. Some have mooted openly that the game is broken in the forums. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the one-shot kills which I thought were ruining the game.
Addendum
I won't be discussing different warrior builds on my blog. Dual-wield, shield-bearer, fist-weapon, etc. It's moot. Pointless. My energy will be better served in other games.
I also did buy two noblestones early to "re-spec" my character. As mentioned earlier, it's a waste of money.

I have indeed stopped playing Duels. Moved on to Facebook, am level 16 in Battle Stations.
Were you not playing a mage?
Mages were casting Blast Wave and Druids Feline Ferocity, causing one shot kills. Could you not play such a mage?
Level 16 in Battle Stations!
What of Warbook? How are you faring there? For Warbook, I have been building a very defensive empire. I have only launched two attacks so far in the game. Once on you and once on another friend.
