Speaking of your RK, do you mention the awesome 1v1 you had in the Barrow Downs Survival Skirmish the other day? I am still giggling about that one.
How dare you mention that! But yes, I crit EC for 5.5k (more than my health) on a mob with 100% reflect. That's right, I 1v1'd myself and lost (or won).

*solemnly awards you a medal*
It's okay, I was fighting a Priestess of Vengeance and didn't realize the reflect was up and killed myself with two crits yesterday too. Not quite as epic as you one shotting yourself, however

Mawz, Fardochee and Postoffice are almost the only reaver to fight me 1v1. Necksnapper fight sometimes, sometimes use his charge to get away but this 4 reavers are my biggest challenge walking on 2 feet....
Grupchuk, Aglarat, Barkh, Tailmange, my tribemates of Fanged Brood, and i probably forgot some wargs name here are some of the good 1v1 i had with this class...
Only 3 spiders name come to my mind for good 1v1, Buppkiss, Webwise and Tipere. Sadly for Tipere...
Dunno if you realize this, but one player owns a toon in each of your class lists of good 1v1s. He plays all of his toons fearlessly and is quite good at them all =)
Had 2 of the Best Guardian versus Warleader fights yesterday night (my time)!
Revex (The Guardian) was running around in Sword and Board looking for solos, using Threat Stance, and Wearing Gear that had been dyed Ered Luin Blue. He wins in my book just for that!
Anyway, I lost the first fight but caught him later when we both had all our cooldowns up and I won. This was without a doubt the most evenly matched 1v1 match up I have ever had the pleasure of fighting. And to top it all off this is what my War tab looked like after our second match:
I definitely look forward to running into Rev again!
Had 2 1:1s with Arctic today. The first actually ended not at all being a 1:1 because like 3 BAs and a warg turned up.
/release
/ride out of rez
Then we fought again almost immediately after. Yikes, I don't usually crit on creeps all that much and almost never consecutively. Sorry Arctic, lol! Then I froze when you were almost dead, but I could still auto-attack (something is wrong with my connection atm)...but I think maybe my auto attack killed you
Thank you for coming back to find me and giving me a fair shot!
/bow
Also Irontusk and I fought while I was on the phone (I heard a growl and checked my screen to see I was being mauled to death), but he disappeared as another freep rode into view. I don't think Wil would have interrupted us! He stays Blue I think because it makes people underestimate him. Let me say this clearly - do not underestimate him, lol.

Nice 1v1 with Arctic. When I got tracked I dismounted and got ready (healing-rock, food, etc.) so I had the advantage of being battle-readied, but still it was a close fight.
Edit: Also good 1v1 with Rutroh, /salute!

Had quite possibly my best performance ever vs a burg today, unfortunately for Jetsu. And in appreciation for Fardochee not jumping in on his guard, I then fought him 1v1 and lost miserably.
I have also been going to the 'Moors a couple times in the recent weeks and always had a good time.
Elastoplast, I really enjoyed our couple duels, especially the one when you stopped attacking me and let me finish the warg who started ganking me in the middle of it, before finishing our business (!!!).
Arctic, I love to know that you will most likely always be between GV and TA, hidden somewhere
Necksnapper, I am a big fan of your fearless charges in packs of freeps!
My word to you all creeps: Respect. I appreciate the fights I've had so far, I just wish there was more "even" fights out there AND less wargs to stealth out of battle when they are about to lose. Other than that, hat tip to all you servants of Angmar
I'm sure your reavers are good in raids but this is a 1v1 thread and so far the reavers worth mentioning is far and mawz, white hand reavers 1v1 not impressive from my point of view thus far.

Lee and I are having major modem connection issues in our house, sooooo anyone we have tried to 1:1 and were obviously frozen for, thank you for not killing us...or /rage for killing us
I hope it's all fixed up when I am back from Florida!

Dineanddash and Superstardestroyer are really good too.
Thanks! I remember many fun 1v1s with your champ (was still in TWH then) -- no need for a disclaimer.

Star and I do not play very much right now (haven't for a few weeks), but before our playtimes diminished, we duo/trio'd far more than we raided! I have no idea who you are, but thanks for knowing the full TWH reaver roster!
(BTW, 1v1s existed long before this thread did. )
------------------------
Fun fact: Skill isn't based on your tribe/kin association! Some of my most memorable/enjoyable 1v1s were against Uht and Bedlem who are in *gasp* Gank Squad (the kin that garners about as much love as TWH)!
Side note: Semi-enjoyable 2v3 between Me/Barkh and Earmir/Darora/Incanous tonight while I was on for 10 minutes.
Cheers again to Gaelbo for the never-ending 1v1 west of Lugz last night. 42 straight minutes of uninterrupted not being able to kill eachother. I swear he full healed at least 7 times, and changed in and out of WS so many times I lost count... finally ended by that little blue dot that wandered by (who incidentally got the KB ).
Also, if anyone would like to help me grind money for power pots tonight, that would helpful .
Dineanddash and Superstardestroyer are really good too. And again really good for white hands.
Your disclaimer is as pointless and unecessary as saying you are good at 1v1s for people with names starting with F. In a group as large as The White Hand, there's obviously going to be a wide range of skill level and a wide range of playstyles. So if you want to compliment him, do so and leave it at that. If you don't? Then don't.

And Shima used to beat most Creeps (and Champs) on this server. So he's a rather good gauge of talent.

And as much as I hate to compliment Uht, he is a good 1v1'er.
And you can't even make the comment that he's a FotM guardian, because he's been nearly exclusively playing a guardian ever since I've played this game.
Unlike other recent guardians.
And, one day, when captains finally get a real slow, you all best watch out! Muahaha!

On another note. It is disconcerting to learn that Postoffice is also Buppkiss (if I read that right). As an enemy, I "like" Postoffice and I very much "dislike" Buppkiss (though I've had some fun fights and losses against both). Might be that I like reavers and don't like spider... I have no idea.
This is why it is better not to think of creeps as people, and to just hate them all for being creeps.

It's funny, but even though I can see creeps' tribe tags when I'm out there, I have very little idea who's in The White Hand. However, I know pretty accurately which freeps are in Gank Squad even though I can't see their kin tags.
Also, more on topic, I had a nice 1v1 with Leekae yesterday. He nearly killed me even without using dire need.

*points up* We can't stay connected for more than a few seconds from our house atm, so it's a huge risk to even come out to the Moors. We'll freeze up for sometimes 20 seconds or longer at times. Sometimes we can autoattack as it just hangs by a thread, but basically we just have to sit there while we're killed, lol.
They're here trying to fix it now, but it looks like it will be a couple more days Comcast FTL.

It's your friendly neighborhood Celestrata here. I've been looking through the thread, and I've noticed that we've been trending away from talking about Good 1v1s in this thread. Instead, we seem to be getting into insulting other tribes and the skill of other users. We're arguing about bad fights instead of celebrating the good ones and congratulating one another for providing a challenge.
Sure, yes, it is an open PvP zone and 1v1s can be broken up by other players. But this is not the "Good 1v1s broken up by other players that makes me angry" thread. This is the Good 1v1 thread.
When posting here, keep to the spirit (and topic) of the thread. If you derail it, you will be infracted.

Shuvn... or however you spell it (Sorry!), was a great 1v1. I didn't expect a warg to pop out of no where while I rezzed the guy.
Coli- Words cannot describe how hard I laughed at the end of our 1v1. That was the most hilarious thing I have witnessed in the Moors to date. Can't wait to have another
If he was having connection problems I couldn't tell. But, I do agree that Comcast is FTL
It was a good fight! I was actually on my way to Gv to get stun pots when you pounced me.
I also had a couple fights going with Mawz, one on Lee then one on Thengol both were hampered by our current D/c net issue. Maybe next time Mawz! ./shakes fist!
Last night I had a good 1v1 with Akleburz (sp?) south of Lugz rez.
For me there is no such thing as a good 1 vs 1. Not that I do not like watching them, I just cannot keep up with freeps running in circles around me zapping and stunning. I am, without a doubt the worst at on on one encounters. Ah well, I still get fed at least.
I have had the pleasure of watching many excellent fights between others, and will always stop to watch a 1 vs 1 between certain players.
Yea Leekae, Comcast sucks big time. I had them for a brief time, but now stick to AT&T. And yet with all my server speed, and uber computer. I still lag in the moors when raids collide.

all things aside that have been discussed time and again, the weakest part of the moors in regards to this topic of 1 v1 is the fact that people can run right through each other. For those of you who have played other PVP games where other players are solid objects rather than ethereal entities, you understand the difference already, but basically it really takes away from potential tactics in movement, and adds tactics that I just plain suck at (like running through the enemy and hitting them, turning 180, repeating)
Since over the last couple of weeks, 1v1s have begun to resurface and be generally respected by onlookers, I have been working really hard at learning "duel movement" for our flavor of PVP since 1v1 is really fun.... I still suck, because im a clicker, but i will keep practicing. I would love some pointers.
Anyhow, fully on topic, today I was out trying to avoid the 12 or so man freep raid while solo on my reaver. I found plenty of small skirmish action around lugz lawn/lugz rez. In particular, I had 2 fights with a champ that got my heart rate going.
~S~ Warrmir. I charged him heading up toward lugz rez from RoP side. He turned and fought me, only 30 yards from the 1-shotters and gave me a heck of a fight. He stayed until the death without dragging me into the guards, which he could have done so easily (and I would have followed).
This wasnt enough though. He had to try me again (and again without controlled burn) on lugz lawn.
Thank you for the fun Warrimir. Another dueling champ on Landy gets my utmost respect. I hope I have the fortitude to stick with my champ (once i get him leveled) that you showed me today.
I had another fun engagement on lugz lawn as well. As far as i know it was me, a spider, and a warg, vs Wilandria, Warrimir, and a warden. I fought half the fight at 200 morale, and I have no idea how I survived, but I really thought the freeps were going to win until a perfectly timed pounce turned the tables. Very fun you guys.
I am really loving how, seemingly since this thread started, those that are interested in small fights seem to stay as far as possible from the big raids and have their own little fun. It always seems to be the same usual suspects as well, making it easier and easier to judge whether or not I should stay on the sidelines and watch, or jump in to help.
I know certain freeps are not going to call in the cavalry on me even if I win a duel, and freeps (i hope) are beginning to learn which creeps will not be on the horn for close air support the moment they die. This means the ability to stay in the area long enough to toss a salute, which really helps repair some of the old school respect between sides.
YAY for 1v1s =).

I was running aimlessly around the Ettenmoors with fellow Warleader Hurik (I'm not exaggerating, ever tried to ninja a relic with two Warleaders only to realize that the Relic isn't there and you have that +Infamy buff? Yeah . . .) when we found a Ranger and two freepies over the freshly toppled bodie of Pouncival. Being totally zoned out we proceeded to attack with reckless abandon, especially considering that the freepies were under leveled. I rezzed Pouncy to help us since it would then be a 3 on 3 but he responded by getting killed almost immediatly.
Despite this we still managed to kill the freeps, rezz Pounce again, and drive the Ranger off. All in all a pretty good win considering it only cost us 2 bubbles and 2 rezzes.
The first night I threw my RK on the moors, I caught Nuul alone at Poor TA. He and I had a helluva 1vs1... it's very difficult to burn through a well-ranked Defiler's HoT's, even as a Rune Keeper, so the fight lasted a good amount of time, for a LotRO duel at least.
In the end I pulled off the win, but really if I hadn't been so lucky with the dice rolls it likely wouldn't have gone so well for me. Nuul knows what he's doing, and he put up a good fight.
I must say though, the fight would have been much less fun if I hadn't goofed up and forgotten to trait my Epic Conclusion. I hate that skill, and I'm an RK! Makes the game too easy.
