Once again, yes, leaving a room will nullify most affliction strategies for most classes. I get that.
Extrum managed to kill several people and I was apostate for a super short time. I'll name drop Jhui if it makes you feel better. (Sorry @jhui) and that was before demon stain came around.
I think this disagreement comes from the sacrifice offense for defense stalemate argument though.
Also... I don't get the shield argument.... just keep deadeyes going..... ?
Oh look I have asthma I'm jusrt going to leave the room
Oh look they're stacking mentals I'm just going to leave the room/touch shield.
Fitness spam. Curseward spam. Can't even use Nightmare against Devotionists/Elementalists, and even if you do it's just guesswork assuming when slickness hits, and at that point you still have to stick asthma (And impatience+weariness if they can fitness).
Basically boned without trample and shatter
I can spell it out, if you'd like, but I really don't think it's necessary?

I was mentioning some of the things that render locking/catharsis impossible - reliance on riding/weaponry once again. Apostate's just aren't that great in 1v1. I'd be happy for either of you to go Apostate and prove me wrong, though I won't say anything else on the subject because you don't seem to get the point.

Whoaaaa now I've come a long way in 2 years, I will not have you shaming my previous self!
Anyone with fitness was ridiculous. Anyone with transfix was ridiculous. Monk was ridiculous. Sentinel was ridiculous.
Occultists and serpents were easy to kill though.
Apostate is nice in 2 v 2s though. 1 v 1 was just like almost entirely luck based, and if you couldn't kill your opponent in 5 minuets you were out of wp and dead anyway. When SVO patched up it's apostate curing in recent patches it's just impossible to kill people as apo now.

Technically, it's more like you saying "Sentinel is good because I killed Dakeyras." *log of stun axe*
It's not really apostate that's bad as much as it is momentum afflicting. Serpent/apostate both got worse when people started playing more defensively.

You raise your battleaxe over your head and begin to swing it in a wide circle, gaining speed as you
go.

Screaming out a warcry of pure strength, you bring your battleaxe crashing straight down on Kaie's
head. With a power that seems to come from on high, you cleave asunder his entire body, from head to
groin, splitting him in two and killing him instantly.
You have slain Kaie.

Yeah, I'm so glad I find myself agreeing with @Dartega, this is great.
