I have fought slammy a few times, the biggest issue I see here is that as we get more exp his build is going to have to narrow. Currently he is able to take all the best stuff from every role, but that is going to be a drain on his exp economy, diluting his effectiveness.

It doesn't take a whole lot of skill to use the best Tier 1 abilities from every role. It's actually the entire reason for the dedication bonuses - to balance against that exact tactic. Tier 2 is when we'll see how the different roles really interact with each other. At that point, people will be forced due to the greater exp costs to narrow down to abilities and features mainly from one role with a little mixed in from a secondary role, and the latter will most probably remain Tier 1 for awhile.
I've beaten Slammy and run him out of Hammerfall, and I'm sure others have beaten him as well. He tends to log on in the few hours before down time and prey on AFKers and crafters. The thing about PvP videos is that you can record thousands of hours of footage and just pick the ones that look the most favorable. Still, in our 1v1 fight he definitely put up a good fight and it did last quite awhile before he ran away with Energetic Field. I look forward to future engagements.
Just an FYI. The Mage staff is only used for a ranged attack/slow when the player is running. But mostly is used for the energetic field buff. Which in T2 is still going to be equally viable. My skills and armour feats are still always going to be setup for warrior.
Also Thorgrim, let the tears rain down. : D

Actually, the Energetic Field is broken, it doesn't do what it is suppose to do, it gives a greater buff to attack than it should.
Also, unless you are planning to spend a lot of exp on the energetic field path, as you gain armor keywords Energetic Field will just reduce in effectiveness.
You have skill, but eventually you will have to narrow more.
Well I guess we'll see, that's why I have three accounts. So I can keep with the times man.

His skill is evident in what he has done with the choices he's made, how he uses his mobility, and how he decides to engage and withdraw. The actual abilities are almost irrelevant and can be replaced with others as needed. That's why I will keep watching :)

Many of the poor helpless "AFKers and crafters" chase him and go red by initiating PvP with Slammy.
No one pities the deaths of such murder hobos. :-)
still managed to wrek faces, give me that pot plate +2 and see what i can do ;)

I have this to say about Thorgrim, dude you are a tank. I pumped a couple dozen arrows into you the other day to little effect.
