I saw no difference when I was one on one or against a lot of people. I actually saw myself get tooled a lot quicker than normal when more people seemed to jump onto the pile. Obvious yes, but with the advent of the anti-gang code you would think your chances would be better.

Savage Feeding was at 100% but it still missed on mobs when I was ranking...with no Horde. So I believe it's just one of those things with orcs. Because the skills are pretty devestating, theres most likely a little bit better saving throw for the recipient that he could possibly get out of the way.

As far as anti-ganging code goes..I guess with the one big gank I have logged up there I probably dodged a lot of blows I normally wouldnt have but I think that was one of the few times I noticed it.

Also with the Horde it seemed to redirect the opponents away from me a lot which I didnt anticipate so when I was spamming away to fight sometimes I wasnt even in the fight..only to be engaged by one of the foes I DIDNT want to engage at the moment...usually leading to my death. Like with the big gang at the top, I would have loved to remained on Lorem and taken him out..after being rescued I was on Tahlshor. I had a human banner in my posession and if I could have kept my cool in that giant fight I might have worn the banner and gone after one of the human shifters but...alas...the chaos of battle is quite a rush.

I will say it like this. Orcs are severely handicapped as melee fighters. You have to just absolutely go in balls out and hope you get the jump on them. Two pieces of advice when PK'ing with an orc. Go hard when your hurting them....and run hard when they are hurting you. And i Mean...AS SOON AS THEY HURT YOU...just turn and run. You can get away and heal a lot faster then they can so Hit and Run and Hit again is the way to go.
