Well... Little intoduction first

I'm looking for other MMORPG as WoW which I'm playing now isn't what I really want.

So I thought about DAoC. Ofcourse, I'll try it before I'll decide to change it from WoW or not, but have some question first. I've made my first choice though - realm of Hibernia.

1. Is game balanced in the field of PvP, both solo and mass?
2. My concept for a character is very offensive warrior, who is good in both PvE and PvP. An elf would be best, but it's not a must. Either it will be dual wield or some two hand weapon doesn't really matter (no shield except part tanking etc!).
3. If my idea for character won't work on Hibernia's races and classes which other realm would be best suited for it? Style of play is more important for me than realm after all.

Thanks in advance for response...and if You have any advices give them please.

An elf Blademaster specced for pierce and TOAed out with a spear artifact for mainhand and fully buffed is pretty insane damage both solo and in Realm v Realm. Balance is subjective, you can solo best on a pet caster class with speed or a stealther. Depends on the server, population, and when you play during the RvR times. Peak is generally 8-10 PM EST in the states.
