Old Returning Player - Need some advice!Follow

o/

Just reactivated the other day. I have a Champ, Warden, Blademaster, and Ranger at cap, originally from hib/galahad. All my chars had decent templates for their day, but i seem to be having issues in 1v1s and im unsure if its a matter of spec or gear. I could only land maybe 1 in 10 styles with my BM which i dont recall ever being an issue. chars are stat capped, resist capped, most have artifact weapons + shields, winged helm, shades of mist, maddening scalars and the like. I played the bm (battler/malice) and ranger for a short while after the minotaur expansion came out, and my ranger is cl8 or so. Most of my chars arent much past ML3, seeing as we never really had cohesive raids when the content was new.

Im somewhat unsure where to focus. I can pve and solo quickly and efficiently for making money and such, but havent really found any groups for raids or pvp. I dont have access to a druid buffbot either which im sure isnt helping me.

I live in hawaii, so my timezone may be some of the issue, but population seems better now than it used to be.

Any guilds recruiting a player that has a decent understanding of mechanics and how to play, but isnt really up to date on the state of the game or current gear?
