I Keep Tryin'

[the_hermit]

But I keep dyin'!

I've started and given up, started and given up, and started and given up. I reckon my biggest problem was the /level command, so I decided to start *again* and see what happens - this time from Level 1 upwards.

Of course - I still have little clue how PvP works - my only experience has been log in, create a character, /level, start to train, choose level 5+ class, go to trainer, start to train.

Die.

Release, try again. Die.

In fact, I don't think I ever made it out of Goth Harbour! Very messy...

So - what to play? I'd rather play an Alb class in Alb lands as I know them fairly well... So is it best to start a level 1 and work up, Kill Tasking, Questing and doing the general do, or /level and run out of cash (ie, none) for Con?

I'm thinking of a Mincer this time around - speed (flee fatass!) and pet, Mez, Power Song, as well as able to smack things a bit. Any other plans (don't say Necro - I am sick to death of them!)

Heeeelp!

 

[Bahumat]

what yyou need to do is a transfer and buy some good armour.

 

[enkor]

play a minstrel from level 1 should work pretty well. they are decent levelers, especially with a pet, and 1-20 will be fast since you can do killtasks with speed.

If you are new to the server i'd advise staying far away from the main pvp zones, try to go to SI (i like hib the most <3) to level in peace.

 

[Bahumat]

yeah also do your low lvl epics they take 5 seconds to do and you get a nice item

Didn't realise it took more than 90 seconds to walk out of Goth Harbour

Simply answer is dont stand around Goth

imo do /level xp a couple of levels and then pk till lvl 36 provided you got some cash etc .

 

[Vukod]

Try that.

Make char lvl1, /level till 5, then saffety off, hit first thing with pet arround you ( if noobs lvl 20 dont rape you before ).

If you still lvl 5 you lose nothing. Then make /release city. tachan pop camelot, finish ur /level to 20, train in peace then go get /lvl 20 stuff. Bind and go cotswold to the 3rd World War.


Just an idea, btw make a class who roxx and can kill lvl 20s easy, so you get cash fast instead of lose it, bla bla bla ^^

 

[the_hermit]

Thanks for the input guys So, aside from Necro and Mincer, what other Alb classes are decent in PvP?

Thanks again - here's hoping I last longer than before (and before that and before that)...

 

[Bahumat]

necro
skald
mincer
bd (wont get any friends but they pwn)
reaver
savage

 

[Tsabo]

/level
get to lvl 5
/safety off
then let someone kill u
/rel city
u loose no con, can finish the rest of ur /level in a safe town and get ur /level armour
then go do ur epics, then go to some of the level places like vendo/spraggon den etc etc and level to lvl 22/23 while gettin some cash and drops, then u start to PK

Alb classes?

Mincer
Sorc
Theurg
Cabbie to a certain extent
Infil probably

Other realms:

Chanter
Runey
SM
Skald
BD


Basically any class with speed and/or some CC ability if you're going to mainly solo pvp, solo pve nothing will beat a necro.

?

I think you'll find I post useful stuff rather than random crap about David Hasselhoff etc

 

[Bahumat]

doh sorry my bad, but yeah you dont have to be an alb class you can just go hunt in alb still

 

[Darksword]

also casters r cheap and own

imo the 4 best casters on pvp r

Cabalist, chain stun pet, stackable dots and a bit of lifetap, and they look cool and a few debuffs

Sorc, aoe mezz, lifetap, nuke, charm, poX (power regen), and a bit of debuffs

Dark SMer strong nuke strong lifetap strong pet (stuns, but less often as cabalists pet) intercepting pet, pbaoe mezz, aoe mezz.

enchanter, with baseline stun, casting pet (or healing pet) nukes, and pbaoe is a good class, also try light spec has better nuke and i personally found in pvping i did more range casting than pbaoe (though in the right situation pbaoe is amazing)

 

[Bahumat]

i heard the cabalist chain stun got fixed

 

[Tsabo]

i heard the cabalist chain stun got fixed

it hasnt, not yet atleast.

think that may be gettin sorted next patch.

 

[Darksword]

they fixed it so that there was a immunity timer after being stunned

then labs in the USA i think complained and the patch after the immunity timer was removed

 

[Kicks]

Dark SMer strong nuke strong lifetap strong pet (stuns, but less often as cabalists pet) intercepting pet, pbaoe mezz, aoe mezz.

SM = teh r0x

What other (non-bd) caster can take down 3 buffed tanks in melee

I love my SM :wub:

 

[Darksword]

i need 2 pick between sorc caba or dark SMer for a duo with skald HELP lvling from 1-xx

 

[Tsabo]

tbh none of those classes really suit a duo with a skald.

Shammy + skald duo wud be the best me thinks.

End regen + stlong kiting abilites.

Got some comments to say:

1. To get some porting money, /level to 2, get a task, kill your target, /level to 20, claim your reward. Does't mix with 2. though.

2. To escape from the /level killers do the following: /level to 5, turn safety off, suidide on a purp, /release city, train your class and /level to 20.

3. Good solo classes: assasins, archers, bard classes (Bards excluded ), most casters (and meelee hybrids)*

4. Cabalist's amber pets are getting nerfed in 1.71.

5. I hate DH.


* I personally disagree.

Don't forget Theurgs, if you spec Wind/Ice you will have 3 forms of CC (single/AE root(in ice), AE mezz (in Wind), chainstunning pets (in Wind)), as well as speed.

:wub:

 

[Elekrep]

btw, any skald's here who got low level stuff (talkin about lvl 10-15) to sell?
If so contact my skald Kosto..

Yep, still chainstunning in US

 

[Lothandar]

And to reply to the topic starter: You need to be more lively to play on the pvp server.



Camping as /level 20 in free armor, in a main town just won't work.


Also tick grouping off your "toxp" list, start a class which can solo easily to 50 and is capable of farming money. My choice would be obviously the necromancer. I already dinged 40, and got a plat, got killed 6 times total , but I killed some people too.
