PvP profession

[edoa]

Is there any profession/skills that are like the nr.1 PvP skill/profesion? Like is range much better then melee in PvP?

 

[Belsameth]

what I understand the Bounty Hunter is the best PvP class, with Pistols scoring high on the favorite weapon list

 

[Tufnir]

Check out the new commando weapons...

4 elite class's use pistols : Pistolier, Bounty hunter, commando, smuggler.

2 elite class's use carbines :Carbiner, Bounty hunter.

1 elite class use's rifles : Rifleman

( commando does have a acid rifle, altho to my knowledge you cant use the rifle skills/bonus's with it as its counted as a heavy wep and not rifle )


So just from that you can see why theres a lot of pistol users, coupled with the fact that a pistol has the same range as a rifle ( but but bad negatives to hit at long range ofc ) and some nice moves makes pistols the 'safe' choice.

They are no meens better though, and with the loss of the ranged knockdown in pistolier line many will change.

Melle does a lot of damage.. if you can get close enough

Ive read about the rocket launcher being like the best weapon cause it can 1 shot like everyone, but apparentlly it got a quite close range or something, anyone used one btw?

 

[old.FIN]

i count rifleman as good pvp class, hits hard, does mind bleed, and vs pistol when u have 2k+ all stats that pee shooter is dead before u have even went down 50% oh HAM, smuglers eye shot is nasty though =)

Not used one, but in the latest patch they fixed its ideal range to 64m and pumped its damage by loads, AT-STs are also now vunerable to blast (which the Rocket Launcher does) so they should be dropping.

For PvP I'm going for master of medicine (Master Doc Master CM with level IV pistol in the marksman tree) this'll give me uber-buffs, monster heals and Mind poison muahahah (admittedly they half-nerfed CMs by making poisons need LoS) and a bit of pistol for health Dot and a shooty attack

 

[old.FIN]

when i was starting game, was planning same CM doc combo, but as CM's mind poison is little "useless" because materials r pain to get, it can be healed pretty fast, ticks r slow, and loads of resists against it.

not saying its worthless, but when u know tactic vs mindpoison by CM, then its useless.

doc buffs r most important thing in pvp, because i never go combat mode if im not buffed =)

and also as rifleman is nice to DB from 60m-65m , can incap enemy and also kill from distance, no need to go in middle of them and getting raped =)

Dont tell me its beginning PvP is beginning to get like in daoc = BB4th3w1n

Nope not atall, remember he has to master an entire profession to get them buffs and there are plently of ways the average guy can buff his stats, spices/food/drink etc.. or get a friendly docter to buff you, the majority do not walk around buffed to the tits but if your expecting to fight its wise to consider the options you have avialable.

And unlike DAoC you arnt going to automaticly lose becouse your opponant is buffed and your not.

/shakes fist at the Bounty hunter who one shotted me while i was under the influance of pixie !

Anyone tried PvP as a Combat Medic?

I cant wait to get my skills to Master.
The mind dots etc must be a blast in pvp

They got the buffs or something? Cause I was thinking Master Rifleman and Master Combat Medic/Doctor depending on wich one that is best in PvP.

The CM has AoE groupheals and ranged heals
and they also have HAM poisons.
Havent noticed anything about buffs.
Most be the "Doctor" skills you are thinking about.

The CM/rifle combination isnt that good since
both skillclasses drain on mind and you cant heal mind.
Better to use Pistol or Carbine so you can heal your Health and Action.

 

[old.FIN]

only CM have ranged single/aoe heals , poison single/aoe

only doctor can rezz, buff, cure poisons, disease, stun, intimiate, dizzy, all r single, no aoe




and as CM, u need to have scout, to fast movement because running around healing/poisonong peeps, u just have to have speed

as doctor, make peeps come to u, and heal , range is still 6m, because if doc starts to run all over, peeps will just die, and to make healing little easier , buff them to bone, and comparing to daoc buffs, doc buffs costs money to make.. materials aint cheap.

 

[Shinlu]

Hmm yes your right, the exploration skills in the scout tree is really necessary.

I wont be able to master the Carbine tree since Im going
to master the CM.

But I will mostly act as an support in pvp as it is meant to be,
but I hope I will be able to kick some ass anyway

 

[edoa]

Gah

to many skills to choose have to find a second skill tree that works good with Master Rifleman.

 

[old.FIN]

with rifleman master doc works ok, all stats 2k+ , nothing cant beat that =)
