PVP ?s!!!!Follow

Hey guys i was wondering, i started out as a ranger, cuz tha whole stealth kill from a distance thing soudns awsome, but what classes seem to be the true pvp masters? i want to wreak some havoc and do really good, but id prefer a scout, i was thinking if not ranger, than maybe do an assasin for pvp, ne1 got ideas? or ne help with this subject?

Bad link Dirges, or at least i can't bring it up. I'd imagine that for scouts, ranger and assassin would be an awesome choice for PvP.

Didn't they just nerf brigands?

I played a brigand up to 20 and didn't like the feel, I also think my swashie puts out just as much damage as my brigand.

I wonder if healers are on top of the PvP stats because groups with a healer will do better, or if it means healers actually do well in solo PvP? If you're deciding on a class simply for PvP, it is good to consider both offense and defense, group and solo. For example, if you are soloing and get ganked as an assassin, you can Evac away. Nice defense that makes your stats look good if you play solo PvP. So which class is best for PvP? ... once again, it all comes down to HOW you want to play.

My thought on ranger...

I love the ranger...

Nothing is better than being all sneaky, stealthed out, have someone on track... stalk him down or wait till he comes near you... hide on a high ledge overlooking your prey, then delivering massive DPS from above, and they dont have a clue where its coming from...

Or doing a hit and run on a group of freeps...

Long distance massive DPS is great for SOlo PVP... sneak up on a group of freeps/Qs... pick out the paper armor Mage in the group... deliver your massive blows... then run off at 85 percent sprint till you break combat, and run off at 84 normal run speed.. (if all the right character / aa is picked)

Also, in groups... you can tend to get lost on the outskirts... sit up on that tree, or on the ledge, or off in the distance, and deliver strikes to whoever you want... while the battle rages on in the closed circle of the swashy, tank, and healer...u can get lost on the outskirts delivering the massive DPS that rangers have

PROBLEMS:

close combat.... for rangers, it plain blows.... your main DPS is from afar. get up close, or get caught off guard by someone, and your main DPS strikes are useless unless u can get away and stealth in the middle of a fight... which takes tremendous skill

can it be done>.. yes very much so. Can easily learn the tricks to knockdown, stuns, stifles, then move back for your massive DPS.... its just better to be the first striker

As for Swashy class... u get caught off guard, and get attacked, all your DPS is upclose, so that attacker better be ready for a world of hurt..... u want to be up close and personal, to deliver massive DPS and stuns/stifles/knockdowns... etc...

Now u cant go and stalk a group of freeps/Q's unless u can take them all.... there is no hit and run from afar with Swashy... u got to get down and dirty and up close with them... so its a different playing field... u cant get lost on the outskirts with a swashy....

As for me. I prefer Swashy over Ranger, just cuz of the distance fighting required... I could never play anotehr class that doesnt have tracking or stealth or evac again... how could u live without that... blind and stranded.... bah :)
