Unique and fun pvp abillities?

Hudsucker · #1 11-28-2011, 06:17 PM

Hi there, just got P99 up and running and first off I'd just like to say I'm super greatful for all the hard work put into it. I played EQ from release in 99 then left shortly before velious and since then have not been able to find a way to recreate the feelings it gave me way back when. Aside from heavy drug use.

I started a human bard on the pvp server, just to look around. Thinking about keeping it going since I'll be able to run from people/do a bunch of stuff I wanna do like sneak around zones and look at stuff.

I was wondering what EQ pvp was like, and wondering if you guys had any thoughts on the most fun abillities to use while in PVP. I'd imagine minor illusion is fun for hiding in plain sight, as well as 3 shotting people with nukes. Can ya'll think of any interesting EQ dynamics that work surprisingly well in pvp? does charm work in pvp? does flash of light still blind players?

thanks. Looking forward to seeing y'all in game!

Bards on live could use bellows to push people off boats. Havnt tested to confirm if it works here.

Song of Highsun is probably my favorite pvp ability. Very fun.

Some bard mezzes have a pull of about 5-10 feet on them, meaning you can chain it over and over til you move someone over a cliff into lava.

Very fun. This is when it becomes practical to throw a bunch of charmed pets at people.

Post velious most fun ever..... using that strong horns horn from west wastes to push afk people into the hole.

Original was having a higher level try to grief you and then you charm a rat and sick it on them within site of the guards and the guards would assist the rat and pwn them.

bards are fun though... you will likely die lots while you figure out pvp. once you get dispell/dot yourself and stack your buffs right you will be basically untouchable out doors.

Druids get pretty much every good PvP ability in the game. Hopefully people stop making druids, because I am sick of seeing them as every other character.

Blind, Root, Snare, Invis, See Invis, SoW, heals, DoTs, and nukes. Wish these abilities, you should have no trouble picking and winning most of your fights.

thanks for the great responses!

what is push pull mez?

Also, do the guards assist in pvp? I read a thread that said they didnt... super bummed if they dont i remember them assisting in classic...

EDIT: read the song of highsun description.... does it cause an enemy to gate home? if so... oh god i'm sticking with bard
