Looking for 1-on-1 PVP tips

[Iandyan]

I keep /ex bound to all my movement keys.

Highly recommended.

*if wizard gets the first nuke against most anyone they have a huge advantage and you should run
*use spirit of cheetah for fast movement speed to escape. If you get hit or cast a spell it breaks
*always have thorns up if fighting a melee
*why use pummice? Your dispell has a recast time so dispell/pummice right after so you don't have a delay
*you won't be dispelling too much 1v1 because the burst damage/lack of OP gear makes fights quick
*lvl 55 you get rain nuke blizzard. If someone is sitting, rooted or possibly afk suprise them with a rain nuke followed by any quick casting nukes (I think Druids get caelfaction around lvl 50) yout rain nuke will be eating them up followed by quick nukes= gg
*druids are ok at pvp but melee with end game gear will beat you most every fight
*sometimes it's better to just nuke and not dot because burst damage is OP on this server. If you know it's going to be a long fight (if someone is wearing a fungi, or against tanky melees)go ahead and dot. From my experience, dots work well if someone is running/ trying to zone but I would much rather start the fight with a nuke or blizzard especially against casters/depending on who I'm fighting
*umm yea get j boots or 1 dispel= your dead
*gl

Ohh and if your fighting a pet class always root their pet before you focus on the player (obviously)

this was posted a long time ago in the starting zone. has some useful tips:

I am a useless enchanter and never get YT, but here are some quick tips I am aware of:
- Dispell is important in a variety of ways. Strip opponents buffs, dispell DoTs on you. You can buy pumice at merchants to have dispell on an inventory clickable item.
- instant click buffs are useful for protecting your buffs and resetting cooldown timer on spells. Jboots makes sure than cannot make you slow by dispelling you.
- Get resist gear
- Be aware others have resist gear and use spells that are not easily resisted or are not magic based.
- Melees take you down fast. Keep your distance or lose.
- you can regain concentration if you run around during casting and get back to the exact position you started. You can use a corner to ensure sucess.
- Water will break los when others are casting on you

just talk to kammbo about druid pvp stats

1. Use macroquest to find people
2. Cast the same 2 lame druid dots and run away
3. Repeat

Kammbo rank 29.

Pumped rank 6393 as the easiest pvp class.

Focus on surviving and resetting first. If someone jumps you, ditch, heal up and then come back and try to get the jump on them. See if they dispel dots or offensively dispel; see if they have decent MR. Against melees, get a pet if one is available. Even a shitty one will break channeling and force them to eat dots or zone, in which case they are taking PvE damage. Medi in spots where you have a good view of anyone approaching and keybind /who to something convenient/habitual.

Realistically, you will largely suck til 54. Just grind it out and on't take it too seriously. Most players PvPing sub 50 are in endgame gear and more than likely rolling 15 buffs deep.

If you are early 50s, get that MR to at least 110. It should be higher, but MR on a druid can be annoying and can cost you possibly too much in other stats considering this box is very melee heavy. You can always dispel a root or snare if it sticks.

Ele resists below 125 are useless, so unless you can hit 145+ buffed, I would just ignore them. Don't sit in Blizzards and you can skip cold, only wizards use it really. PvP shams and necros are a myth, so don't stress pr dr.

Organize your spellbook so that you can swap gems quickly. Don't have dots on page 3, thorns on page 16, and heals somewhere in the middle.

Hi,

I was wondering if people could share their 1-on-1 pvp tips,
based on classes involved.

This is my first PVP server, so my first instinct is to gate
or run to zone when I am attacked.
Then I sit and think how the fight could have went.

For example, last night I was nuked by a wizard.
I am a druid, so I cannot out-dps him in ranged combat.
I thought I could try rooting him and if root lands,
close the distance and melee, using mana for self-heals.

Would this work?

I would appreciate if PVP pros could share their expertise!

Good pvp experience is hard to get.

Accept that your first couple of chars will do like shit, and your next ones will do also KDA ratio wise, unless you pick a few select classes.

Its a whole different game from PvE, but much like PvE you won't improve unless you invest time.

Ignore the insults, remember the good times. If you manage to do this, PM me with info.
