What doesnt work in pvp on a blue server

[Mallakith]

Ok ive been challenged by the mt of the guild im applying to on KB to a duel but i need to know in advance what does and doesnt work on ppl.

I know Lifetap dot doesnt (shaaame just got fang of death too (( )

How about lifeburn? as it could be the trick up my sleeve ;-)

do pvp resists work in duels on blue servers the same as in pvp on "zek" (fucking stupid merge)

cheers

i do not have lifeburn but it works on zek...
the only thing ive heard is that it sucks cause it has like a 7 sec cast time
and if someone is sowed they can get to you in that time i think....

lifetap dots work as well
just not in a group

"you cannot cast this spell on groupmembers"

i dunno what class's are usually MT? SK pally or warriors right?

im only 57 so this might be dumb to you higher level people

the first spell i hit them with is lifetap dot, then when they come at me cast "incidious retrogression" this spell doesnt land everytime but it lands 100 times more than a magic based snare will

if snare doesnt land i just Shadowstep and dot him
then kite him around until he dies

life tap dots don't work in dual's, everything else is fair game on a blue server.

so recep

Life tap dots (NO)

Everything else (Yes)

I reccomed dotting and SS, against big arse tanks, or if you want to be super sneaky just grab con, and dot while he beats on you, then run around and he will die.

[Undacova Claimincrips]

sorry niz

< didnt know lifetap wouldnt work in duel

was thinking again

i usually have harmshield up when i PVP

even tho i always forget to use it

but if you got dots on him and you just need to waste time..

harmshield will give ya 18 seconds where hes wasting his time dying

[Nizerns]

aye HS and its upgrade are handy for pvp, especially if you know your going to need it.

just fyi on a blue

Life tap (yes)

life tap dot (no)


Have a good day, about to log on for some pvp, ie the gankfest of zek =).

[Undacova Claimincrips]

ahhhhh!!!!

i dunno if this is true
but i know ive life dotted oor people in arena

might wanna test it before you try it

sometimes when im PVP ill just grab a green mob and cast demilich skull cap on it :D

[Nizerns]

hmm if you dual the tank in an arena maybe you can life tap dot /shrug. But i know it duals i had in EK and SK that a life tap doesn't land on people in duals, on a bluibie server =)

[shraklor]

does Screaming Terror and Fear work ?

[Mallakith]

hmmm so fang might work in an arena.... /cackle

Ima gonna grab conv and hopefully pull the lifeburn out when hes about 30% )

Ill probably die hideously but wtf its only a game )

[Felicite]

Arena or no.. on Blue servers..

I am 95% certain Life Tap DoTs will not land on PCs (100% certain outside of Arena.. more like 99% certain in it).

I am 100% certain Fear will not.

I am 100% certain Charm will not (not applicable unless you are somehow fighting an undead PC.. I know).

I am 100% certain that Enchanter Mezes will work.. so I ask will Screaming Terror work below the level cap? I have never tried.

I cannot think of any other spell lines (ok.. besides some kinds of Illusions, not applicable, and Invisiblity and other spells that are group member targets only).

All the spells will land on pets.. but you are fighting a Warrior?

[Undacova Claimincrips]

they did away with charm like a gadzillion years ago right

but undead illusion wont make them undead

i tried it with my staff

a friend with AoN let me whack at him till it procced

"this spell only works on undead"

= Sarcasm.

Only Undead PCs I know of are in other games.. like WoW.

[Undacova Claimincrips]

soooooooorrrrrrrrryy



sarcasm is hard to notice in words when you cant hear voice?


and the level req i dont think matters in PVP, (screaming terror)

Ton Po's is mobs up to 55 and will stun any PC

[thisnecrocory]

I think you should be able to use every spell

Got a friend who plays a 67 warrior. From hisperspective, he tries to use terrain to his advantage to force casters he duels to get within melee range, like if it's in the arena he stays behind one of the spires till the caster gets bored. If he can get them to come within melee range, he'll keep them stunned so they can't cast while he's meleeing them. He tells me that high resists are of course important, but his main agenda is never letting them cast.

I don't know how warriors fight on pvp servers, but i'm guessing this is the normal dueling strategy on blue servers.

I've only ever duelled once -- against a rogue. I destroyed him, of course. He tried to Joust me hehe. I just life-tapped him everytime he made a joust run. Couldna been much easier. We were in N Karana by the Nexus Scion. He was a Vah Shir, and tried to make a run for the guards when he got low, thinking the guards would kill me(we were both low 30-something). The guards didn't care, cause they don't mind gnomes too much, and i spent a lot of time killing bandits in the karanas in the 20's.

I don't claim to know anything personally about duelling. I just thought the perspective of my warrior friend might be meaningful.
