Thread: PvP Tactics.....
I've been very successful in pvp lately... both GCW and duels. If its a duel, you really prepare differently depending on the opponent, I love when I get to see how they fight before I duel them. In GCW you have to just be prepared in a generic manner, and hotkey things such as brandy, canape, muon, and neutron pixie.
Food to use :
Thakitillo : Defense vs KD food. I don't use this as much in GCW, but always in duels. The turning point in a duel is when someone kd's... against TKM they always go for a straight up KD before a posture down, so this helps A LOT.
Brandy : Get Bio'd brandy 400+ if its on your server, with 50 or less filling so you can take 2.
Canape : Willpower/Focus food. I ussually take 1 with thakitillo in duels, or...
Synthsteak : I often use this as opposed to canape in duels against an opponent who I expect to do high damage.
Muon/Pixie : I keep these hotkeyed for their instant healing/buffing effect in a duel or especially GCW
Armor : 80% kinetic at least, 61% base at least, 4-10% stun in all pieces, 30% or higher in helmet. Some also do 30% or higher in chest.
I'll get back later on tactics.
I already use those food/drinks. i have brandy at 417, 2 uses. and can eat canape 714, 2 uses
also have adv comp, 35%stun 80%kin 70%base, wear some adv padded pieces with it
what irks me is how we have to get an acklay to do damage on people with capped mods, and if they have 35%stun what do we do then?
with 35% stun the total damage decrease is around 67.5%. This is still ess than 80% composite resists on say... kinetic. With 40% resists it bumps up to 70% protection vs stun baton.
Say your gaffi is 1.5x better than your stun baton.
150 x .2 = 30
100 x .325 = 32.5
Stun baton still does 2.5 more damage per hit if opponent is wearing 80% kinetic 35% stun
150 x .2 = 30
100 x .3 = 30
Stun baton does exact damage as gaffi if opponent is wearing80% kinetic and 40% stun
That is assuming your gaffi is 1.5x better than your stun baton... mine only have 5 more damage, both ackay.. rotten speed sliced gaffi.
how does an acklay stun baton work on people with capped def mods and with buffs/adv comp? this is the only thing i cant get past and it is eating me alive. i come across these people with all there defenses capped and being able to use FoW. we need more damage, or the dual weilding better help us immensley
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but dodge food doesnt stack with dodge
it has its own status look at your skills when u take it u get no add to dodge skill
it just adds 40% to a separte dodge dont ask me why it just works that way maybe they will fix it
