--don't forget food buffs. Air Cake increases your dodge ability. Two Vasarian Brandies buff your mind stats. Other foods increase defense against knockdown, poison, etc. Experiment to see how much your "stomach" will hold. Make a list in your /notepad of foods and their attributes.
--If you heal yourself Ruby Biel allows you a limited number of quicker heals.
--If you are a master Brawler try Intimidate 2 at least twice in the beginning.
--Make a macro that fires off your bleed, dizzy, blind, lunge2 and then a couple of the strongest regular hits you can do.
--Use the COB macro listed previously, and once they are bleeding and intimidated just let your regular hits go to keep from draining your HAM too quick....depending on how much damage you are doing.
--If necessary hit a lunge1 and couple of hits and repeat.

hrmm well use the CoB macro at all times, air cake is nice but pikatta pie is better, get a high dmg ackalay stun baton. warcry them,intimidate 1 and 2 then dizzy and lunge 2 so they kd.appply a blind then scatter hit 2 a couple times if they can heal themselves taht way u get mind dmg. if they cant heal then spam hit 3, but if its a pvp situation not a duel still use scatter hit 2, dot weapons r nice also, a couple mind poisin weapons and maybe a mind fire one owuld be a good addition but dont spend to much because of the nerf coming up soon

that is why you don't macro them. you have to actually press the buttons. macro pvp=death. you have to be able to adapt to what your target is doing, using macros you can't.

"don't use macros"??!!! thats a bunch of crap. use a macro that loads them up with all the state effects and hotkey your important moves. You'll save a lot of room on your hotkeys by doing so. In your state macro put warcry first so that you'll have time to run up to them while they are delayed. i've got the states macro, scatterhit2, dizzyhit2, lunge1 and intimidate1 hotkeyed. If you have a KD move then hotkey that too and stick in in your macro. Remember to dizzy them first, then lunge or KD.

I'm not an expert at PvP, but the first thing you should always do is use Intimidate on your opponent. Since you have Master Brawler, Intimidate 2 sticks longer, and more often, so you'll be okay there. Secondly, get the best foods you can, musician and entertainer buffs, spice, a good Imperial PSG (usually run about 45% stun protection), and a decent set of stun armor. Also, if you can afford it, buy the best stun baton you can afford.
As for moves, Intimidate, Warcry, Dizzy, Lunge, Scatterhit, and Blind are all your friends. Repeat as necessary, and never stand still, and always try to pick out 1 person to go against. If they kite, autofollow and burst run to close the gap.
Macrowise:
Name: CoB
/centerOfBeing;
/pause 37; (Since you have Master Brawler, that adds +5 to duration, so I go 1 second higher so it doesn't loop so much)
/macro CoB;
That should be about it..I'm sure the PvP vets on this board could add stuff that I missed.

for a tip in pvp also keep lunge 1 in your hotkeys seeing that alot off people have deff vs. regular kd but deff. vs posture change down is harder to come by.

evidently you don't pvp very much. what do you do if the states don't stick, run the whole macro again? the only macro to use for pvp is the CoB macro. Get a clue.

My template is
4/1/4/1 in scout
4/3/4/1 in medic
4/4/4/4 in Brawler
4/4/4/4 in Fencer
In pvp I like scout so i can chase those kiters and if there up a hill i can easily get them.
I fought a fencer friend of mine who is
4/4/4/4 fencer
4/4/4/4 brawler
0/0/4/1 Pistoleer
4/0/0/0 TKM
I was able to hold my own except he landed a ton of knock downs on me...............
And i hardly knocked him down because of pistoleer if i had used foods would that have possibly changed the outcome?

Well I sort of agree with both sides. In PVP you want speed, being slow is death. You don't want to be stuck looking for keys. Yet you don't want to be running long macros either. I'm Rifle and Fencer, so I am forced to conserve space.
So here is what IMO is he best way. Make a macro for Dizzy, Intimidate, and Blind. Add Bleed if you want, but bleeds suck anyway. With Fencer our specials go so fast that it doesn't matter if one misses and you hit it again. Running all 3.
If you want keep the above specials on your second row of hotkeys, under the ones you press your f keys for. So you don't need to page around.
Other advice. Watch how much damage you are doing, if it sucks with a stun baton, switch to a Gad Baton, they are wearing stun armor.
Just practice.
