Thread: Noob PVP Question
What are your favorite opening attacks in PvP?
Are any skills that are only PvE that I should not put in a PvP macro?
What does your opening salvo look like/will look like in an ideal situation against a ranged/kiting PK opponent?
UnarmedLunge, Knockdown2, beat the crap out of them.
Against other melee I use Warcry also.
They work in pvp just fine, and even stick most of the time.
But that being said if that's all you got, your probalby just asking for a short life. You'll do little more than piss them off lol.
lol. Ya I hope to hit them with more than bubble gum on their comp soles. I hope to tenderize them with a stacked bleed and pistoleer special before launch an UA ranged 'stun'. What are your PvP prefs:
1) VK or no VK;
2) follow-through strikes
warcy and intimdate works in pvp, and they work more frequently then not.
it all really depends on who you fight.
for instance:
Bounty hunter (with LLC equipted) this would be a bad call to use warcry and intimdate because they do 1k a pop, so that means you gotta get him on his back before he gets the second special off. something like this , burst run lunge then KD. get him on has ass asap
Bounty hunter (with scatter) this senario you can afford to pop off intimdate and warcry, What i usualy do is tap CoB, for what ever good that does, then put in my Q 2 intimdates then 2 warcrys, you should be down in either health, or mind. this is when you heal yourself , or use a fishank to heal your mind pool, then continue to chase lunge kd2, then finish him off
Comando more times then not this guy will have a flame thrower equipted, their is a 16m dead zone, that means if he gets within 16m your dead.....so you gotta kite him. ya sounds crazy, but works, kite his ass tell you land warcry, once its on, he is delayed for 10 seconds, you dont need to really intimdate, jsut warcry, then turn around an pumle his ass
HeavySwordsman Imparative you land intimdate before they land head bleed, if you dont the fights over most of the time, if you land it you can kill the swordsman before the bleed kills ya. I usualy kite them out of range tell i can land both intimdate and warcry, then turn around and dont use anything other then blind/stun on him over and over. You just turned him into a gimp and its not hard even with if they are in doctor buffs and composite
Master Pistoleer most of these guys are using prepatch FWG5s and using fan shot. you have time, since the damage is random, but not alot of time, intimdate warcry, and if needed because these guys are usualy hardcore kiters Burstrun, toss yourself a heal, lunge+KD2 end of story. Its not a big deal if hes a smugler. most will try to lowblow then warcry, so you get lowblowed make sure you got a stand comand, with a heal macro built into it. What that will do is stand you up, and put the delay on the heal. You still have time, armor or no armor.
Riffleman I usualy dont try to get too close to them, doing 800 point mind shots, personaly i use pets, and tell them to sick balls, hide behind corners, and exact my revenge on them if they are dumb enough to get too close. In fact the other day when i had just finished my first holocron (image designer) all i had was master image designer and master CH, and i made sure i was out of his 64m and let the pets own him...and they did. If you dont have pets, thats simply what i do, not a huge deal, but like the LLC, i would not stand too close to him too long messing with intimdate and warcry. try to get him on his ass asap.
Carbineer ok well seriously should have no problems here hehe maybe let the guy get you half down to make him feel good /shrug
Taras Kasi Masters most TKs i have ever ran into simply try to kd me and and spam UH3. kite them intimdate warcry, try to get the first lunge off, and the first KD...if that fails get your stand heal macro handy incase you fall first. make sure not to use UH3 or UH2 on him, but blind/stun instead. take advantage of CoB, it helps some.
Composite armor your going to want to use UH2 on composite for the obvious reasons. ham is a killer, use UH3 after KD on everyone else.
in almost every case intimdate warcry lunge KD2 is the key. use them. also carry some breath of heaven for PVE, and some fishank for PVP. always make sure to keep your power boost refreshed, and use 200+ vks for best results.
if your CH as TK , best PVP combo are
1) two Bile Drenched Quenkers
2) Blood Seeker mite, and a Merek Avenger
then again these pets are up on the blocks to get the old nerf bat too.
anyways thats what i try to do when i come across various people with various professions and weapons etc. hope this helps some.
Yes. Ditto. Thank you for the detail. I do have a MCH toon -- and like the dual biles -- they being nerfed like Maulers etc =(?
ya but its not huge, they still KD+dizzy from 150m and poison...ya they will get 2 shoted but hey, i can always tell them to knock someone down =)
who knwos perhaps there will be soemthing interesting for MCH's with the new babies

Do items decay in PVP deaths???
simple answer......no
when you clone it gives you a message stating that because your death was due to PvP, your items did not suffer decay, although the cloning and wounds upon cloning still take effect
