I'm not a pvp guy but for the heck of it I accepted a 'friendly' duel from someone while I was waiting for the shuttle in Corolag. So he has Master Brawler Master Fencer and is a big whiny PvP type, I have Master Brawler Master Pikeman Pistoleer 0042. So he warcry's/intimidates me, no problem, I just wait until he's done kiting away to intimidate him, then start wacking away, and you know what--I was hitting as frequently as him. I just have speed tapes on me (+101 speed thanks to Master Brawler) and a loot drop LVA (-45 range mods) so I was able to hit each time he hit except for the very strange double hits he would periodically get. Hmmm, he would've been toast had I used my fire/poison lances on him. We fought for 2-3 minutes then the shuttle landed then I /endduel because I HATE waiting for the shuttle.

we will become good, but atm in 1 on 1 duel i can basically beat any melee profession by using mind fires and poisons
i like that idea of PvP but also the revamp will make NS harder for us to kill, then the price of good looted lances will sky rocket (again)

Not going to happen.
600-2.5k PvP damage using ph3 would require you to be using a 322-1344 damage weapon. They've already said weapons are getting weaker, there will be no more 322-1344 damage lances.
Maybe we'll improve, maybe not. No way of knowing at this time.

TKA will also be fairly powerful too, but I can picture pikeman becoming the new FOTM (if it already hasn't) and I get giddy thinking of how good my 224-824 VL will do, but I've been looking for a good LVA too.

Won't happen.
When the armor balance and mitigation change goes live, so will weapon changes, special changes, speed/ham changes, etc (lets not forget the 75% pvp reduction).
We'll be on even ground with the other professions, not ruling the battlefield.

Err, so what exactly are they going to do about looted weapons?

they just put the mitigation thing live, not sure they're gonna remove it, as it was intended as a part of the combat revamp, it was back in pub 5 or 6 if I remember
