i really dont know what you mean really. from "my" own expirance people general PvP on player cities which is build in the wild. of course there is achorhead, which also has the massive hill side and getting there without scouting whiles rifleman camp up there is a sure way to die

Of course i am speaking from my own expirance in no way dose it mean the entire universe

Thanks to everyone for the comment, and thank to stgabe for making this a sticky for all of us

Well ipart of the general PvP tips is to take noticed of whats going on which i point it out. if the server you go on generaly fight in npc city then you have think that way and vise versa. Over here in farstar you gotta go out looking for your prey in thier own home. If you ask them politely sometimes they locals comes out and play

Althought we say that the grounds on player cities are fairly flat even a slight differ in terrain will make a different and i know because part of my pvp testing gone through a phase of racing people. It's really surpising how much different it makes. It' certainly enough to expliot others who dont have it. So when you got abit of terrain you the scout becomes your offense and defense in an unotherdox way.

I can write another one of these guide on how the scout can be use given the right eviroment. you can move in first, and pull out first break up a group of chasers, chase people down, and burst run for longer than those who do not have burst run effiecency. the only perks for scout however without terrain IE NPC city ground is the burst run efficiency. However i add to anyone that read this thread. when make a template also take in account of how you will most likely PvP as some of the guys here say thier server nature is differ to mine.

As for running into buildings, running in its own is an art form

Good guide. Some advice though. For fighting other melee, which usually means fencers, I would say having a full suit of stun armor is a must. Also if possible a swordsmen with speed attachments should have a high damage powerhammer for those that are only range professions, and a scythe for melee fighters. The scythe has better accuracy, and a higher min so melee mitigation doesn't effect it as much. With accuracy food, and a scythe a swordsmen should be doing more damage to a fencer then the fencer is doing to the swordsmen. The powerhammer against ranged fighters will do its job. No melee mitigation means it will hit for big numbers, and since they are ranged you will be hitting them most of the time considering there is a accuracy bonus against carbines, and rifles for melees.

my chest/helm have lower base but higher stun

82% base 40% stun on the chest, 83% base 40% stun on the helm. with a perfect eff slice i can theoretically get an 87% base and 40% stun chest/helm, but i don't really neem em.

Great guide, this should help in PvP. Then again maybe I fail because I am just a Master Swordsman and haven't been able to dabble at all in Fencer and TKA. But that will be solved soon so I should be able to use this guide. Kinda off topic, but how do you rate a post?

BTW, I'd highly recommend citros snowcake in PvP. the accuracy increase is a godsend for those of us using hammers (horrible range mods). And it couldn't hurt for those using scythes.
