Some questions for PvP purpose

[halleylight]

1. How do you allocate your Prophet's skill points if you're gonna use one in your formation ?

2. How do you deal with a stun pressure + AoE build when you have only one monk ? Let's assume a stun pressure + AoE build is something like this :

:spt::bst::vik:
:inv::witc::can:
:exo::mnk::malehero:(Staff)

3. In a situation where almost all your mercs have got a Combo 1 and assume you have no way to stop your opponent's Exo and N.Vik from casting the next turn, which scroll will you use, Purification scroll or Awakening scroll ?

4. Who is a good substitution for a Pirate, a Spartan and an Elementalist ?

5. We know that Swordsman has a resistance against Fire attacks, and Viking has a resistance against Ice attacks, is there anything special for a poor Spearman ?

6. Which one is better, a +4 full set of level 100 gears and a +0 full set of level 105 gears ?

7. Does Vortex have any good use in PvP ?

8. A combo of Chaos Wind and Ravaging Melody is great, Xargrr proved it. Is a combo of Deep Insight and Devastating Shell any good as that ?

9. For a spike build, is a dual guns or a dual bows better in general ?

I really appreciate your answers, even if you don't answer all of my questions. Thank you very much !

1. How do you allocate your Prophet's skill points if you're gonna use one in your formation ?

-> max concentrate.

2. How do you deal with a stun pressure + AoE build when you have only one monk ? Let's assume a stun pressure + AoE build is something like this :

:spt::bst::vik:
:inv::witc::can:
:exo::mnk::malehero:(Staff)

-> warcry on witch to cover both mercs. For snipe builds, just shoot down inventor, then cannoneer.

3. In a situation where almost all your mercs have got a Combo 1 and assume you have no way to stop your opponent's Exo and N.Vik from casting the next turn, which scroll will you use, Purification scroll or Awakening scroll ?

-> cast awaken, and use awaken scroll if freeze+mana seal is all I'm going to get.

4. Who is a good substitution for a Pirate, a Spartan and an Elementalist ?

-> LK, none, none. LK hits okay (definitely nothin like pirate), and more durable.

5. We know that Swordsman has a resistance against Fire attacks, and Viking has a resistance against Ice attacks, is there anything special for a poor Spearman ?

-> Apparently none. even if they are "lightning" resistant, Lspear is like the only lightning skill. and no, they dun take reduced dmg from judgment from nike scroll. I'll go with "none" for now.

6. Which one is better, a +4 full set of level 100 gears and a +0 full set of level 105 gears ?

-> for pve, +4. For pvp, +0.

7. Does Vortex have any good use in PvP ?

-> early on, to lower vit, which lowers max hp.

8. A combo of Chaos Wind and Ravaging Melody is great, Xargrr proved it. Is a combo of Deep Insight and Devastating Shell any good as that ?

-> no. DI sucks in pvp.

9. For a spike build, is a dual guns or a dual bows better in general ?

-> dual bows DUH.

I really appreciate your answers, even if you don't answer all of my questions. Thank you very much !

Wow, that's great Locksley. Thank you really ! However, for my Question 1, how are you going to learn the other 3 skills ?

[Locksley]

the 3 skills are tricky, most ppl pick 2 to work on. way back in beta, rusty axe and broken spear are the 2 chosen due to popularity of seth will back then. For now, pick shatter sword (for pirates), and then pick either rusty axe or broken spear.

Nowadays, the recent trend has increase in spartan+pirate. ppl are beginning to enjoy left click mashing, and for those with good gears...it works even if u only have half a brain working.
