PvP: What is your little secret?

I want you to share your little PvP secrets.
One little secret I constantly keep using is the Potion of Heroism. I have hardly seen anyone using it in PvP so I am going to write about it here. I think it is quite a nice little helper and very easy to use.
It can be had from one of the stores in Sharandar and costs 15 Gold Crescents. If you have a ton of these Gold Crescents and like to PvP then this is a nice way to make use of them.
The potion increases some of your attributes and what makes it interesting for PvP is that its effect stays on after death and for an entire hour. So you do not have to apply it again and again, but can go back into the fight right away.

I go to the red points and stand on them until they are blue. I try to kill or scare off the red mans, who want to make the blue points red.
Wait, never mind.
Earns you lots and lots of respect in the PvP community.
(actually not, it just says "help, I'm desperate to win and I don't know what else to do")
Anything that gives a major advantage will get used by the majority immediately, making it a must-have, and the wide use equalizes it to the point where nobody gets an advantage from it unless someone forgets about it. This makes the little advantages not so little after all.
The standard potions are somewhat questionable, but like skalt112 said, does every advantage help. The effects of these are lost after death and I admit that the time to reapply them may not be worth it. However, it can mean that your team, when using potions at start, will win the first tower fight and will go in the lead. Winning this first encounter can reassure your team and improve moral. While moral is not measurable easily does a team with little moral more often end up camping at the fire place, and with blame being pass around on the chat, than not.
Of course I do give players with a lot of active potions more priority when trying to find a killable target, just to see these effects removed. But I also do have respect for a TR who can not only perma-cloak but also has a ton of potions active. If that TR knows what he is doing will it be pretty hard for you to kill him and to get all these effects removed.
You can use them alright, I take greater pleasure in killing those with elixirs. As I said, in the PvP community the general consensus is that it is a desperate move, and we often laugh at those stacking elixir over elixir, especially as they still lose.
Pretty much just here to agree with persephone, basically we all could do this, but we chose not to. In order to save our bankroll.
So, don't mind what other people might think.. Use whatever your heart's desire... It's legit and smart.
Other people might think those that dont use anything at all might be too stingy OR poor OR saving up OR isnt knowledgable enough to actually use it, thus going bare...
There's really no defined rule here.. do whatever we think is best. Thats the essence.
There is nothing wrong with it. It doesn't violate TOS.
I really don't care either way. Its just a sentiment from the pvp community that I am parroting.
Who can then just open the store and buy same pots if they feel they are a bit underperforming.
Then both of you wasted AD or ardent coins. With the exception that this spent AD hurts you more than the CCH guys you seem to hate
Secret no.2 : Learn to AFK or just play sneaky when your team are clueless, this avoids depressing PVP experience. (Apply to soloqueue only)
Secret no.3 : Join a respectful PVP guild and play with the top tier players.
Notice how progressive these are? Baby step 1 2 3.
Yea , i can't get past step 1.
Right, but who said that it gives them an advantage over me? Money can't get you actual gaming skill or intelligence... Quite a few overgeared people are pretty delusional - in other words, credit cards heroes. Ask yourself why you cry so much on these very forums. Bingo, because you are not as good of a gamer as you think you are, even though you seem to be stacked to the max plus utilizing exploits/glitches. You're entirely missing the point.
So please, spare me/us your nonsense for once.
It takes time. Most current top tier players have spend countless hour PVPing hard in order to get where they are.
In general I find trying out all class in PVP help building up your match up knowledge, and skill are basically only acquired by actual play time, 1 v 1 is the best way to practice if you really want to get better in a short amount of time. Rotation awareness would come once you play more higher end PVP matches.
You can't buy an emblem, rank 10s, perfect bilethorn and spend 5 minutes reading the perma-TR rotation?
Maybe you meant to say, its not worth it spending that much real money to play pvp at a high level in this game
PS. Rather hypocritical that people are criticizing Potions and Elixirs while spamming Legendary Emblems...
Enforce rainbow parties in PvP ---- 10v10 PvP ----
I did find that funny. "advantages can't be used unless....they cost a bajillion ad!"
The ardent ones are more powerful, but meh, easy as hell to get.
. . . Tip: If you see a mage using Shard of Endless Avalanche, your team should focus on him first, then the cleric. Mages specced into Shard for PvP can really dish out a lot of damage, more-so than most other specs I've seen - there's exceptions of course.

If you see a mage period, kill it first.
Mages have no constant defensive ability to rely on
No **** lol. I hate it when my teammate just pile up on the enemy GWF when he is under unstoppable, when I see that I just afk lol. Sad.
I nvm the result, there are too many things out of my control.
Equip them -> Use -> Unequip Them -> Equip healing potion for PvP/PvE...
If they could be used from the inventory (without equipping them) it would be great
Aelar Hawkwind - Archer
Karrin Feywinter - Mistress of Flame
Errin Duskwalker - Executioner
Darquess - Soulbinder
My 15.8 GWF uses Wild Storm most of the time and I win PVP matches most of time. I've never gotten any comments from players about it, I guess that's due to them being too busy trying to survive my 10k Takedowns and 20K IBStrikes. In the game, just like in real life there is only one thing you need to focus on and that is what you can do. No point focusing on what others do 'cause you dont control others - you're in charge of yourself. And what is that PVP community you speak of, you got an HQ where you hang out for tea and cookies and war stories ?
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.
