Alright, well I have recently started playing on Lost City and started a barbarian, which I love by the way. But I am in consideration of making an alt in case of boring times but I need to play a character that is somewhat going to succeed in PvP. I have considered attack priest but I don't know anything about BM's except they are the most overplayed class next to venos.
I thought of BM because of their flexibility with so many different weapons and a large skill tree to sum it all up. I have noticed, even with my barbs low level, that BMs don't stand a chance, buuut I'm still interested.
I just don't want to end up with axes because then I might as well just stick to my barbarian. I was thinking something a little more off from the barbarian like swords or fists. Do either of these hold up against any of the other classes in PvP?

Thanks to whoever takes the time to answer this!

    Well, for PvP the best weapons are Axe and Spear.

    Sword can be good too, but not as good as the other two. And fist are not even able to match Sword at PvP.

    As you said, you might want to stick with Barbarian if you're going to use Axes with BM, also, if you get bored of Barbarian you will get bored from BM too, since both are meele classes.

    Well, at least BM's get a nice selection of cool, powerful skills. Barb's have a small amount useful offensive(and good looking) skills.

    For PvP I would recommend spear. It's also not shabby in PvE. Very well rounded man...

    I want PvP but I've tried archer and didn't like it one bit. Fist BM's seem to be pretty crappy but whatever, just thought I would ask lol. I am very very happy with my WB and probobly always will be, and an alt is still a distant thought...just planning it out. I might try spear but attack cleric is probobly the path I'll choose when the time comes.b:laugh

    I don't get why everyone puts down fists when they themselves have never tried a fist BM. Just because they don't like the idea of a fist BM and/or the skill line up doesn't mean you should discourage anyone from trying a build that actually might fit their play style.

    As a mater of fact, when I started playing PWI, I wanted to go fist but didn't because all I read everywhere was that fist users suck! Well you know what, if your play style matches the fist play style, then go for it. After trying EVERY other type of char in the game (yes, I tried every different type of BM) I didn't care to play any of them. I got each char past level 30 too. Then I tried the fist. Yes I was discouraged! I actually went with a LA build! And you know what? There hasn't been anyone on the Lost City server within my same level that could even scratch me. As a matter of fact, someone got so butt hurt that they couldn't drop my health more then about 100 pts in like 20 hits they called in a spear user that was at least twice my level to PK me. It took them even 3 or 4 hits to kill me, lol. Sure, I might not hit hard, and I might cast skills at the same rate as everyone else, but did anyone stop to think that I can cast my skills WAY MORE OFTEN THEN YOU!!!!!! I feel like I got some sorta cheat where I have endless amounts of Sparks or something!

    Anyways, I am tired of hearing ppl talk **** about fist users and just thought I would put my two cents in.

    PS> "DIMOND SUTRA" IS GG AS ALL HELL WHEN YOU CAN SPAM IT ENDLESSLY!!!!!

    You shouldn't assume that people haven't tried a Fist build. Many of us wouldn't talk without haven't tried it before.

    Anyways, noob level PvP is dumb.

    Get to a decent level, then talk.
