PvP vs Each Class

I went about 10 pages back and haven't found a thread on PvP for each class although I'm sure there is one. However I'll bet since it's been written it wasn't updated for genie skills.

Anyone got any thoughts on this? I've been in the swamps and getting stunned/2nd shot killed by archers 10 levels over me (lvl 66 cleric). Now I imagine beating someone 10 or more levels over me wouldn't be easy but I want to make sure I'm ready next time to give them, or any other class, a good fight.

I'm not talking winning in a dual here either, but in PvP. I've burned through a few dolls and not gotten anything to show for it.

thanks

    The problem is that if you are on a mob and sneak attacked = Dead! (especially with the higher level archers since they have great range).

    Its really as simple as that. The swamps are some of the harder levels to deal with because of the pk'ing that goes on there.

    The best thing to do: just be aware of your surroundings. Get used to pressing "T" to see who is going in and out of the area. This will probably not save you but it might help to give you a heads up.

    IF you can get a target before or right when you are being attacked you can try to sleep them or get some debuff pots that will help eliminate any stun effect. Either way though if they get a first hit....chances are you are dead.

    Well as a LA cleric it sometimes takes a couple hits for them to take me down unless they critical on me, but still when you get jumped often you're disoriented and can't react quickly enough. I find that sometimes my chromatic doesn't always work 100% of the time and I'm not sure why. Certainly not for 12 seconds as the lvl 1 indicates it should.

    So for archers (and other stuns) you use pots to eliminate the effects? Guess I never even thought of that idea. Good one.

    My question though, and reason for the thread, was get an idea for each class what tactics people have found to work well in PvP (If they don't mind sharing b:chuckle). Up until now I hadn't done much apart from duels and in those I fared much better, (Seal, Spam IH a few times, attack with Razor for mage class or thunder for physical class, lather, rinse, repeat as necessary) but PvP is so much different these tactics alone are getting me killed.

    Thanks
