    You're missing the resistance factors as well.

    PvP reduces damage by 75% so divide all damage dealt (or received) by 4.

    You then have to take into consideration the opponents resistances.

    If they have for example 60% poison resist and are the same level, using 2k poison damage, this'll be:

    2000/4 = 500 pvp raw damage

    500*(1-0.6) = 200 damage after resistances

    Poison arrow ticks 5 times (15s, 3s a tick) so:

    200/5 = 40 damage a tick

    Does this seem close to what you're seeing in game?

    Vicious Arrow. The icon is a neon green arrow. Most archers do not use it.

    Vicious arrow? Sounds familiar.

    First Ivala is from a PvE server, she doesn't have to look behind her back all the time for pvpers. don't assume everyone is on a pvp server.

    Yeah damage is cut a lot by your opponent's defenses. Mobs in comparrison have hardly any resistances. For duels and pvp(if you are up for it) an archer needs to kite(or make your opponent come to you while trying to keep that distance from getting smaller). Your stun arrow and your aim low are good skills to keep your apponent from moving. If they do get close, I suggest using elven acalarity(the 79 skill) if you get it or holy path. I find the evasion buff to always be helpful as well as the winged shell, it asorbs dmg. The wings of grace(the one spark self blessing) helps in tight spots too if they do get close(I almost beat a lvl89 barb when I was 87 with this skill, even when he Demon 3sparked). That's my strategy for dueling melee users.

    Clerics have usually low pdef as do wizards. Stunning and full power hitting will win the battle agains them in duels.
