Ok, I'm thinking about making a character on a PvP server and trying my hand out at it. I'll admit I'll be new to PvP as I'm used to playing on a PvE server. But I'm trying to figure out what class to roll with. Currently I'm trying to decide between a Barb, Wizard, or an Archer. I know Barbs have the high HP, Wizards at higher levels can hit really hard, Archers have high Dex. Currently I'm reading over PvP builds for all 3 classes but still having trouble deciding so I'm here to ask the people who play these classes to give their input on why you chose to play the class you did.

    Archers r fun to play with, although they lack dmg at highers lvls or require alot of skill to b good (one of those although i think u face a skilled player nd u r an archer at lvls 90+, u will need good refinement to win the battle).
    Barbarians, they r good at pk if u r a full vit like me nd fight always with perdition or if u r a dex barbarian with good refinement. Although if I had a chance to change classes I would change to wizards cuz barbs werent made for pk imo.
    Wizards would b your best choice although they r an expensive class cuz they need always good armour nd weapon refinement in almost all the lvls.

    P.S. If u dont want to pick wizards, dont pick archers cuz I know alot of ppl who regret this choice at higher lvls.

    from my experience so far ( may be limited, but..as I said, it's mine):

    - Veno -> get a Nix, endgame.
    - Barb -> get ungodly HP -> hit until zerk crit
    - Archer -> enjoy pre 90s. Cause after you get the payback.
    - Cleric -> good at every lvl. A skilled cleric can be a pain in the butt for every class. Pain to lvl until all skills ( buffs/dmg ) are maxed, because u don't have the SP to have both heals and dmg maxed for the lvl.
    - BM -> les HP than barb, more dmg than barb.
    - Wizard -> suck it up at lower lvls. Once in the 80s everything changes. The only char that you see a constant progression, becomes visibly stronger as the lvl progresses, at 90 you get really in par with every class and it looks like at 100 pretty much rules the world. Insane mdef, insane pdef (even compared to LA) and off the charts dmg.

    well, after reading the replies I got and several other threads, I believe I'm going to go with either another Barb (because I know how to play them already and love the HP, hate the damage expense though >.<) or I'm going to go with a Wizard. Yes I know the Wizards are VERY squishy at the begining, and really easy targets from 30-50's, 60's? But think things will get easier after that. Thank you guys for the replies, will see you in the game, after I decide which server lol. Will probably go to Lost City though.

    It dose depend if u plan to just play for fun or are going to endgame, ill build on Ursa’s examples and edit it so its correct for a PvP server, my experences too;

    Barbarians – become effective level 70+ with calamity axes. High HP makes them difficult to kill charmed and a Armageddon with a zerk or crit, or both kill everyone around your level range except Heavy amours.

    Venomancers – unless you plan to get a phoenix don’t bother, sawfly’s just don’t cut it later game. Venomancer with a nix rules 59+ once they get there defensive skill, real strong endgame 90+ too.

    Blademasters – most effective 64+ when Aeolian blade is maxed, stun locking can really **** over anyone, even heavy amours and Genies gave Blademasters the most boost. Dragon + Thunderstorm can kill Heavys of the same level easily and Ice Occlet works as an assist stun as well.

    Clerics – Effective from 30+ though really get the edge at 59 when they acquire tempest. Spam iron heart protects from most classes, plume shell renders melee’s useless and sleep offers the longest out of game effect in the game. Perfect for setting up high hit combos. Most effective class for fighting all 3 types of amours because of both physical and magical damage quick cast and cooldown skills

    Wizards – The endgame class, 90+ in TT gear is when they are most effective but 79+ with undie strike also is a big step. Blade tempest kills most arcane and ice dragon most Light amours and heavys. Main problem is lack of defense but like ursa said, at 90+ they usually have more defenses then if they were Light amour w/o buff. And yes 100+ wizards are the king no questions asked.

    Archers – Most effect 70+ Once they have a high enough Critical rate. Archers also do very good fighting all types of armour because of there magic damage hits, also a high spike rate helps a lot. Archers work best by Ninja hitting so the person cant respond until its too late.

    uhh.... no...
    thats like the worst advice on this thread.
    even if you have a level 2 of any class since that way you have coins to transfer to your new character which would be better then to sit on your **** for 3 months.
