    once and for all (for PvP, of course).

    Every once in a while we get the demons' blessing to pull off major upsets against those we would be considered facerolls at end-game. Numbers would say that I don't stand a chance against a Rank 8 with event gear, +8 refines (to my +5/6), and a +10 demonhunter bow (to my +10 cv bow).

    Roughly ~10.1k versus my ~6.9k hp, full chi, equal EP buffs, heads up 1v1 in real-world PvP. I caught on to a lucky streak and was able to pull a 7-crit combo to win, 10 crits altogether if you count damage-inducing attacks (and not resists).

    Transcend vs Rank 8

    In this fight I HEAVILY relied on my sharptooth/stun crit buffs with quickshot, used winged shell and wings of grace to reduce damage, and kited at the edge of range. We're both demon, making this win even more epic for me :) I know this won't happen ALL the time, but it does give me, and hopefully others more insight on future match ups b:pleased

    Transcend, that was a great vid, and congrats for the wins.
    However, that vid is more a lesson on how to kite than on how to fight. Don't get me wrong, you won, but you did it after a CV bow debuff (And THAT is something in my book makes CV bow better than Rank8) and a series of lucky, very lucky crits that happened at the right time.
    In PvP that CV bow debuff is absolutely insane, there is just no way to survive it as a LA/AA and very little HA. Maybe a barb can pull it off, but metal debuff+metal skill right after CV bow purge will handle him.

    Rebuffing (perhaps using a Sutra Power Orb) will usually give you some time, and kiting can also help.

    One shotting the archer works.
