Ok....

I need help on PvP.

How can I pvp?
I have sawfly (no nix for now) and Im not willing to use Flesh Ream.
Clerics... I can send pet and kite, not using bleed, just normal attack (bash too) and when half hp can strike with Ironwood Scarab
Archers: how can I avoid being stunned?! I almost die instantly to them.
BM: almost the same, stun and Im dead
WB: So many Hp! How?
Wizards: I guess same as clerics?

I need help on avoiding stuns. On Light and Heavy users Im using elemental sawfly skills, like Toxic Poison, since these builds are supposed to have less magic defense. Is that really a good solution?
Is there any type of elemental skill I should lvl in particular? Many chars have high metal resistance due to clerics spells and archers too.
Wood Id guess for protecting from venos spells.

Any particular combos or suggestion? Thx!

    Its not gimping yourself. It's the opposite, it's called learning how to pvp properly.

    It's called not playing your character to it's current potential.
    It'd be like a mage not using chi.

    I think that comparison is a bit of a stretch....

    And I dont think she was doing it to learn properly, as she is hiding behind her pet for the classes she feels uncomfortable with (something I dont understand).

    Your pet is a huge addition to your arsenal. If you cant take a few hits then you are NOT ready for PvP. Dont send your pet and run away...

    Some skills to use in situations include (credit goes to Obsessed for this list, copied and pasted from another post)

    Purge if target is heavily buffed, specially barb hp buff
    Potentially amp if you have time
    Call opponent noob
    Spam leach in foxform to stay alive longer
    Ironwood to do more pet damage
    Stun.. to stun
    Stunning blow in foxform to run away from melee, or stop people trying to kite you
    Run to safezone and QQ
    Spark --> nuke
    Bramble to defend from spark or to just defend in general
    Use potions and defense orbs
    Tbag corpse, just to show off
    Soul trans when hp is low and charm's on cooldown

    To learn how to really PvP as a veno, you need to stand toe to toe with all classes and die a few times. You will learn very quickly what to do and not to do for each class to stay alive and take them out.

    Well, thx for suggestion.
    I dont think running is bad strategy, actually the idea is to stay alive and if I can avoid getting hit, better.
    I know this is not possible in TW, thats why I need suggestion mostly for that.
    I cant fight bm or barbs I just die, thats why I run.
    Im not sure on how to take down archers, they generally kill me first.

    But Ill try all of your suggestion!

    I know im not limited, thats why im askin.
    I kwno lot of ppl here have a lot of exp in pvp, and besides my own learning listening to elders is always good xD
    Purge? never thought about it before, just learn something.
    Ive recently got some forform skill and I got a question.
    Fighting archer its better to get close to them, rite?

    YES!! always get close to archers

    In addition, Purge works at purging people's spark. You just need to time it after the spark has erupted or it could be resisted.

    P.S. The limited thing was directed at Ban_Me

    It purges spark too? WOW, thats great!!
    My main point in killing archers is... i dont do enough damage to them. If i get close to them is better to do it in foxform or human? Bcs in fox I dont really have many attacks, and they are mainly phy, thus I wont do enough dmg.

    watch out for that spark resist, it got me once T.T
    when i say limited, i mean as of pdef, srry didnt make that clear
    arcanes r squishy
    also if u spend spirit in mage skill, ur fox skill wont be that good either
    i perfer fox skill for wb cuz its funny to c them miss a lot, and when u r light, its funnier cuz u have higher eva
    also leech is rlly good at keeping u alive
    the best would be for venos to shift in and out of fox form
