Poor PVP Preformance?

Hello all ^^

Okay, so I am a lvl 36 BM (contrary to the display pic ^_^) and I am on a PVP server, but am not too devoted to PK yet.
However, when I did PK, I was faced with a charmed opponent, not that I am arguing how charms sometimes make PVP retarted, but taht is not the point.

The opponent I was up against was rougly the same level, a archer. I stunned him, bludgeoned him with skills, and understandably, his HP recovered to max, I continued doing this about 20 more times, and pretty much it was a stalemate, the fight was going nowhere. Question is, how the heck do I PK an opponent with a charm (roughly same level)? I can't do enough damage in PVP (in 10 seconds) to kill an opponent before his charm kicks in.
I read in the BM guide (axe) that stunlocking can be up to 15 seconds. but for example, I stunlock, do some damage, and then the oppnent regains HP to full, and I just continue to attack, and then I have another 10 seconds to do the exact same ammount of damage, it just seems like a zero-sum battle.

And furthermore, waht if 2 charmed tanks are fighting (again, same level), Really high armor, and noone can do damage equal to the other's HP in 10 seconds.... What do they do then?

Basically I am confused on how to fight PVP with charms, The goal is simple, kill the opponent withing 10 seconds (before his charm kicks in), but it's hard to execute.... What do I do? Just hitting eachother non stop for 20 minutes becomes pretty agrivating, and a waste of a charm, not to mention if your opponent is a moron and just keeps spitting out profanities at you while you fight....

Thanks for any sugestion

    Probably has something to do with your level, your gear, and your skills.

    Stop and walk away.....

    Either that or continue to waste his charm...

    But I agree with Voices. Wait until you get a little bigger or get some upgraded skills.

    Okay, I was thinking about that, but then it still is a zero sum game.
    For example, If I am level 30, and Pking a level 30 opponent, and you say to gain some level, sure, it would work well if I was level 60 and pking a level 30 opponent, but waht if my opponent was also level 60? The level difference again, is 0. and then the problem I ran into at level 30 is presisting me at level 60......

    After thinking about ti further, I guess that problem will allways happen, and it's unavoidable.

    I know enough about Blademaster PK that some consider BM vs BM/Barb to be futile when charms are involved.

    For light users, I know almost nothing. For robe...well, I get crushed by warriors all the time.

    The problem is that you're looking at it from the perspective of 1v1, when most of my experience in PvP has been group oriented. BM does exceptionally well in groups, which is why my first suggestion was going to be bring a wizard or a cleric along with you. However a partner is not always available.

    Crits and Berserk/Gloom hits combined with 59 doom skills constitute much of the spike damage that BladeMasters do in the high levels, which is why my next recommendation is to level and see. As for further experience with archers and LA, consult an experienced BM.

    I dunno about your problem, but I'm pretty disappointed the archer couldn't take you out.

    Edit: Not that I don't like you/want you to die, just that I'm sad for that archer.

    Also you have to consider a few things, At Level 30. Most people have similar gear (3* stuff from Rep, and rest garbage)

    40 > 50 > 60 > 70 >+ Everyones going to be different geared, have different skills leveled and play differently (Also some people make Vit Builds other Dex Or Str / combination of those)

    Warriors do alright in Pvp, The best way to describe a warrior is crowd control.

    Warriors don't get great till later on anyways. Like most classes.

    Okay, thank you!
    Just a clarification on some things, what are the '59 doom skills' that Voices mentioned? I understand that there are the 'final skills you get' at 59 (not including the 100 or 99 skill), but are the 'doom skills' just another term for that?
    And also, My build is turning out fantastic for PVP, I am going DEX build with a VIT cap, and I read that DEX buids are powerhouses when it comes to PVP, especialy at the higher levels, so now all I do is have just enough STR for my gear, and the rest I put to DEX, so I have 5% crit rate, and crit very often now. I think this will be a great build. and lastly, I think that 'oceans edge' is a great skill, contrary to the stickies.

    Than you for your suggestions ^.^

    Oops, I was referring to the final skills, yes.

    Oceans edge is alright for an additive skill, and attacking one monster at a time, mainly mobs that kite. Other than that its uses are limited, especially in AoE.
