Hey guys, been away for a while as I've been finishing my degree. With it finally over I'm wanting to get back into PWI.

I usually play caster classes so was considering going with mage, how well do they fair in PvP, I understand that there not going to be able to stand there and take loads of damage but I don't want to just be a pin cushion waiting to be killed in 1 hit!
At the same time I love to be at the heart of the action and involved in PvP as often as possible b:angry no point leveling all day if I'm not going to be able to actually kill someone because I'm spending all my time on the floor//channeling spells.

    What he said.

    Considering you said you usually play caster classes, and you dont want to die extremely fast, archer might be a choice. Sure, not a caster, buut you got range and damage. Though then you are not in the heart of the action.

    I play with two friends, one who's rolled an archer and the other who's rolled a blademaster. So wouldn't want to be the same class as them b:surrender

    Well, I guess you could survive as a wizard or cleric, but you would need good gear, or atleast decent. For example, I have around 1.3k hp unbuffed at lvl 60, and I'm a LA wizard. My gear sucks, and I die really fast in PvP action. And, as a caster, you're never in the heart of the action.

    If you were to exclude BM and Archer out of the remaining classes which would you advise for a PvP style of play?

    This might be a bit biased since im a wizard, but I find wizards really fun to play. They can actually be really good in PvP too.

    To be honest , I think that most classes in game have their pros and cons.

    So actually what I can say is: Try a few different ones, but if you like casters and PvP, you should really try wizard and possibly cleric. Wizard might be a bit lame early in game though, it all depends on what you like.
