I know some ppl are pissed about the rapage of the nix and i just wanna give a lil bit of advice. its not alot but just incase you havent figured this out already i might as well say it.

strategy 1. if your an archer, you know what aim low is right? yea click on the bird use it, click on the veno and own it. simple as that ^_^

strategy 2. if your a cleric (i'm not 100% sure if this is possible) and you like to sleep ppl? use your skill to stop the nix from beating you to death by reading it a bed time and let it drift on over to slumber land :)

strategy 3. its clear that a nix cant swim. so if your near a body of wayer that you can die deep into you dont even have to worry about that deadly flying piece of fried chicken. if the veno is one of those venos that rely strongly on the nix then she/he probably wont even follow you into the water :D

i hope this small guide helps some ppl that have not a clue to what to do when a nix comes at YOU.

    Good, the more the bird bleed becomes worthless the better the quality of the pvp venos we will see.

    Best way to handle it is to.. not suck.

    or you could...
    Spark, 2shot nix, watch veno QQ, while they do pathetic damage with no pet out.

    tried that and you know what happened? the nix stunned me, bleed me to death and both the nix and veno owned me. and at higher lvls unless your an archer w/ a warosul the nix wont be that easy to kill

    See first sentence.

    Even at 95 my nix gets spark 2-3shot, it really isnt as godly as QQers make it out to be.

    Anyone dumb enough to focus thier attention on nix is going to lose (especially waste sparks on nix), unless the veno is bad at pvp.

    Veno weak at PvP? That was a good joke.
    If it was not a joke you either suck either only PvP You seen was Duel on PvE sever...

    Maybe it is just me weak.I could not kill a BM/Barb at my level even they do not fight back. Me and my herc together can not deal enough damage in 10 second to take the BM/Barb down, until I used purge and amp, I am wondering how many veno have a chance to purge and amp a BM without being stunned. Archer and wizard usually 1/2 shot me of course. cleric? I can not out damage their heal. maybe it is just me sucks in PVP, since every one is saying veno is over powered in PVP.

    I haven't come face to face against a nix in a while, and when it was, it was in TW.
    I was in my heavy armour so it was just like a tickle to me but.. I did find I needed ways to overcome it when I getting nixed ganked e___e

    Well.. for a venomancer i'd imagine spark, bramble hood and the level 79 skill feral concentration can help. For all classes, I used dew of god's protection (apoth potion) which absorbs 3000 damage over 9 seconds, used this when I didnt have chi for bramble.

    Also.. HP. The more you have, the better all round no matter what you're up against. I don't think it's ever a good idea to just pimp out your sets just so you can beat one type of class, it'll always leave you more vunerable to another. HP shards, Armour refines and items with +vit and +HP. Whatever your build... always make up for what you lack O.o

    And don't blah blah to me about HP shards and armour refines being expensive either, if you want to good in PvP you're going to have to spend, and the nix venos already did.

    barbs pwn venos with nixes b:victory
    invoke the spirit reduces all damage by 90% so bleed is nothing
    i take some damage, then go into humanoid form with "full health" and a few seconds left on Invoke Spirit
    with beastial rage, you gain chi much faster
    just spark as soon as ur double spark is ready, and the Veno can say bbaii

    But you shouldnt be aiming for the pet. If you're an archer you should be able to snipe the robe veno so fast you wont even notice the bleed o.o;;

    Never attack the veno's pet, always aim for the sqiushy veno ._.

    For me its more fun to kill the phoenix first since I do it so fast, then watch the veno run like a coward.b:laugh

    Kill my pet and I'll still be all over you most likely.

    Phoenixes w/bleed do wayyy more damage than the veno themselves, and MOST venos ARE bad at pvp. It's not wasting a spark, it's an investment, it's saving your ****. Without the phoenix they wont be able to do anything to you. lol

    This is really the main reason I want bleed fixed. It will get rid of most of the trash venos that can't pvp worth ****.

    Last TW I was in, my phoenix got killed. I got on the ground, pulled out a land pet, went fox form and started debuffing/purging everyone, after a quick level 10 parasite nova to seal/freeze a ton of players at once.
