    The skill, level and equipment of the other player is more important (especially at lower levels) than class.

    For example I can almost always take down any un-HP charmed char of any class 10-20+ levels above me when I have a HP charm.

    So don't worry about class, worry about high levels and PK as much as you can with different players to gain experience.

    Not true. Experienced Pvp players usually go directly for the player and ignore the pet. Unless you have a Nix.

    Get good armor, HP shards and an HP charm and you will be hard to kill.

    So it is not true that venos are squishy?
    I mean even the hybrid heavy venos are squishy because they have low hp so if someone hits them when they arent suspecting they would probly die.
    And if u dont have a nix and a pet like a magmite or something a mage or archer could probly take that thing out pretty fast than just kill u because now ur damage fails compared to theirs.
    My point is be careful or everything because anyone of the other classes can kill you so don't just be like ohhh its a bm so i should just look the other direction. (especially since your squishy) and no venos are not hard to kill Viper

    LOL, squishy is relative. My LC Veno is all Arcane but I have put a ton of points in Vit and have HP (citrine) shards in every available slot. I checked with some of my friends higher level other class chars, and I have more HP than they do. Together with my HP charm I am hard to kill. I can almost always survive the 1st hit which gives me time to fly/run if I know they are just to high, or to get prepared to fight if I think I have a chance.

    Only Barbs and BMs tend to be naturally non-squishy but since they aren't ranged classes, Venos have a big advantage if you keep your distance.

    Archers are squishy, if they are dumb enough to attack my pet first they are history. If they attack me directly and get a Crit then I may die.

    Mages are squishy, but since I am Arcane I have good magic defense.

    Clerics can be a problem depending on skill, level and build.

    Clerics might one of the scariest classes you will face since they have a skill that freezes you or your pet. If they don't attack you, this skill will last a very long time. (Commonly referred to as "sleep.") On top of that, you have them self healing. Their buffs and sparks can be purged if you time it right.

    BM... KITE THEM. You don't want them getting too close. They will eat you alive with stun skills and rip you to shreds in a matter of seconds. (No skills work when you're stunned, including Soul Transfusion.)

    Barbs, avoid them if you can because they have massive HP and the only way to take them down is to out damage them and their charm's cooldown after it ticks.

    Try to get as close as you can to archers. Kiting them only increases their damage as they have an extremely long range. They are also pretty decent on defenses, so you might want to amp to get them down faster. Getting a stun on them will also improve your chances.

    For Wizards you want to get in close with melee or stun them and Nuke as hard as you can. Some Wizzies are LA build which will give them better defenses. Your pet might be better help you here. Most Wizards are low on the HP side.

    Your most challenging opponent... the veno. They know you and how you play. They are the expert of the veno style. You will want to purge buffs if they have them and most especially after a spark. If you have Bramble Hood, don't put it on too soon, they will just purge that from you too. Your best bet is to land a stun on them and take them down as fast as you can.


    PvP Pets:
    Kowlin - I believe this to be your best Land PvP pet because it comes with L4 Bleed and two debuff skills.

    Nix - this one wins best all around. There are threads about the nix and PvP I think.

    I don't know of a water pet for PvP since I don't keep one. =3 Hope this helps a little. I'm not a PvP/PK expert.

    Even if u have alot of hp and dont die on the 1st hit u will die -__-
    I mean do u deny ur squishy?
    And yes archers and alot of other classes are squishy too and that doesnt prove a thing LOL.
    What i was saying was that if you are squishy u are more vunerable to sneak attacks so just watch out. Its better to be safe than srry...
