    If you want to be a good PvP'er.....Nix is a Must Have!

    Also Wiz's are easy, some I dont even need a pet ;p

    For Instance PvP(Secret Passage for example)
    Id say hercules is good for.
    1. People shall not be able to kill the pet easily
    2. High damage with Flesh Ream

    (Nix / Herc must have Flesh Ream! That is the PvPness about it! Flesh Ream! Kills ppl o.o :P)

    Nix vs sawfly is no competition. Even without the "bugged" flesh ream, nix will destroy and outtank the sawfly by miles. So yea, nix is great for pvp, now if you decide to get flesh ream or not, thats up to you.

    Nixes in pvp is easy mode. You wont have much trouble vs wizards but barbs will still stand a fighting chance.

    The red name nix venos i see tend to just stay on their aerogear and send out their pet to nuke opponents-- if that won't bore you to death after a week, go for it. Nixless venos require a lot more skill to survive vs other classes, but it probably is more fun. My advice would be, go nixless for now and hone your skills, then invest in your nix later on (~7xs or so) to stay competitive.

    I dont even use my nix in TW anymore, its level 6x and gets 1 shot by some players. Pain in the **** to revive and it only does 150dmg bleed to some players. My magic does 1-3k damage depending on target easily outdamages my nix.

    do u always buff ur nix?
    bleed keep making dmg,with his attack speed and phys.attack buff no way u make only 150 dmg.and revive takes same for all pets.

    for negase,nix getting more dmg with each lvl..
    just probably players using better gear and have better defense.
    mages are great after lvl90,maybe even after 100 how much i read in some posts..
    they got great dmg but veno with nix can take them still,if u attack them 1st and they dont have time to spark..lol
    unless they got really high hp which is rare for mages,only if they really pimped out theirs gear

    hello all, my question to you is the following. is getting a phoenix really worth it?
    i joined the pvp server obviously to pvp but i plan to make it to high lvls and i dont want to pay a lot of money to be beaten by barbs and mages later on.

    lvl 100 barbs and wizards are extremely OP and will most likely beat you anyway.

    Lvl 100 wiz using undine strike + amp+ lvl 11 ulti is a 100% 1 shoot on anyone but a barb pretty much.

    Lvl 100 barb using ToP + amp + Armageddon will 1 shoot you to even if you're in heavy.

    So doesn't matter if you have a nix to be honest. Doesn't matter if you're in arcane, heavy, light armor, builds doesn't matter either - unless you have 20k hp to tank the most OP classes ultis b:shocked

    But nix is still important for pvp, specially during lvl 80-90. Its not so much for the pecks ( they really don't do much dmg unless armor break 100% procs) but for the range stun and bleed. And there is other classes than wizards and barbs endgame you know and nix is the best pet you can ever get for pvp. Its also pretty OP at lvl 80-90 when ppl have shietty phy def. Nixbleed **** pretty much any LA + arcane user up to lvl 95+

    Just sad that so many veno's think that just because you have a nix it means your a good PKer....

    Learn to fight without your damn nix instead of running away when it dies....

    LOL Sadpuma.. You know that almost every veno runs when nix dies and they get a barb, BM after their ****. I see you as well run when nix is dead. Its our main force to kill squishies fast. But against barb/BM etc it wont do a lot of damage, so you gotta be good in PvP without a nix too, but the nix might be the little extra that gives you the kill before the charm tick.
    When the BM comes up front and stunlock you dont have a lot of choice then to drop unless you got uber gear or heavy armor.

    Nix = **** clerics, wiz - because they can handle your magic attacks. Magic attacks will do more damage on Heavy Armors. Im no PvP expert and I love fighting without nix, but when its war and you might get several hardcore players after you, id rather PK with the nix then without because it gives the little extra advantage if you got **** magic attack. b:victory

    Only a fool trust his life to a weapon (I think that is from Mortal Kombat). So learn how to use your skill without the nix, its without the nix your true skills show. b:cute

    A veno without a pet is like a BM without stuns, a barb without huge amount of hp, a cleric without heals, a archer without crits and a wizard without *drum rolls* Water buff!!!

    btw puma, dont keel me for what I said.

    A veno without a pet is like a BM without stuns

    I only run when i am getting ganked by multiple people, period. I dont run if i am faced with only one person attacking me. I dont care if the nix dies, the fools that take their time taking out my nix instead of me is time that I will spend killing them. I very rarely even use the nix in 1v1's...

    1v1 with veno's is different. Especially cause nearly all veno's will NOT 1v1 without their nix :-/.


    For those that really feel that you are as handicapped as a BM without stuns when you dont have a pet out, i feel sorry for you.

    As veno's we have a HUGE number of different ways to attack and kill every class without a pet. Yes, having a pet is nice, but its a luxury. Yes, we are the weakest magic attack class there is and thats why we have pets.

    I wont deny that having a nix out is very nice and makes killing soo much easier. But lets face it, Flesh ream is bugged and everyone in pk mode only uses a pet with that skill and nothing else...

    If you notice, this debate isnt about using a pet so much as it is using a nix.


    To all veno's, step out of that mold that the server has made for you. Stop being that OP veno, and try something new, try to rely on your skill and a pet that is not bugged. And for heavens sake... stop freaking running......

    I do not see your point.
    Having a nix is good yes :D
    But why shouldnt we use it. I mean its not like a person with a warsoul wepon isnt going to use it and stick to a weaker wepon.
    As for the running part i think after ur nix dies and u still think u have a chance u should try but if u KNOW u are gona lose than high tail it.
    Better to retreat from a losing battle than to lose the battle.

    Nix is always worth it.
    In fact, even outside PvP its pretty amazing for solo grinding on air mobs.
    Fast and high damage, fast movement... pretty much high everything.
    I love my nix a lot, and I would recommend it easily for PvP; arcane armour is a little bit of a joke against nix, and with a combo of magic and nix you make your life a lot easier killing heavy and light armour.
    Of course this is just my opinion.
    But read all the nix QQ threads on this forum and I think you'll find it hard to not agree that nix is amazing.

    For those that really feel that you are as handicapped as a BM without stuns when you dont have a pet out, i feel sorry for you.


    Its not what I mean.. What i mean that each class got their own skill and possibilites. A BM can **** a veno without stunning just by attacking. Most Arcane venos have like 0 phys def and 3-4k hp. Thats just a few hits and dead. But Venos can use pets, BMs can use stuns (and they surely do), Clerics can heal etc. Its a part of who we are. Ofc I can kill a lot without the phoenix, but with my regular attacks as a vit based veno I dont die easily, but I also do less damage then magic arc - venos that die easily but also do more damage. For me its hard to just use my attacks to drop someone with a lot of hp when charm ticks before I get to drop them, or a cleric would heal themselves, making it impossible to take down, BM would stun you so you cant attack untill charm ticks, Barbarians would Armageddon my **** in one shot, Archers would crit like a crazy **** and they shoot arrows fast compared to our channeling attack etc.

    I fought against _Curse a long time without phoenix, but I could not drop him at all with my attacks unless I get spark eruption and crit him. Im just saying that each class have their skills and stuff they can do that other classes cant, so why not take advantage of that? But yes, the flesh ream bug is a little OP, if not the phoenix wouldnt be much of a threat other then that it attacks fast but dont deal a lot of damage compared to what they do PvE.

    I see alot ppl think nix make you pro..but thats not realy true..pking need skills and who to use them.

    Remeber that weaker pets have skills that nix don't have. get a sawfly/skatefiish with lvl 5 bleed ..work good and save alot time and get more pro on how to use ur skills.(learn good ways to how to pk)

    <_< i duel lvl 99 veno without wep/gear and anything i got her vit down to 40% by just use my sawfly and 2 skills.

    i duel a lvl 80 veno when i was 70..she had nix..lol imake her to duel without pets..she tried win angst meh in foxfrom..she did even know who to use KILLS LOOL.

    she got my vit down to 40% o.o i took 30% of her hp in 1 hit. "so wow that can we call pro uh"

    lol nix without flash ream do nothing. as long as ya got a pet who have good dg.. and put flash ream on it..it work good"

    are u saying that cuz u dont have one or cuz u really mean it?
    so if u duel one or two bad venos,that means all venos with nix are bad?
    that just mean u dueled with not so skilled venos,but that dont have nothing with nix or any other pet.alot of venos played long without nix,and got it on high lvl,pretty sure u would get owned by them in duel regardless of them having nix or not.
    i hope u do realize alot of those venos with nix,barerly even played this class.
    they played some other class,got tired of nixes,so they reroll,maybe even oracle up,spend 200$ to get nix and expected they will own all.on higher lvl,when people have good gear and weapons,they can easily survive bleed and kill veno,or get rid of nix 1st.
    but that doesnt mean nix isnt best pvp pet and nothing u say will change that (pretty sure ur the veno who make topic how sawfly is good same as nix).
    no1 said venos without legendary pets are less good then those who have it,but u just cant compare something of 200$ or in-game 50-70mil with a free pet,they are not same nor will ever be.wouldnt even be fair that they are,if u payed something so much it better be good.when u show me sawfly handling 3-4 higher lvl mobs in same time,then we can compare it with nix.
    like some ppl pointed out,besides pvp with nix grinding is easy too,much faster then with any other pet.
    ur right about one thing,nix dont make u good veno,takes skills too (maybe not on lower lvls as much since ppl dont have much hp then),plus theres alot of venos who knows just how to press bleed,but having nix makes pvp and grinding much easier.
