    Well end-game, rumor has it that heavy armored venomancers with the legendary pet nix are virtually unbeatable at PVP. Sadly, you shouldn't even consider that build till like lvl 70+. For now, if you're just beginning, you should go full arcane or LA (if you want a bit of physical def) and restat later. Since a heavy armored build can seriously gimp your levelling.

    Hope that helps some!

    In 1v1 we're devastatingly hard to kill. Melee classes need triple spark + some form of amp to kill me, Armageddon just tickles unless it's a zerk-crit. In the time some idiot archer realizes to start using metal skills on me, he's dead. In the matter of arcane, I just send QQbird after them and they run for the hills. It's a matter of 'who sees who first' mostly, but I consider my HA veno somewhat hard to kill in 1v1.
    (and yes i know that if i pvp with robe and have no defense ill die in a second but think if i have a pet to act as a substitute for me theyll focuz on the pet not me)

    Unless your pet is a phoenix you will find that people will ignore the pet and go straight for you, sadly.

    They focus on you because pet disappears when you die. Robes have plenty of mag defense, allowing you to boost phys def to balance with cheaper garnets and equips.

    You will want a little bit of vit just so you don't want to get totally oneshot.

    Redundant, but shard your armor with pdef (garnets).

    At the expense of MP recov, MP, Matk, Pet Healing, HP recov, and mDef: Nty! The right combination of perfect garnets, and equips will balance your pdef and mdef leaving you with refines for HP.

    I have phy def, I have hp, but its not always enough vs archers.b:chuckle Check sig.

    I have 130 vit with my gear giving me over 5100 hp. Most of the time that's more than enough to make you hard to kill. A lot of phy def helps but if they hit too hard you'll still die in 1 hit due to low hp.

    Vit is up to you on how much you use. For shards I use a combo of garnets and citrines.

    I really recommend either going full mag (1 str 9 mag every 2 levels) or vit-mag (1 str 3 vit 6 mag every 2 levels). Splitting the middle will mean you suck at both. In fact I really recommend pure mag over vit-mag.

    Then again, I'm just a carebear so you shouldn't pay attention to me anyway. b:chuckle

    Agreed (to the previous page). A Vit/Mag build is used by the top PvP Venos that I know (on HT only). My build is also this way and it takes nothing less than a sneak attack or a two squad ganking me to bring me down. You're magic won't suffer too much from 100+ Vit if you refine and shard your gear and weapons.

    Vit for hp provides def/hp recov also. Citrines don't provide def, and aren't ramped up by using Fox Form like garnets are. Garnets are also significantly cheaper. The single problem with pure mag / garnets is dealing with the idiots that think you can't survive something because your HP is low.
