Hey sorry if this has been covered, but I couldn't find it with the "search" tool.

How do you use a barb to defeat an assasin in pvp? they always seem to waste me in duels. I'm focused more on lower levels (as in BEFORE armageddon and other power skills that come later on).

Im standard barb build, all into vit minues gear reqs.
They seem to do too much damage, and just bleed then go invisible and wait.

that bleed hurts, even with current lvl heavy armor...

    my suggestion would be to get appothecary pots that raise your awareness (i havent confirmed but have heard from many. somebody confirm this.) then their invis doesnt work. also a nother suggestion is to use flesh ream with stacking bleed. that could hinder them in invisiblity. i dont know havent hit 30 but im offering as much help as i can

    you could always try leveling?

    you get misties at 77, they are fairly cheap on sanc now

    if you have the money you can get zerk axes

    you get prediction at 59, also if your not even 59 your Beastial Onslaught can't be very high level

    you can start sharding and refining armor later on

    bleed only gets worse and worse as you level past level 48, we don't have level 11 skills yet

    also a genie with ToP would help

    Hit them with your hardest while they set up their bleed and status on you. And hope to god you don't miss with your horrible accuracy.

    pre- bloodbath and misties...good luck, after 2X misties and blood they die pretty quickly just like archers...also put 1 point in water affinity and have ur genie learn remove bleeding >.> duh u can also have ur genie learn heal and that helps a good bit

    dunno but ive seen barbs take out half a archer/sins hp in like 3 hits they seem to be better fitted for mage killing

    Stay in tiger form, and fleshream. Fleshream never misses, and tiger form gives you the added hp/def (hopefully if you have ss intense) and the speed to chase them down everytime they pop up. Don't even bother with any other skill just use fleshream and auto attack, or run around while your bleed takes out their hp.

    Of course this is only for low lvl duels and uncharmed pvp.

    you could try mighty swing(100% accurate, and hope for stun), then beastial onslaught, if that doesnt tick charm an easy perdition so finish the job

    if the 2 after the stun connect, shouldnt be too much of a problem.

    but this is all theory, would have to test it to see and have to have 2 sparks to start.

    Mighty Swing stun+onslaught evasion reduction, then just beat the hell out of them.
