Hi, i'm Drachid/Lupumid/Glacea from sanctuary.

I'm making this thread to track the PvP tactics i come with as i level, and so you people can tell me how n00b they are. I'll be assesing the skills from where i stand now and EVERYTHING is up for discussion. I really just want to know am i thinking the right things and doing them.

I probably won't finish this before i leave school but here we go.

SKILLS

Twin Strike:
I realised when i first started this skill is probably useless, as with the first skill of all other melee classes. I left it at 1.

Puncture Wound:
I <3 this skill. The bleed damage is like me attacking twice as fast and i like using it on running mobs, so they die while running :D. I keep this maxed

Raving Strike (think thats the name):
Not much damage and i was told by a higher leveled sin not to bother with it, i can see why. I kept it at 1.

Slipstream Strike:
Does great damage, I normally use it after puncture wound, I look forward to leveling this :D

Wolf Emblem:
Increased crit strike damage NOT crit strike rate, not sure about everyone else but I don’t level this

Focused Mind:
I level this just for PvP, makes barbs cry waiting for a hit. I level it occasionally

Shadow Walk:
I love this skill, I use it in every duel because its so much fun. I level it because of the tactics it creates for PvP, also useful in BH51 (rankar seeker)

Deep Sting:
I use this to cancel poison and spells, what some people don’t know is if you deep sting a running mob, it won’t run. Which I enjoy very much as that little bit of damage saved is money saved on pots for me, I kept it at level 1 however because I only use it for sleep(85% is really good imo)

Knife Throw:
Useful for canceling long distance channel, but otherwise I rather the bow I have. I kept at level 1.

Windpush:
I like the speed every now and then, and useful for catching those tricky kiters. I level it.

Shadow Escape:
Great for when getting mobbed :D

I’ll add more as I get experienced with them

MY PvP TATICS:

Barbs:
Shadow walk > deep sting > focused mind > puncture wound and slipstream until dead
Focused mind is a barbs enemy, because having a level 7X barb, I know accuracy is our biggest problem (along with dps)

Clerics:
Shadow walk > deep sting > puncture wound > slipstream > if not, dead windpush if kiting and continue slipstream and puncture
Puncture offsets there healing very well

Wizzys:
Same as cleric

BMs:
same as barb except much harder as they have more accuracy

this is a work in progress, so more will be added as I level and it will get more complex. I know lower levels are easy but this is just the start

    In all fairness, you probably wont be able to kill a barb, and definitely not with this combo. Also, why use focused mind in the middle of your attacks? It's a buff you use before the fight.

    And if you're going to use puncture wound, you generally use it BEFORE deep sting. That way they take bleed damage for 5-6 seconds without being able to attack while you proc genie skills/spark
