Any good pvp guides for barb?
Well, I made a good o' barb on Raging Tide server nearly a month or two ago. Now it's level 63, and I just wanted to see if there were any decent pvp guides for the barb class (against every other class if possible)
I just want to get the hang of pvp (dueling/pk) on my lil o' barb b:cute
If there is one already made, slap me with the noob slam and post the link in your post lol b:bye

Ummm well let's see.
No matter what, in every fight use Bestial Rage to your advantage. A little never hurt and if under half health the magic barrier is awesome too. Devour/Penetrate are good for adding some damage.
Clerics: Main thing is to watch for their sleep, and stop them from healing. Mighty Swing works best cause of the stun. Alacrity works nice on all casters to stop kiting/cancel a spell.
Wizard: Easy to cancel these guys and really tick them off. Try and stun them as much as you can. Bestial Onslaught is good when they start kiting. When they distance shrink pop into tiger and chase them, use Alacrity and hope for a stun. Bestial Rage when you get to half health for that little bit of magic buffer.
Venomancer: Well The pet is the issue cause the Venos a piece-a-cake. If they have a nix watch for it's bleed, and when it happens use Invoke The Spirit. Not too hard, if the pet is phys. damage it's really a non-factor in tiger form.
Psychic: WATCH FOR SOUL BURN, it's a Psychics most overused and annoying skill. I would know, when i was a Psychic I'd use it the second i saw an opening. Just be careful, and if you are there not much different from a wizard. They do have 2 stuns, one immobilizes and the other is just a stun. Use Flesh Ream a lot, stack some bleed on them. Voodoo is really annoying, but it also hurts them too. Affecting their damage and overall squishiness.
Archers: They like to use those metal spells on ya, kite and Aim Low, Stunning Arrow to slow you down. I suggest blood bath on these guys since they have high evasion. Just keep pace with them.
BMs: BMs will be your longest fights. At your level a good BM should be stun locking. It's annoying, and it's unavoidable until 79, unless you stun them first. There's really no good way to combat them. Keep Poison Fang up to add that extra elemental damage. Also throw a fire storm in there when you feel like it. Stun, stun, stun your heart away and keep on Armor Penetrating/Devouring. Depending on the BM i would suggest Blood bath again.
Sins: Invisible fish likes to go invisible. When they come out of stealth i promise you will be stunned. So wait for it to wear off, and try and stun them. Deaden Nerves is really annoying. Once you get these guys stunned, and your accuracy is good (Blood Bath) their really not hard at all.
Barb: Why? Leave them alone.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Here is a guide i put up on my guilds forum.. If u read both mine and Lupumid's, you should do pretty well. He made some points that i didn't really think to say. I'll prolly end up editing mine to add some points. (hope u don't mind Lupumid)
As Lupumid said, Beastial Rage is always a good thing to have on for the chi gain and Magic shield. Blood bath is good for high dex chars and Poison Fang is a good one for other HA chars.
Clerics my lvl or lower usually get ***** unless they can sleep me first. I would suggest you try to stun them first, becuase if they seal you or stack Iron Heart then it will be difficult to kill them quickly. A good thing to use is True Emptiness (genie skill that deals loads of damage to AA classes), especially in the air seeing how it does 3x the damage in the air.
Sins get ***** unless they get the first hit and keep me stunned. Try to get the first hit off with Mighty Swing and hope you stun them. Mighty swing is your friend when fighting high dex classes. 100% accuracy come in real handy. Another skill to spam while Mighty Swing is in cool down is Bestial Onslaught, it loweres their evasion. If one of those sneaky sins try to go stealth on you and you are 79+, use your Untamed Wrath skill on something nearby. It will unstealth them if they are within range. <<very useful.
BMs are a tough one though, they have a good amount of phys. defense and deal a good bit of damage also. They love to keep me stun locked. So a fight between a bm and a barb is 50/50, just depends on skill. If you are 79+ try to use Violent Triumph. It will make you immune to their stuns for 10 seconds, but has a 60 second cooldown. So use it wisely.
Wizzies are usually another one of those harder classes to kill for barbs. If I am close to them, they get *****. If i'm at any distance, I have one hell of a hard time getting to them (due to their slow, stun, freeze skills). This is another time when you would use Violent Triumph to get close to them. If i do reach them, they die quickly.
Psychics get ***** very quickly no matter what. I just use Absolute Domain (genie skill making me immune to damage for 3 secs) and Beastial Rage and kill them. They deal a great deal of damage, but are very squishy.
Venos have gotten a little harder to kill. Most have learned to use Bramble Guard and pull out their nix and just keep running, letting their nix bleed me to death. Their bramble guard lets me kill myself while i'm hitting them. Best thing to do is use True Empitness again and try to one shot them. If you are unable to do so, then use Untamed Wrath to stun them and their pet. It doesn't last but 1 second, but that will interupt everything they are doing. Making the Veno easy target for quick attacks and stops their nix from bleeding you. Until they recover that is.
Archers are another wierd class to fight. They love to stun/freeze me then run away and attack me more. I try to run the opposite way so they have to run towards me, then flip a 180 and charge them and turn on Untamed Wrath so I can get close enough to kill em. Try to stun/freeze them and kill them in 3-5 hits (assuming no charm. Will take more if they have a charm).
Barbs are pretty much the same as Bms. Just gotta fight it out, use good choices with skills/buffs (i.e. blood bath). Barb vs. Barb= lots of charm ticks and a long fight. Not a lot of advice to give on this one. Just keep pounding until you kill them.
Most of this guide I am assuming no charm. If they have a charm, use the same general technique, just try to use regular or low skills until their charm ticks then pull out your big guns.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

b:chuckle @ the last one.
But yeah, seems like I was doing all of the above to most classes (and I don't know why but venos seem almost too easy unless they have garnet shards all across the globe in their gear o.0 and maybe that chubby yellow blob too lmao)
Very helpful, thanks b:victory0 -
Veno's are tricky. AA venos are usually pretty easy using the methods above, but HA venos are tricky. Especially if the veno has a nix, like Lupumid said. The nix's bleed hurts A LOT, and if the veno is kiting, it just makes things difficult. I've never really had a problem with one using herc tho. Just ignore him.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
