Hi everyone, I'm xfoxamancerx from the server Lost City. So as most of you probably know already (because you should!), this server is a PK server. This brought to mind a few questions, and I was seeing if anybody could maybe help me out a little bit. First off, I was wondering everyones opinion on which class they though was the best for PKing. I've heard many different things in-game, but I seek further. So, my first question to you is: What do you think the best class is for PKing with? I can't decide myself! Assassins are good at killing fast, Archers can come swooping down from the sky and hit a good critic for fast kill and the element of surprise, Blademasters are well rounded, Venomancers can have nix's which own, Barbarians hit high and don't die easy, and Clerics can heal themselves if needed. The ones I left out I don't think are too good for PKing with (though at a high lvl and fighting lower lvls I suppose...). I also wonder which of the new classes coming out (Mystics and Seekers) will be better for PKing with. Next is short, wanted ideas on good PK spots in game. West Archasour seems good, but not too many people gather there. How is near Heavens Tear? LONG time ago I remeber it being popular. Finally, I did a little fun research on highscores of Lost City server. Current highest lvl goes to: Rinc the lvl 105 Assasin (Gratz on surpassing Kitamura!). Since this thread is based on PvP, here are those highscores. Most kills out of every class goes to: Vietxtcguy, the lvl 102 Archer, with a toppling 25,024 kills, which is also the most out of EVERY SERVER!!! Next, for the Cleric class, congratulations to Elinaaa the lvl 97 with 9630 kills! Moving on to Assassin, is QuickClaw the lvl 103 with 9251! The award for Barbarians is presented to SkullCrusher, the lvl 100 with 11941 kills! For Venomancers, we have Angelz the lvl 97 with 9795 kills! Now Psychics, the only one ranked is Cacophony the lvl 101 with 3378 kills. For Wizards, give it up for Elayne the lvl 104 with 16870 kills. Last but not least, say hello to NyKage the lvl 102 with 10948 kills. Thats all for now, I hope you all enjoyed reading! Please post, and have fun in-game!

    BM, Sin or Wiz.


    And Pk is nearly dead, even in PvP servers.
    AP classes are a real butt pounding...

    Arch is talking out of his ***, he plays on Sanc so he wouldn't know anything about pk because pk really is dead on that server.

    To answer your question about pking classes (and I'm going to take it that you mean 1v1) the best classes would be:

    Assassin- far ahead of any of the competition. They were made for 1v1 pk.

    Archer- magic and physical attacks = excellent damage against any opponent. Not to mention some good kiting abilities and long range attacks, they make for a tough opponent.

    BM- stunlocking, 5aps, and versatility in defense = an excellent pking class if you can catch your opponent.

    Wizard- high damage per hit- they invented the charm bypass k0. Many fights can simply end with a sleep/ulti combo. Wizards also have the best phys defense of any caster class (which still isn't great, but it helps) and we are by faaaar the best kiting class in the game. Between gush, blink, FoW, and flying, we're a ***** to chase down.

    Psychic- endgame, this might be the best pker. With high enough refines and good enough gear, psychics can make themselves nearly untouchable, not to mention able to deal insane damage. They can't really kite very well, but then half of their skills require being hit to come into effect, so that's not necessarily a bad thing.

    Worst classes would be:

    Cleric- I don't want to hear all this hoopla about clerics being good in pk. They're decent at best. They have horrible kiting abilities and their damage isn't that magnificent. And no, healing yourself doesn't help very much because at endgame, almost every class can get past the healing, either by 1 hitting the cleric or by stun/seal locking them to the point that the heals wear off.

    Barbarian- you were wrong about them dealing high damage- in fact aside from their ultimate, their damage is arguably the worst (not counting 5aps, because 5aps barbs fail in pk). What they have going for them is insane hp and defense. Most classes wouldn't kill a charmed barb even if the barb didn't retaliate, let alone with him stunning you/chasing you around. By rule of thumb, a barb doesn't kill many people, and many people can't kill a barb.

    Venomancer- endgame, not a good pk class. I'm sorry, but they aren't in this stage of PWI. 2 years ago, veno's could rock endgame pvp with their nixes, but times have changed. Nowadays, I have no trouble killing r8 nix venos. Fact of the matter is, even at 95 I can 2-3hit a nix, and then sleep/1hit the veno. Take away the pet and venos have crappy dph (so no charm bypass) and not so great dps (so killing you before charm cooldown takes awhile).

    If anyone feels I was wrong about any of that, feel free to explain why. Just keep in mind that I'm talking about endgame PvP.

    5APS barbs aren't that bad at pk.

    I still think barbs r good. They don't die as u said, and quite honestly they can hit high, it just depend who/what they are targeting. Yea I guess venos aren't that good... It's probly just because after all, I really am not all that high of a lvl. Thanks a lot though, you summEd things up pretty well. Though I still think archers are a little better then sins if they one v one. But even that depends if there on the ground and how far the distance is between them.

    I suppose they're not horrible, but they wouldn't be rated in the same league as wizards, sins, bms, archers, or psychics.
    A 5aps barb gave up their best asset, hp, for decent damage. They deal waaay less than a 5aps bm, and can only take an extra hit or two, which isn't very good in pk...


    @fox
    No, archers don't beat sins. That goes for archers vs sins and archers vs other classes compared to sins vs other classes.

    In an archer vs sin fight, the sin would have a gross advantage. They could simply stealth gank the archer, effectively canceling out the archers best advantage (long range attack), not to mention the archer will be doing half damage since it's close range.
    Even if the archer manages to make any distance, the sin can use his tele stun to be right back on top of the archer. Both classes have horrible armor so whoever gets in the first hit would win. The sin having stealth means the sin will always win.

    Just ask any high lvl archer. 99% of the time, when being attacked by a same gear/lvled sin, the archer will admit they're going to lose, simply because they never even get a chance to fight back.
