I have a 35 dirge, all masters, all MC armor and jewelry. Maxed out AA, down dont kill the messenger, and Int. Just no adornments. My pvp record is 275 kills 100 deaths. But recently I've been trying to solo ppl, and I cant kill them.

Today I got killed by a 27 brigand, a 30 wizard, and another 30 brigand.
Coercer's are terrible as well, they mezz for like 20 seconds then kill u in one hit.

Although I did win a fight against a 36 some kind of fighter class, and against a 31 wizard.


Are we just not designed to fight 1v1?

Some things I noticed is it takes me longer to cast my abilities, especially my debuffs. The brigs have me stunned most of the fight. This wizards just root me and then take me out in 1 or two spells.

What am I doing wrong?

Kin Meds tbh

I always hunt, especially while levelling, and personally think that 1 v 1s are PvE-server-gay-duelling. Pretty sure those that do indulge in 1 v 1s will tell you to use pots, potions etc to avoid the stuns and such, but while levelling I didn't bother and didn't have much trouble with most classes, although I did level occasionally as troob (because you could charm mobs to kill greys (see my sig)).

Kite is the best advice I can give. And spec for shield bash for an extra stun.

I mean as far as fighting strategies,

casting debuffs doesn't work, because by the time i get 2 debuffs off, i'm either mezzed, stunned or rooted. Then I get half my life taken out in 1 hit.

There literally is no fighting a coercer, a level 30 mezzes me, then kills me.

I fought a SK and I couldn't use any of my abilities the whole fight.

it's more easy when you got cob, take care of casting class is so easy with the interupt !

I came up w/ a new strategy for the casters. I just root them, then run behind a tree. Then I pop out and cast my ranged songs and pop back in. This way they can't sight their target. Then if they run up to me to cast, u can just run circles around the tree while doing melee, they still wont be able to cast on u. And if they try to back up and cast, just go back to popping back in and out while casting ranged songs.

lol nice one

although casters with brains would move far enough to not be effected so that you really wanna come out for some boogying

in t8, get items that proc stuns and shizzle, always best for PvP. I use stun gear on jailor and it works a wonder! too bad it became useless clutter aventually and i sold it all :/

I'm 38 and now and I kited someone yesterday in Feerott. Some kind of melee class, at first I was doing melee but my health was going down fast, so I took off running and switched to auto ranged attack, and kept shooting my songs. He died in about 5 seconds of running.
