PvP & TW

I have been asked many times about PvP. First off Player Versus Player or People Kill (PK) is just that. I usually don't suggest PvPing on PWI. I myself only PvP on the many Private Servers of PW. Now First off these Private Servers are not any part of PWI. The ones that own and run the Pservers was able to access the older files from when PWI was just out of Beta, as far as I do know. Plus on the Pservers money really isn't an object, and you level much faster then PWI. Quest isn't needed to lvl.

The Reason I don't PvP on PWI is the pure fact we all work hard and long for the items we do have and Guardian Scrolls can be expensive as well as the Charms.

On the other hand Territory Wars is Pking but much better lol. During TW (Territory Wars) you will be fighting another faction for a section of the map. In TW you have to be able to Take out the other factions Crystal. Once the Crystal is dead TW is over. Plain and simple Right?? ................. Wrong. In the process of getting to the other factions Crystal you will have to fight other players. Each time you die you will go back to your side Starting point ( can't remember what it's called for sure).

Best Lines of Defense for each class:

Facing Archer: Get up close to them. Stun so they can't run. Archers damage is maxed at distances, so closer you are the less damage they do.

Facing a Barbarian: Stun them often to run fast lol. They are a close combat class. Moving from them would be your only way to defend yourself. Besides it makes them mad and they leave ya alone. Best thing is don't give them time to use Armageddon. It hurts badly.

Facing Venomancer: Depending on the pet they use and how they are built they can be painful. Most times it's easy to stun and run if all else fails. Just remember they're range magic and if they have a Pheonix it moves fast. If they're pure magic build then hit with melee or physical attacks. But if they're Heavy build they're magic defences are less, and Physical Defences are higher. So magic is best. Plus Barbarian Vs Venomancer is well Barbarian usually wins ( most the time).

Facing BladeMaster: Well BladeMasters are a pain in the neck to battle. The BM has many stunning attacks + AOE's. In my honest opinion stun them before they stun you.

Facing Wizard: Well only time I have even fought a Wiz I lost. They are Magic and usually hit hard and pretty fast. So I am not really sure what to do other then stand there and die like a man. lol

Facing Cleric: Cleric's are fast self healers, so stun and physical attack is best I would think. As long as they are unable to heal themselves you should be fine.

Psyics and Assassins: Not much I can say for them Never faced one in PK. Also still learning about their skills. Sorry


Well that is about all I could say for now on this subject. Please feel free to discuss this further. All Opinions are well welcome and needed for each of us to be able to battle each other more effectly.

strategy suggestion for wizard:
get up close and hit them with physical attacks. they have low phys def and i think if you are close enough they cant cast spells at you. so get close, stun so they cant run, and use phys attacks

strategy suggestion for psychics:
same as wiz except i think they can still cast close range and their cast time is faster

strategy suggestion for sins:
they have medium phys and mag def and they do lots of damage without phys def. if you have good phys def, then just attack them you dont have much to worry about they wont do much damage. if you have low phys def and/or high mag atk then STAY AWAY and try to stun and kill them from a distance.

also i have a question is there a limit as to how many people can participate in TW from each faction?

range has no effect if wizard can cast or not (except too far) which kind of makes them harder to deal with, range wise than archer (which get their damage halved at close range)

and i think it was 80 max/faction in TW

Just remember guys this is only my opinion on the matter and I have only learned what I do on the Private servers. And on the private servers your facing higher lvls and better gears.

The Private Servers I Play are:

pwvendetta.com and mmodevastation.com


Both are and can be fun if you enjoy PvPing.

If you wanna know the differences from the private servers to PWI well that's another thread.

nothing about TW..

Well, against the popular knowledge, im a huge TW fan and havent missed any in ages.

Heres a guide me and friend wrote on another page.

Cata Pullers - Barbs or high level tanks with mass hp and great mag/phys defenses. They will pull the cataults in their squads, usually 2 pullers in a cat squad ncase the main puller dies, the backup puller if not pulling a cata already will take over straight away and continue to pull the cata forward while the other puller heals/buffs itself and gets ready to take back over in the event of the backup puller dying.

Barbs - If not designated as a cat puller they are purely tanks in thier squad and will attempt to take aggro off everyone else as they can as they take a lot of time to kill. Your job in this case is to hit everything that comes close to your squad and basically annoy the enemy so they have no choice to attack you back.

Cleric - Buffing and heals ONLY! This class can atk in pve or pk but in TW is the lifeline of the squad and must be protected at ALL COSTS!!!! All clerics except Base buffers MUST remain in the air and inform their squad immediatly if they are being targeted. The cleric is the no.1 unit in our squads and it to be protected, without them you will always be banging your head and getting annoyed when you get ganked and no 1 is healing you wallbash.gif . When in a HQ it is best to stick up BB's for your squad as this will make a lot of difference and save having to worry about who to heal!!

Veno's - Easy job, Purge and amp the barbs and kill everything asap. Remember a purged cata puller is an easy target to take down and will stop them ever getting close to the cyrstal.

Archers - Do what you do best and DD the squishies, Main role is to take out the clerics and wiz's (Wiz's that are attacking the Cat pullers are your main concern) If you get chance barrage a big group of people!!!!!

Wizards - Again same as archers but this time your targets are the bm's, assassins and barbs. Your main concern after a veno has purged a cat puller is to nuke it, if your not attacking the cat pullers nuke the bm's so they cant stun everyone.

BladeMasters - Your role is to STUN and HF/nuke any advancing squads. When placed in a Cata squad your job is to stun any incoming forces and keep them off the CLERIC not the barb.

Assassins - Still not fully up to speed with this class but from what i can tell a nice DD class that will like an archer nuke things just in close combat. Also after talks with a few sins we will look into using them for their stealth abilties and maybe use for flanking and surprise assults, maybe if we even get a decent sin with nice armours we can use as a stealth cata puller. (if any sins would be kind enough to leave advice on what they do normally in TW underneath that would be very helpful)

Psychic's - Mage DD similar to wizards from what i have been told so far, again im not fully up to speed with this new class so we will endevour to find a great role for you in TW. For the time being you are to Assist in DD only and back up cleric support when needed in your squad.(you will not be expected to replace the cleric, just assist with heals if needed) Again if anybody has any advice or tips for this class please leave them below.

Ok so now some tips for each squad :-

Cata Squads - 1 or 2 barbs pulling catapults, under NO cicumstances do you stop moving. you MUST keep pushing till you reach a tower and then and ONLY then will you attack the tower. The cleric in this squad will stay in the AIR at all times and will only Heal the barb unless the squad needs healing BUT the BARB is your no. 1 priority heal. Bm's will move with the squad and STUN any incoming units and protect the CLERIC at all costs, if there are no incoming units assist attacking the Tower with the cata's. Veno's, wiz's, archers, sin's and psy's will DD any units that the bm stuns and will assist in keeping the cleric alive. Again you MUST NOT stop moving at any cost untill you reach a tower, DO NOT stop to 1v1 anybody and work as a TEAM to first remove their clerics and support classes! Another squad will have the role of supporting the cata squad and removing units for you.

Cata Support Squads - Will be mostly DD classes with 1 support cleric. Your role is simple - KILL anything that comes close to the cata squad. Defend the Cata squad at all costs and when there are no incoming units then and ONLY then you attack the tower which the cata squad is attacking, you MUST STOP attacking the tower as soon as any units start to come towards that cata squad.

Stun Squads - Will be a full squad of only bm's!!! Your role is simple, you will move around the map where needed and your only job will be to STUN. You WILL all be taliking to each other in VENT and your SQUAD LEADER will tell you when and where to STUN/ATTACK. This squad will need to have SPARK POTS and SPEED POTS as you WILL be running around the map ALOT to where ever your TW Commander requires your assistance, weather that is to help with BASE DEFENSE or to help CLEAR/STUN the path for a squad.

HQ Squad - This squad will be only 2 clerics and they will NOT under any circumstances leave OUR respawn point. you WILL buff EVERYONE as soon as they respawn. You do not need to be in vent so if vent is full or very busy pls do not use it.

Defense Squads - Your role will consist of guarding the CRYSTAL at all costs. If for whatever reason they push all of our defense squads back and set up a BB a BARB or other class with a CANCEL ABILTY will be ordered to nuke the cleric and all clerics will heal that unit while everyone else supports their advancement to remove the BB. Do NOT work on your own, SQUAD LEADERS pick your TARGETS and WORK as a TEAM and KILL them TOGETHER!

Great Guide V and it's good to hear from you again. hehe I will be reading this over and over again. I am sure the pointers will help me with my pking obsession on Vendetta.
