Hey, guys. First Post,lol

So, I notice that on Runes Of Magic wiki, we have a pvp page that only explains things. It doesn't provide a good guide to fighting, however. Other wikis, such as World Of Warcraft, have extensive information on each class and how to best manage the other classes effectively. I know that there are multiple class options, but lets not specify on those too much. We should also provide advice on the best secondary classes for a certain class. But my main goal is to create and refine good pvp guides for all the classes. Im a level 31 priest, and i have only one character, so im sorta limited. Who wants to join me? (You have to be an experienced pvpe level 65 or up). :)

The Wiki is rather outdated. Most of the decent, extensive guides are in the forums, and there are some nice ones on the forums for PvP and class combo's.

Pro Tip: If you're a mage, watch Cloakedschemer's Siege videos. Guarenteed to double your kill count in 1 month :D

So if you're a priest, do you plan on just healing things in pvp? If so you want to be a big tanky priest/knight healer. If you actually want to kill things on priest, you probably want to be a priest/scout as they tear many people apart with iceblade (you also get the benefit of having everyone scream about how you need to be nerfed, which is fun).

Btw, I play p/s and consistently end up with the most kills during siege. If you are on a pvp server, good luck, cause priests cant do much to rogues that just pop out of hide in the open world.

If you're coming from a game like WoW that has fairly balanced (or just well-designed) PvP, don't expect to find the same here. RoM PvP is a oneshotfest. There's hardly any strategy to it, compared to other games where PvP is a huge thing. Fights last all of a few seconds, no more, so a lot of skills that would be useful in balanced PvP from other games are useless here.

Depends on how you stat, really. I've seen some successful tank builds on DPS classes that do quite well in SW like this one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBinvIyXK6Y Its just that most people opt for straight glass cannon build.

Thats an excellent point. Knights can do well in pvp just because of how much damage they can soak up before croaking. Ofcourse, your rotation with knight is everything and messing that up will result is a very fast death(in knight scales which is still about 5-8 secs normaly). Certain class combos are better built for pvp than others, but all classes combos have their strs/weakness.

One class/combo that is over looked a lot is d/m. It can do some nice damage(1sec cast earth arrows) with alright crowd controll. It can heal/res others. And, most rogues and meele guys completly forget about rocks protection which makes you pretty much immune to meele for 5 secs with a extra sec of lag time. Speaking of which, I will be moving on from my knights untill they get fixed and most likly go back to my d/m/wd.

I will, at some point, publish a knights pvp guid. It will not include stating because that is upto combo and play style. as for skill rotation, I have one for every combo of knight and how to use them on every combo in game. Problem with knight is, dont play one main to lvl with.

Have fun all,
