Copperheadr Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I am in the process of building a PvP Merc (arsenal) and would like to see some builds and PvP tips from veteran mercs. Thanks for your input ! :wea_07: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choffware Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) The sticky at the top of the page is pve focused but has a lot of pvp overlap... and this guide is also very good http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1117292-Arsenal-Bounty-Hunter-Are-YOU-Doing-It-Right Edited August 21, 2013 by Choffware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copperheadr Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Thank you for the link, i already read both of your suggestions, and i find them mostly PvE oriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choffware Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Mostly but in general the builds are the same and the gear min max rules are the same. Of course you have to replace the pve gear item with the pvp "equivalent" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choffware Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 As far as tactics there isn't a very good concentrated guide that I've found. Basically the main school of tactics I use is "hit and run" or "hit and fade". Even with all the 2.0 improvements you still need to avoid confrontations and be "sneaky" . Stay at range as best as possible, find walls and pillers to start your attacks from. When you are focused escape. You can kite very well if your HO and PS are not on cool down... but once they are up your kiting effectiveness is going to drop fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthrop Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Mostly but in general the builds are the same and the gear min max rules are the same. Of course you have to replace the pve gear item with the pvp "equivalent" What is the pvp equivalent? For pve, the 4 pc set bonuses are so good, it's been recommended to use old lvl 50 set gear over lvl 55 non-set gear. Obviously, PVP only has the lvl 55 set bonus, so I'll assume I want that. So, quick question after that. What's the general stat priority, so that I can decide which of the 5 pieces is my non set piece. Expertise > AIM > ???? How much acc do I need for pvp?
