Day 2 PvP Tips for beginners

[Animarelic]

First and Foremost; "PvP has several undesirable qualities that need to be checked into or fixed."

There are some rules you should know when approaching PvP before you immediately write off the entire system as "Broken" or Classes too "IMBA".

Rule#1 Realize you aren't in Coil anymore.
I said that to say this, some people try the same mechanics they tackle PvE with only to end up defeated and frustrated. You are no longer facing a predictable program you are facing other people. While they may have identical skills and stats it boils down to who makes most use of the skills they are given.

Rule#2 New Stats mean take a New approach
Some people are outraged that they are losing to people who aren't geared as well as them. With Morale introduced and deemed to be "The Best Stat for PvP" it's kind of hard to ignore it as the game progresses. You may not like that your item level drops when you wear PvP gear but if you plan to PvP be prepared to encounter people who have accepted it.

Rule# 3 Your Class has A Counter
You may assume that your <Insert Job/Class> can "PWN THE WURLD!" but I digress. Each Job has a Counter Job that will make your PvP life a living nightmare. You will learn this rather fast if you are adaptable to situations that involve you laying face up every time you encounter one. If you are playing at your 100% BEST A-GAME and you still can't seem to get the win or escape then you may just be dealing with your Counter.
