    I mostly like new PvP but I probably need tips

    I've been faffing about with PvP ever since the Feast was released, and I gotta say, I've really enjoyed the new PvP system so far. Is it perfectly balanced? Hell no. Are its design philosophies perfect? Nope. But I really appreciate that it leads to a little more focus on positioning, burst timing, CC timing, and more awareness of what's going on.

    It's easier to parse what's going on. Some say that means it's for babies, I say that lets more people enjoy what's great about PvP.

    That said, sometimes I'm just not sure what to do.

    **Pastebin link about Ranked because 1000chr limit**

    Any tips? Or should I just go live in 8v8 where I'll have more fun? Or perhaps I should pray for the reintroduction (and hopefully incentivization) of ranked teams? I don't even like all the scheduling and elitism hell that comes with teams, but it'd probably still be more fun.

    You can edit your post to bypass the character limit. It doesn't apply any more once you hit the edit button.

    Things on top of my head:

    - If you go as melee DPS, always make sure you have an escape route. As a DRG, I always use Elusive Jump as soon as I see 2 or more people targeting me and start taking damage.

    - If the opportunity arises, try to break the Wolf's Heart boxes. Use the chat button that is target sensitive. Hopefully you get your DPS partner or Tank to help out breaking it. Your healer will appreciate the HP and MP regen.

    - Try not to break line of sight with your healer. Can mean life or death.

    - As a melee DPS, let your Tank know when your Adrenaline gauge is full and who your target is. Hopefully your Tank will 'get the message' and crowd control the target so you can use your limit break without them running out of range.

    - As a tank, try not to have more than 5 medal stacks. Too obvious? I don't know.

    HEy guys, a have a few questions to talk about:

    First of all - im switched from Chaos - to Aether so im new here and want to say hello to all pvp-player.
    Im sort of "Content-Player" which means that I play the old contents through and therefore im at Patch 2.2. (I know its very old)
    So at the moment I tried to clean up my inventory and did find "Ikarus-wings".
    So are for FRONT and give you 300 TP.
    But with 4.0 PVP gets completely changed and now my Paladin just have 1 skill which use 300 TP: Shield Bash
    So I'm wondering - could it be that the wings did get useless?

    Maybe you can help me and discuss this case with me: I think there sort of other PVP-Items who match this.
    Greetings

    They can't be used in PVP anymore as far as I know.

    The one that gives 30 tp per tp regain tick is nice you would have a standard 50+30 tp per tick and if you have the trait it would be.. 50+30+25???? I dont know the real numbers but it would work really well, you could consider the insta 300 tp item as 3rd additional skill and the 30 extra tp per tp tick as extra extra trait. If you play for example tank in frontline it really becomes useful

    I play a paladin in PVP - I have only one skill who costs 300 TP - but i cant use it repeatly cause it stuns people and after using you get 10 second buff - when that time is down my TP are already fill up - so what about the other tank classes ? Have you more skills in pvp which need tp

    Only drk and pld use stun for 300 tp. But if u make some counts u can spam stun on different targets and you will run out of tp, talkin about any pvp mode, but since item can only be used in frontlines, you can use that stun every 5 seconds and you are goin to need tp somehow, and you use ite. . These items are also really useful for melees, just imagine a monk or any melee in frontline with these items, he could spam the ogcd it has more often
