@DesireOfMine You have clearly not played boat pvp at all, your characters have a total of 57 duels, all of them likely trolls. I have over 1000 boat pvp duels (balanced for faitness) clocked now and multiple friends of mine have over 4000 total duels.

Dungeon PvP is skill-less. There is no point to even talk in terms of 'power ranks' or whatever if it's about dungeon PvP. There is no counter system whatsoever, normal attacks knock down opponent and invulnerability works as in PvE (generally everything works like in PvE, which just doesn't work - you may as well just perma knock someone), etc. etc. Dungeon PvP is just attack spam basically - no thinking at all."

This is the most uninformed post I have ever seen. I don't know if I even want to respond. Fight anyone good in boat pvp and you would get destroyed, good luck attack spamming them. The counter system is dodge/get good, something that you don't have to do with your stats evidently. There were PvP tournaments on NA West that are on youtube that demonstrate this and the player that won the 1st PvP Tourney came 2nd in the next one. I can list the very best of the best in boat pvp and all of them were carried by their skill, something you can hardly say about arena where stats and character are really all that matters, good luck as many character matchups are borderline unwinnable and many stat matchups are borderline unwinnable (someone with huge stats has a massive advantage in arena, meanwhile it is balanced in boat pvp.)

In fact the best spear lann on West (Formation) would dodge my hollow shot with spear lann's dodge 99% of the time, this was back when the dodge was 0.3 seconds of invulnerability. Bow kai also uses longbow only in the vast majority of boat pvp which requires much more skill and is much more engaging than shortbow is.

@Arrow95 "If your on West I wouldn't mind to see what you're made of, sorry if you thought my motto was egotistical but I havnt had a good challenage in a long time

About the lag it would be nice if all the Servers could come together without any lag, Pvp wouldn't be so dead then. "

Yes I am on west, feel free to add me - "Sylerius" is my Kai, I would love to duel you. And nah don't worry about the motto lol I don't mind. If you are good at boat pvp/enjoy it though I am sure I will be able to put up a good show.

I mostly do 1 on 1 Arena, but I don't mind Boat

I do have a Okay Geared Kai on West

I would 100% fight you as crossgun or longbow or mix/matching them (crossgun vs bow). I really enjoy boat pvp as kai and fighting another kai is super fun.

I can't do it for a few days though since I'm out of town from work. But I would love to duel you. Slake my lust for pvp.

My Motto in Game is "Still Looking for a Challenge" If Anyone wants a go am game

Boat PvP or arena? I would definitely fight you in boat. I am west unfortunately though.

My experience is primarily with boat PvP, though I know a reasonable amount about the ingame methods of PvP like Siege/Deathmatch/Arena. Maybe someone more experienced than me will be able to give you a better answer eventually.

This is all to my current knowledge/impressions, it should be reasonably accurate.

You really can't go wrong with Kai (both weapons) and Cestus Karok, both are extremely good. Spear Lann and Hurk(?) are also very good. I'm not sure about any of the new characters unfortunately, I was told Arisha was/is top 4.

Scythe Evie, Fiona and Pillar Karok are weak against good players. Staff Evie is hard to manage. Sword Lann is mediocre.

If you are only really interested in the official PvP methods, then I suggest playing Kai as both his weapons are very viable in PvP. He is not as difficult to gear as some of the other characters and if you ever get into Boat PvP he is very fun there too.

There is not much PvP going on nowadays though, maybe once we get the 3v3 tournament update if it ever arrives. Vindictus is primarily PvE and there is rarely good PvP to be had.

I play minimum height on all of my characters. AFAIK, people have said the difference between min and max height is 6-12 attack speed (can't remember which # it is, I think it's 12).

Generally in PvE, you're trying to swing and dodge quickly in between the bosses's attacks rather than spacing yourself so you're hitting at the very max range of your skills. So IMO, attack speed is better, the extra reach will hardly matter.

In PvP it's debatable, in boat PvP for some chars max height is better because it becomes a spacing war, however boat PvP died awhile ago and I'm not sure about arena. (In arena spacing matters less and speed matters more, I think).

I also just like having all my characters short. I'm not sure whether max height affects Staff Evie's range, but even if it did I would still prefer min height for the attack speed.
