Are warrior’s good at PK/PVP?
From my experience playing as a warrior and watching other
warriors in action, there are certain aspects of PVP that warrior’s dominate.
Warrior’s have high defense and high HP and can last longer in a battle than
any other class. While they are a well rounded class, there are other aspects
of PVP that warrior’s aren’t as good in. This guide will explain the advantages
and disadvantages that warriors have in PVP.
Advantages
- High defense, high HP and high block; warrior’s
can bull rush into a crowd, wipe a number of enemies out, retreat, recharge and
repeat.
- Warrior’s have speed thanks to bull rush and
wild charge; they can move around maps and run away fairly quickly
- Last resistance makes you practically invincible
for 5 seconds
Disadvantage
- Warrior’s have to chase after running enemies
- Not as effective in 1v1 battling against a mage
Warrior vs. Rangers 1v1
Rangers like to ensnare warriors and then damage them from a
distance. If a warrior gets near them again, they will use shift to move away.
At this point you should try landing wild charge’s and slam’s to stun the
target, preventing them from moving away from you, once they are stunned try
hitting them with drowsiness and continue spamming slam. Finish with a wild swing. Remember save your bull rush
and use it only when you are ensnared.
Warrior vs. Mage 1v1
Mages can be extremely difficult for warrior’s to take out.
Mages have a variety of skills that disable your movement and disable your
ability to use skills. This makes you a sitting duck. When PvPing against a
mage, you have to break their shield and make sure they don’t recast it. When
their shield is on, you won’t be able to stun them using slam or wild charge.
When PvPing against a mage, I like to use rage and land a wild swing. After
this they will probably try to retaliate by moving farther away from you. I
like to use bull rush to catch up to them, land drowsiness and then proceed
with berserk and spam slam – saving a wild charge in case they somehow get
away. A helpful tip to remember is that, bull rush can be used to unfreeze
yourself.
What Should my Hotkeys Look Like?
These are the hotkeys that I recommend having.
Slot 1 (bottom-up): Wild Swing -> Berserk ->
Drowsiness -> Slam -> Wildcharge
Slot 2 (bottom-up): Bull Rush -> Last Resistance -> Recall
Scrolls -> HP Potions
When Should I Start PvPing?
If we are talking about beach PvPing, I recommend starting
at level 35, at this level you should have all your key skills, good HP, and a
decent amount of armor and fire resistance. Many of you will probably start PvPing
at level 30.I've seen a lot of lower level players PvPing at beach, that's okay, but I honestly wouldn't be wasting my time.
What equipment should I use?
Weapon: You need a good weapon for PvP, from 30-34, if you
can get a +6/7 platinum rapier then good for you, but if not try to get
yourself a +7/8 gladius with good hitrate 5+. At 35 you should aim for either a
platinum rapier +6/7 or rune blade +7. The endgame weapon right now is a +7 or
better darksteel sword.
Equipment: Remember only every 5 armor matters. So having 79
armor is no different from having 75 armor. Try to use equipment that will get you to 80
armor. Once you’re 36 you should try getting your armor 85. And remember, correct me if I’m wrong but
every four levels you get an additional 1 armor.
Going into more detail:
Helmet – use a +4/5 heavy iron helmet until you can get a
good +5 helmet of bravery with good FR
Armor – use a +5/6 highguard armor until you are 36, then switch
to a good +5 steel armor again with good FR.
Ring – Use ring of ancient with either an HP or STR enchant
Belt – Madgar’s Belt with either an HP or STR enchant
Shoes - +5/6 Heavy iron boots
Shield – a +6 ion shield with good FR has done wonders for
me
Gloves – get a glove with high HR to land more consistent
hits on high level players. I recommend either a +4/5 Heavy iron gauntlet with
4 HR or a +6 with 6 HR.
Cape – stick with a bulldozers cloak until you can afford a
COW, COHD or COD. Use a HP or STR enchant on this. But I would say having a
good necklace is one of your last priorities.
Necklace – I honestly like having a raven necklace with good
HP but if you can get something better than go ahead. Again this would be one
of my last priorities.

- Switch to a darksteel set
Last tip: When to run away: If you care about your fame, I
would say retreat when you have 20% of your HP left when it is 1v1. Or if you
are fighting off a mob, then retreat once you have 30%-40% of your HP left.
Remember the PK feature is meant to be fun (for most
players), don’t abuse your powers and have some self control.
