Advice needed!! (PvP Swashy - Locked at 16 [Venekor])

[Zante_Shadowhawk]

<DIV>I've locked my swash at level 16 so I can take some time out from levelling and kit up as best I can in order to become more competitive in PvP. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm currently using the following weapons...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Blackened Iron Leafblade (DMG: 5-15 || DLY: 2.1 || +6 AGI || +6 WIS)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Iron Tribal Spear  (DMG: 3-10 || DLY: 2.4)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The problem is that I want to use rapiers as I'm going down the agility line which requires them, (walk the plank sounds very useful). All the information resource websites are either redundant or incorrect and I'm not sure where else to turn other than these forums for information on good rapier-type weapons for a level 16.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As far as armour goes, I'm saving up. My priority right now is to deal as much damage as is possible. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Skill-wise, I'm attempting to craft my own adept III's, finding coral is a slow process but I'm sure it'll pay off once I've got everything upgraded.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any input is welcome, including PvP strategies. As it is right now I have to choose my battles very carefully. I'm using Apprentice's Caustic Poison (MC). </DIV>

<DIV>Im also lvl 16 Swashy on Venekor: I have Full MC, MC Jewelery, but no hex doll charms though. I dont have any adepts 3's, or any low lvl masters... It feels like something is missing. I use a Blackened Iron Dagger in my Main Hand, and a Blackened Iron Sword in the other. My dmg is ok, but it seems like it isnt up to par with the others, and my utility, I feel like Im half baked with myself.. I cant really put my finger on it, but their is something missing from me.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Edit: Also, I only have 2 aa's, and 1 is put into Str line.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Comp2go on <span class=date_text>01-04-2007</span> <span class=time_text>06:49 PM</span>

<P>You do realise that all your equipment will become obsolete at level 20 anyway? (And again, at 30, 40, 50 etc).</P> <P>At least with the spells you should get about 14 levels of use.</P>

<P>Whether or not my skills and items become redundant in a few levels doesn't matter at all. Again, I'm locking myself at 16 in order to compete in some PvP scenarios and perhaps earn status points. I'm trying to get the best fittings I possibly can in order to compete with all the twinks out there.</P> <P>I need to find a DPS guide or something, right now I'm going for hard hitting dual wield weapons instead of extremely fast ones, is this right or wrong? </P> <P>I need an extremely experienced PvP swashy to talk to about this. : ) Otherwise I'm going to end up doing my own research/failed experiments and any knowledge someone might have to share would go to waste.</P>

<DIV>For more damage, all I can say is always buy caustic poison and always make sure both your weapons are imbued. An imbued ranged doesn't hurt, either. "General strategies" I'm too lazy to type here atm. I consider myself to be an extremely experienced PVP swashy, not for bragging rights...It is simply something I accept *shrug*<BR><BR>Feel free to PM me for strategies or something. Specific questions and situations are also good to mention. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV><p>Message Edited by Cocytus on <span class=date_text>01-05-2007</span> <span class=time_text>01:15 PM</span>
