[Darman81]

<p>Hope nobody hammers me here but a little advice would be appreciated!</p><p>After being owned in pvp by coercers while playing my druids, I decided to roll one and actually try to figure out their strengths and weaknesses!</p><p>Im only a level 12 but find it very difficult to PVP!</p><p>I give all of you credit, Coercer is definately not a button mashing class, it takes considerable skill to play!</p><p>I have the best gear for my level and all adept III's. I am having trouble maxing my Subjugation and get a lot of resists!</p><p>Am I on track using the following casting order in a typical one vrs. one pvp encounter!!</p><p>1. Mez</p><p>2. Root</p><p>3. The two damage debuffs</p><p>4. Ego shock </p><p>5.Encounter  attack </p><p>6. Mind jolt {whatever its called}</p><p>Basically I just keep spamming until Im dead LOL!</p><p>Am I doing something wrong or are coercers pretty weak in lower tiers!</p><p>Healers give me by far the most trouble! Other classes I cant kill but I can generally root and run when it gets nasty!</p><p>Any advice for pvp would be appreciated!</p><p>I am enjoying the challenge!</p>
