How do you kill your Bams and Fps in PvP?

Every time i come across one, we are basically evenly matched.
Bam just drain your mp, and fp do 1k dmg, but their dot do 55k dmg
I take my magic guard off for bam, but for fp we just spam each other or run around.
Is there any other way to handle this situation?

Are there actually people complaining BaM can destroy mages? Thats a good thing lol. Other than crash which only works some times, its a good thing BaM's are a mages' achillies heel. Sure their invincibility is terrible but at least they keep the mages away

[quote=SpringBlossoms]ADA only gives some DoT, it doesnt drain MP at all.
i think OP is referring to the fact that b/c ADA does dmgs, magic guard will transfer some of those dmgs into MP, leaving him the -ADA drains MP- impression...their blood drain also drains HP too. <3[/quote]
blood drain drains hp? well thanks, I had no idea, I just knew that ALL HITS DRAIN HP IDIOT

Vs Bams:
-become a stronger Bam
-strong phantoms
-wait for them to run out of invincibility (stay away from the shield, run/flash jump over twister spine, run when you see a black/purple heart animation come from the bam)
-an f/p mage, evan or bishop (do not use magic guard)
-summons and DoTs in general
-pallies
-strong marksmen

Vs F/P mages
-BaMs (for ones who don't take magic guard)
-magic crash
-bishops (dispel + shining ray spam)
-strong dbs, shads, and phantoms
-cannoneers (monkey millita + anchor combo)
-a stronger f/p mage
-other DoTs and summons

[quote=TroiSky]@Mystelteinn: I've seen your name on the Broa PvP list and I'm sure you already know BaMs were already strong enough without the aid of this "glitch". This just adds to the broken-ness to the new PvP, I honestly just want Nexon to bring back the old one
I'm not complaining about BaMs in general, but I just wanted to clear up this glitch so other BaMs would understand. Since this is what the people in this thread didn't even know.[/quote]

I totally with you except on one point : BaMs being strong in old PvP. Our damage was subpar in old PvP and only counterbalanced by our survivability (thank god) because of 3 invincibility moves, 2 of which could and can still be easily dodged.

But yeah, broken skills and broken PvP errrrrrrrrday. I wish nexon could re-balance the old PvP and brind it back.

[quote=TroiSky]@SpringBlossoms You are a battle mage.. I don't think you would of noticed when you were killing off other Mages. The only time the DoT from ADA would drain another Mage's MP is when they have Magic Guard activated and it drains ALL of it because in the new PvP; the whole DoT effects are taken in during the few first seconds of impact. It does not spread out like it is suppose to.
You could say that a Mage can just not use MG, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of having that skill?[/quote]

New PvP is broken as hell anyways.

What does it matters if we have one skill not working correctly and that's actually helping us?

I can't even tele around in Twister spin like i should be able to, so whenever i go in TS mode, everyone just runs away. In old PvP, i always thought it as fair, since most skills were dumbed down to attain some balance, but now in new PvP, where all skills are allowed, we get the short end of the stick, since 1 of our 3 invincibility move is useless, compared to phantoms (with like 80% dodge?), and mages who can withstand like 3423423 as much as they're supposed to tank, because of the crazy HP pool they gave everyone, topped with magic guard.

I do agree that ADA's MP DoT is bullcrap, but the whole PvP is broken.

@Momijii: It is because of that, but that was [b]not[/b] suppose to happen. That problem never existed back in the old PvP.

Well, BaMs are just made like that; no reason to rat out our weaknesses cause that's a thing you find out on you're own experience.

Yea but if they drain my mp on every hit they do.
Also, normally my evan hits about 30k per illusion, but on bam's, i only do like 10-20k.
