Tips for New DBs in Pvp
I love some of the new dbs that appear in PvP. They have no idea what to do, and they just spam Phantom Blow hoping to KO someone. News flash, doesn't work.
But, some tips:
Use Chains of Hell, gives you a chance to combo with PB, Bloody Storm, Final Cut, along with a nice invincibility frame.
Final Cut is best used to KO someone if they're at low health.
Yes, Dark Sight is cheap, but use it! At low health, use it ASAP, and wait for everyone to lower each other's health before you attack, which will give you a good chance for a KO.
In higher up stages, if you get there, it's best to hide in Dark Sight most of the time, as the Bishs and I/L and F/P mages will usually own the place.
Hope I helped you guys.

[quote=MonkeyCraters]Tip: If someone is running away use FATS combo. It kinda stuns them for a sec which is more than enough time for you to finish them off. Another tip if you're going 1v1 use Bs+PB combo. The BS isn't for i-frames but is just to get to the other side of your opponent which makes them spend more time turning than attacking. Using DS + FC also helps a lot when someone strong is threatening you[/quote]
My cpu laggs a bit and flying assualter has been difficult for me to use because its always cutting me off at platforms </3

Yeah. And I was security for that other db who kept interrupting.
I find that taking on groups of enemies is harder.
I let a battle brew up, flank most of them, Dark Sight, then PB them. Or Flying Assaulter them if there's a bigger group.
Seems to work alright.

What I do is just run around in dark sight, see someone with 1/4th hp and final cut them..then back into dark sight comming out to k.o ppl with phantom blow here and there..but it worked out nice..96-70

Yea, CoH doesnt give iframes anymore. if you're killed midway thru the animation, you'll still finish the attack, possibly killing him from the grave.
I take advantage of the moves that DO give me iframes ex. FA, FB, BS

CoH doesn't give you any invincibility frames in PvP. I killed a DB once while they were in the middle of chaining me f3
Dbs however are better at facing off against someone 1v1. In big situations, use dark sight and avoid, and try to pick off stragglers.
