Do arans suck in pvp?

So the Battle square opened yesterday and I decided to try it out
But somehow I just end up dying
So is it just me or all Arans aren't good at pvp?
If not, what are the strategies or skills you guys use?

I just get a combo to 50 then respawn and use combo recharge, and let off a tempest. I manage to pick off at least one person perlife this way. And the great thing is that the tempest gets ur combo high enough got a judgement. And just work your way down the list of finishers. If you can pull this off it's a nice way to take a few people out before you get murdered.

Try and get some hits on some ppl using final toss,final charge and rolling spin,then use combo recharge or if u have 200 combos, use combo tempest (nearly the best pvp mob att ) if will almost 1 hit kill every1 unless they dodge it-cough phanny cough-

I mean EVERYTHING I used in pvp lags.. (except final charge)
rs, ft, os, fc......all possible attacks I use is basically lagging. People just simply jump away from judgement because they know o.o
The only way for me to kill a cosair/ phantom is use body pressure -_- which only works 2/10..

Like @TroiSky: said before, our AFA does interfere with our attack.
Most of the time, AFA will activate in the middle of your OSFB attack. In PVP our attacks are majorly delayed, so first the AFA attack is triggered, but it overrides OS itself, which ruins the OSFB combo, and it'll make you start over. Often your OSFB won't even finish, which is extremely annoying.
Getting to FB is rare for me. Stupid AFA...
I woud recommend just using RS in PVP. It doesn't have the AFA issue, and the damage it deals is pretty decent. You can also easily jump while casting it.

And also our HP is the lowest of all warriors, we're the squishiest.
Combat Step isn't enough to get away most of the times.
So basically, yes, we suck at PVP. Just gotta suck it up, get used to it, and move on.

[quote=KaiXai]Sadly yes. But, they are able to soak up a lot of damage before they can die.

I manged to kill two arans when i had only 30 percent of my hp when they were teaming up on me. ( Both level 200s ) :O[/quote]

the key is pretty much timing. The only effective way to kill in pvp is with fb. So you wanna use ur overswing before you see the opponent, so i suggest sneaking up on them or while they're above you.

I seemed to do pretty well the 1 time I actually went. If you stay a platform below whoever you want to hit it's pretty easy to just 1 hit them with fb if you're able to get it off in time. I'd just recommend avoiding the more mobile classes, and whenever you respawn, rather than getting drain (which is horrible in PvP), just use judgement for an easy kill(s).

I could own in pvp if there wasn't that delay in all my skills

I believe your guys' Adv Final Attack interferes with your combos.
@Feeling can tell you guys more about it.
