Shadower Pvp Tips and Tricks

Abuse smokescreen by recasting it every time you die and respawn. They dont fade away for each one. You can fill up the entire map with smoke if you want to. You can camp in there and kill people who go through it or run to it afterward. (You can do this with dark flare too)
Abuse dark sight by using it whenever you can and wait for someone to come by to use assasinate.
Use flash jump a lot. I run away a lot and pick off the weaker low defense jobs and avoid the hurricane skill jobs if you can.

pretty much it.
I was just messing around and got a 30 kill streak without dying and people got pissed.

[quote=kenshin948]well you couldnt spam skills so i guess? tbh old pvp had literally no strategy and the delay on skills was honestly obnoxious...
in my experience i find the new pvp to actually involve some strategy(atleast in the very high room) since you get knocked out so easily and buffing usually equals death if your not carefull [/quote]

Skills that had delays had them for a reason: they were either OP or to stop you from only using it. Because of the delays, it allowed people to switch between skills and use them in different situations and many people thought that the delay factored into all of the skills instead of just one. Of course there were some people who actually had a delay where they weren't suppose to; there was nothing to do about it.

[quote=kenshin948]you actually have to think about how to take people down rather then just run around spamming stuff.[/quote]
You kind of contradicted yourself by saying that you weren't able to spam skills in your first sentence then saying this. If you look at the old pvp then at this new one, obviously the old one required much more thinking than this one.The new pvp's concept is to attack them before they KO you, whereas in the old one, it didn't matter if they got a strike off you; you still had time to make you move.

[quote=kenshin948]Especially with classes like mages and Ds's which dont go down easily at all. Old pvp had no real difference between classes in survival, everyone died fairly quickly and the highest ranking players in rounds were usually the ones who knew how to use the pvp buff orbs on the ground[/quote]
The higher leveled Mages and Ds's in the old pvp didn't go down easily either. I'm not going to comment on your second sentence in this. Obviously you didn't play in the old pvp long enough if you think that Pallies, Evans, and Bishops had no differences in survival compared to the other classes.

2 Shad strategies:
1.Smoke at start, then go all out till you die and repeat on respawn.
2.Smoke at start, then when its gone FJ away, FJ back, 1 bstep, and repeat steps 2-4 until you can smoke again.

Since when does PVP require strategy anyway? If I remember correctly, people just walk in map kill or get kill and done, no strategy. The only down side in the new PVP is that you can't rebuff safely without someone knocking you off the chain.

Its getting easier once you are experienced, using shads on PVP is more of testing on your experience with the character than how much godlier items you have. Well, got to 999 wins/200 loses yesterday till i can't add a win anymore.

Lol nice. Though I find Dark Flare a bit odd; it doesn't seem to reflect much at all compared to the other types of reflects. Look at Demon Slayers, their reflect is literally 100% and whenever I use assassinate on them, I kill them but die in the process LOL.

We only have B-step and lolspellhiem to mob. Can't even use lolspellhiem without pushing some people away from us in groups and why is Steal disabled..

I hate watching groups of 4 thieves all in Dark Sight just waiting for someone with low health to come by; it just pisses the hell out of me.

I 1-3 hit-KO people(except Evans/Pallies) that it becomes so boring after a few minutes :[

Lastly, (To me) it's much slower to gather emblems then in the previous pvp. So this pvp disappoints me.

Evans have been difficult to kill. For DBs, I just use advanced dark sight and afk <3
