PvP as a Bard
 

If you're fighting a melee opponent that has above avarage MR, does it basically become a kiting game? I don't expect to be able to stand toe to toe with a equally/better geared pure melee class, so my question is what is the best way to 1v1 in a situation like that. Without the ability to use two-hand weps i imagine jousting as a bard is a really bad idea against, say, a T staff monk. Would it be best to melee a bit, run for regen, then come back, or to joust with a combination of trying to DoT/slow/snare them while keeping speed up in case they get a nasty Dbl attack, or a nasty rouge backstab.

Just any tips anyone from red can share on the bard class in pvp. Not expecting a well detailed guide on how to Bard, just a some tips that will get me thinking in the right direction when engaging certain classes in pvp.

At the moment i generally open with a dispel or two, as i figure that seems like the best course of action. If caster, I try to cycle a song in my rotation that can stop casting, tho if they have high MR it becomes much more interesting.

Thank ya.

Nobody from red wants to drop some knowledge bombs on me?

until you get your epic you'll almost never be in a situation where it's the better choice to melee

until then, put on a drum and kite with chants/DoTs

if they're naked or low MR, you'll be able to chain mez them away from a zoneline, snare them, and likely get a kill

Gotcha. Thanks for the info!

?????? mez works on red? i thought mez/fear/charm didn't work on PCs on red

mez has always worked on PvP servers

charm/fear quickly got disabled on live, though

damn nice. red99 looking juicier
