Slayer PVP Question from a Semi-Noob

ArtanissArtaniss
in PvP Discussion
Hey all I am still some what new to Tera although I do have a 65 Mystic, 60 warrior , and soon to be 60 zerker and gunner. The only toon I PP'd with was my Mystic and very limited at that. So I want to make a melee class but dont want to play warrior and was wondering how slayers hold up pvp wise vs zerker and gunners? The reason I ask is because I am looking to level one of these three on a pvp server and would like to know how they hold up 1-1 and small group etc.?

    Play what is fun to you. Though gunner will be the most impactful out of those 3 choices, it's about enjoying the class you play.

    If you really enjoy PvP, gear them all in conflate. You get it by doing PvP.

    Just play all three. Take it easy, get dread and start dueling in VO. Get to know the class. Ask for advice while you duel. Experiment, change, adapt. That's the beauty of Slayers, we can be very suprising if the enemy isn't careful. Do that for each class you want to play, do CS, see what kind of PvP you like.

    In mass PvP it's Gunner>Slayer>/=Zerk

    In 3v3 it's most likely always
    Zerk>Slayer>Gunner if the zerk knows what hes doing

    1v1 is a whole different story. For both Zerks and Slayers, Gunner is a tough nut to crack since both classes depend on knockdowns which are ez pz for gunners.

    Long story short, play all three, try out some BGs and see what you like. If you have any questions about Slayers specifically PM me.

    GL out there!

    When you say ez-peezee for Gunners do you mean it's easy to knock them down or easy for Gunners to get away from knock downs?

    Gunners can have most direct impact because 1. people don't dodge BV and 2. don't realise that AB crits 100k+ on full power
    Catch is you need the gear to back that damage up.

    Mystic too since you have regression which removes all buffs including shakan and kaia for anyone who got popped by it within the radius, good thing for you, you can wear the equalised gear and your regression maintains the same impact. This is particularly effective when people clutter close to each other after they got CC'd (giga/etc)

    Removing kaia is a big one since it shields them up for 29k ish damage, and making them vulnerable to crowd control skills ie leash without having the need of someone bashing past that 29k.

    Having said that, being slayer and warrior isn't all that bad in group pvp, warrior in particular has pretty great 1v1 control for you to lock down key targets like the gunner with red trying to BV your entire team or the god carry priest that seems to heal the enemy team out of the worst possible situation. As for slayers, I have seen slayers with +12 slaughter making 7/0 in the first two minutes of clash, it is all more about how you exploit your class to certain type of situation.
