Practical Tips on Aion Abyss PVP Part II DateTime:8/18/2010 5:52:58 PM
If you find yourself surrounded by enemies, running is impossible and death is certain, fly straight up vertically. Keep flying, don't ever look back, fly until your flight timer runs out and you fall to your death. Use the movement bonuses, they really do work. Sorc, Spiritmaster, Ranger, Glad are recommended to move forward to get the damage bonus. Templar, Cleric and Chanter are suggested to move backwards for the defense bonus, while Assasin should move left and right for the evasion bonus. Of course, it also depends on what the particular situation requires. Clerics are the most difficult class to kill. Sometimes you should still attack one in group PVP, not to kill him, but to stop his heals to his party by interrupting his spell. In group PVP always leave Templar as the last target, he's simply not a threat with his low DPS. Even a Sorc which has the lowest HP amongst all classes can "tank" a Templar for 15 seconds or more. During this time your group should go for the "squishies" such as Sorcs and Rangers, second kill the Glad and Assasin, then take out the Cleric, and save the Templar for last.
In mass PVP, most newbie Assasin players eagerly sacrifice their lives by sneaking into enemy formations and kill a single enemy player. Afterwards his fate is always inevitable death as he's now surrounded by enemies. However, an Assassin will be a lot more useful and valuable to the team by actually staying alive, detect enemy Assasins, attack enemies from the rear in a coordinated attack with the rest of the group, and chase down running enemies. Spiritmasters are horrifyingly powerful on 1 vs 1 ground PVP, but take the fight to the skies and he's easy as cake, because his pets can't fly. As a side note: Spiritmasters don't make good group PVPers. Their mage cousins, Sorcs, are much better alternatives when it comes to mass PVP.
