calm down bro

The only PvP improvement I'd like to see is a more noticable sign that I've killed someone. Such as their death scream. I'd like my victims final wail to be more satisfying.

We are all members of the Federation. Should you choose to attack a fellow member of the Federation you will be deemed an outlaw and treated as such.


As a serial murderer of lowbies and same-levels alike the outlaw system makes sense to me.

Fortunately warriors do notably more damage than lancers. I feel ya tho brah. When i first realized my backstab stun didn't last long on players I was like

Welcome to Tera. This game is absurdly gear (and subsequently level) dependent.

"Oh u just leveled to 50? Here's a new weapon with TWICE as much damage on it as your previous weapon! Have fun murdering level 49s!" -NPCbob

Here is a link to a list of all Sorc abilities. Your friend is probably lying

http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/classes/topics/GUIDE-Delaks-Sorcerer-Guide

The only sorc ability I can think of that might 1 shot someone is fire blast. It draws a circle on the ground and once the circle is done drawing (takes awhile) it explodes for a ton of dmg. In most circumstances its fairly simple to just walk out of the circle.

However sorcs also have an ability called Time gyre (i think) that roots you for basically the same amount of time as it takes for them to draw the circle. This root is a lock on.

So probably what happened is: ur buddy got rooted (which explains the lock on) and then stood in the circle of death. Tell him to shoot or interrupt the sorc next time so he doesn't explode.

As for the archer.... there is nothing an archer can do that explains what happened to ur buddy that I am aware of.

What ability is he being 1 shot by?

Also everyone craps on poison blade but it's some of our most reliable dmg and we spend so much time strafing around things that I find it nice for pvp.

Also buy a crap ton of that one crystal that increases your movement speed in combat. It's a weapon crystal called "swift [insert crystal name here]". I don't think u can use more than one at a time but crystals break all the freaking time so u should probs keep some in ur inventory to replace it as soon as it breaks.

Warrior PvP-


step1: buy and equip glyph of blade draw cooldown reset

step2: use blade draw whenever u can

I've found myself using vortex slash more often lately since 1: its hard as [filtered] to actually hit people most of the time and 2: it decreases blade draw animation time.

I agree that u should usually not open with backstab with one exception: when ur fighting another warrior. Spam that [filtered] on cooldown when ur fighting another warrior.


Also buy the pounce glyphs. Pounce is our only reliable slow and ur going to need to use it all the time. It also decreases Rain of blows animation time.

Glyph of death from above isn't bad either since it 1: makes u immune to dmg and 2: allows u to use vortex slash and subsequently blade draw

I actually try to avoid using combative strike since it slowly kills you. I'm on the fence about it tho. It could be worth using.

I'm a lvl 50 war btw
