hey, I was just wondering what people do in 1 on 1 pvp to win. I'm not looking for combos or anything related, there's plenty of topics on that. what in curious about is how people use dash/fade in pvp to increase their chance of winning. is it possible to dash or fade while in combo?

thanks in advance

I like to call it the ol' "Stand there and take it" PvP haha

use Gravity(lvl 20)as ur finisher, if u time it right u can get away from the melle class, n land a couple hits before he getd to u. other than dat, just get better gear than u alredy have(dat may be the reason u lose/win)

SS does not have better DPS than GD

yeah it does, the dps in the skill info is for 4 targets... so if you multiply it by 4 you get the damage for 1 target, almost as good dps as Shadow Shot.

dash in combo is very ez to do and gives u the advantage of atking ure opponent first. whether u decide to dash or fade is ure choice and wat others think or say makes absolutely no diff. u are absolutely correct that u are a ranged class so being in melee range to ure opponent just gives them the advantage. fading in combo is much harder to do but tho it doesnt make ure opponent lose target it still gives u a little distance like gravity would. play like u would and the next time someone with a bulletproof vest+sword comes after u telling u that u cant shoot his head simply ignore him.

dashing and fading in combo use the same principle, although the reason fading is harder is because when u dash in combo, the combo bar resets and makes it easier to use a different skill, whereas fading continues filling up the bar from where fade was used, and therefore u must use a skill again very quickly after fading.
since im feeling nice today, heres how to do the skills in combo.

1. you must use a skill when you are out of range of the target, forcing your character to walk towards the target
2. while ur char is walking, it is possible to use either dash or fade and still continue the combo, in particular dash since it restarts the combo bar

test it on a training dummy starting from far (at least about 10-15 range) away since fa have no short range magic skills like wiz do. practice it and if u get good at it, u can chase down ppl with it

GD is better utilized in the middle of your combo, preferrably against a sword user because of the back step. Ik you talked about the back step aswell and how it helps but if your gonna use it as a finisher than it negates that ability. SS should be ur finisher unless you got more than than 55% amp and your lances are critting 800 then 2 lances are faster and do more damage than SS

GD is best used after the sword using class has already used it's distance closing skills and have moved on to the main part of their combo. Then you jump back and they're stuck walking.
