Pvp

Ok, so this is a guide on pvp and I hope it is helpful to everyone and can be used to help pirates who want a little… edge on their opponents
I will list several methods on winning on pvp and also, what not to do in pvp

Jumping

Jumping, however hard to explain I still believe it is the best pvp method out there…
How to jump: Ok, now this is mostly self-taught and you can’t learn it overnight How you jump is have your left hand on the Q,W and E keys and have your left thumb on the Space key, now before you start jumping around, it is best for you to try to run circles around something using the Q or E key and turning your mouse around to always face the opponent then you can go to actual jumping.

Jumping tip: have a cutlass ( or broadsword if you aren’t playing with people who like to control the game ) and a dagger and a grenade handy for this, it will optimize damage.

Voodoo doll

This is one of the most frowned upon methods for pvp, although it is also very useful and should be a last resort if you happen to have a doll in your weapon belt.
Although attunements are easily broken by a good dagger ((which you should watch for )) doll is still very helpful

How to use Voodoo Doll: Get a doll with Evil Eye, I cannot stress this enough, If you can attune from afar, then it will be hard to get you with cutlass. And run around in circles while casting as many attacks as possible in this recommended order: Curse, Grave Shackles, Life drain, Burn, Swarm, Poke, and the Swarm/Poke combo continuing until Burn, Shackles or Drain comes back.

Voodoo doll tips: stay as far away from cutlasses and daggers as possible.

Kamikaze

Although this method is pretty self-explanatory it is extremely effective, especially if you are on a team

How to Kamikaze: get a grenade,((preferably siege)) and run at your opponent stand right beside them and throw grenades until one of you is defeated.
Kamikaze tips: this method is only useful when your HP is above or below your opponents by however much your grenades hit for i.e. a siege charge doing 1746 damage ( it happens.. ) although in pvp grenades do less damage (sadly…)

Ranged

This method is extremely helpful although it is hard to hit close ranged.
How to Hit Ranged Targets: get a musket ( more damage ) and fire as fast as possible ( while still using Take Aim) at your target until they come up close, then you fire a Take Aimed shot at them and it usually does 700-2000 damage depending on gun level.

Ranged Tips: this method is only effective at a very high gun level and Notoriety.

Weapon Chart: what to use against what

Your weapon= top Their weapon= side
Chart Sword Gun Doll Dagger Grenade Staff
Sword O O G O B B
Gun O O O O O G
Doll O G O G B O
Dagger O O B O B B
Grenade G G G G O O
Staff G G G G O O


G= great O=ok B=Bad ((sorry about letter being put where they not supposed to be, this requires a little more effort because of my lack of forum skills))

Tips:

Use fast-switch (( when in a weapon press the esc key to sheath/stow/whatever it instead of pressing the corresponding function key (i.e. F1, F2, F3, F4 ) this really helps with switching weapons in pvp, but practice it before, its hard to learn))

Don’t use Staff, its overrated, does little damage and takes forever to charge.

Don’t use Grenades on anything but Kamikaze and ranged, otherwise you are ruining your own HP
Thanks for your time and I hope this guide helps you
