I remember skimming through these forums for advice on pvp (4 months ago). And someone mentioned that the best player was some korean guy who won a tournament, while using a fiona. If this is true, can show me proof? or a video? or can a few ppl verify this ? thanks!

I just want to know what class he was using most of all

I've never even heard of anything like that.

The PvP on Vindictus is really............ mediocre, at best.

And you don't benefit from it much, if at all.

The only thing I remember (I usually only bother with PvE or equipment/update related threads) is someone mentioning a tournament. But I also remember hearing that nobody had a clue to what they were doing and the Fiona was the only person who looked like they had decent PvP experience.

4 months ago was still relatively close to PvP's initial release on the Korean servers (my memory is terrible though), so I doubt the information is still relevant. Since then we've had a few rebalances (Hammers cough).

So if anything, that'd be outdated info. I'm guessing a Small Shield Sword Fiona though, the speed of a Sword Fiona is vital to interrupt attacks, Hammer's normals are too slow to get any form of offense going. Small Shield would probably be more effective if you know what to counter in PvP (not like I would know though).

Found it. Looks like my memory was a lil hazy about the actual details... sorry. I guess there wasn't much said. How can you find out who's the best pvp player? And what class he/she plays? I'm guessing you probably can't right now.

Spear Lann isn't too bad, just don't get caught in the spin2win, pick your shots and interrupt his combos. Good sword Lanns are far harder for me, as a Fiona.

Staff Evie utterly dominates PvP at the moment with a good player in control. I wouldn't complain if she got nerfed. I feel bad for Scythe Evies, they got the short end of the stick.

Fiona is actually quite viable in PvP, it just takes some practice I think. A Korean friend of mine told me that a Fiona won some dueling tournament in Mabi Heroes.

Dueling is surprisingly fun, I've been having a blast with it.

Really? I find hammers to be more of use combined with a heavy shield, you heavy stander until the other guy runs out of stamina or something and then you hit him once with a hammer and if he begins attacking again you go back to heavy stander and repeat, going to be a long battle then...

Devcat should make separate PvP skill stats for going into PvP then reverting back to normal skill stats when going out of PvP

I do have little to no PVP experience, sooooo. XD

But I was reading some more Sword/Hammer comparison topics over at the Nexon forums, and someone brought up the point that a Sword Fiona vs a Hammer Fiona, the Sword Fiona would win as the Hammer Fiona can't get any long combo going due to the length of the normals, so that if both characters pressed L, the Sword Fiona would win and get a combo. This would probably apply to getting an offense going against other characters.

That and you just described a play style I don't think describes a good PVPer. I don't know what the skill level of "best" at PvP is, but against anyone who's half decent, they won't run out of stamina due to stamina management. I don't know how to beat a Large Shield Fiona in HS, I'd guess each class has a move that does more stamina damage then it costs. The shield selection was mostly a wild guess as again, I really don't PvP, but I'd imagine HS turtling isn't what you'd define as high skilled PvP play. Then again, I'm not sure what's considered a smash in PvP as everything just seems to go out the window.
