Is pvp balanced at higher levels?

Help Center
#1

Long story short, me and my friend started playing this game again recently.
And we always pvp each other, in all the games we play.

She is playing a lv109 Krivis Circle 3
I am playing a lv 130 Swordman/Barbarian circle 3.

I am fully equipped with lv120 rare gear, including weapon.
She is equipped with lv75 rare gear, excluding a crappy 200 damage weapon.

Because i am a returning founder, i have a series of buffs including +500 to damage and many more benefits which she does not have and augment the power of your character, ncluding a lot of free attribute points which allowed me to power up my skills.

Despite our differences, we decided to duel each other for fun, it was not meant to be taken seriously and we both assumed i would win easily, it was just for the lulz, and the result was that she destroyed me faster than you would explode a low level monster.

It literally takes her 2 casts to completely decimate my HP before i can even tickle her.
We tried several times and the result was always the same.

Shocked and confused, and just for laughs, we decided to see what would happen if we auto attacked each other…and her character once again beaten mine.

Yes, a Krivis was beating my swordman/barbarian with a rare lv120 weapon, 20+ levels more, and full STR build and damage buffs, at melee auto attaking, not by much, by a small difference, but she was winning.

I mean ,…what?

I understand that we are barely starting on the leveling curve and there is still a lot of game left in front of us but i have to admit that i never had such an experience in any mmorpg before and it has left me quite discouraged with my character.

Is this normal? Is this going to change at higher level?

I know a lot of mmos are balanced on max level and the pvp leveling experience is just an afterthought, if anything, but frankly, quoting persona 5, i never saw it coming.

ToS PvP is really unbalanced - but that’s in another level.

Let’s look at what really happened:

Did they have Blessing buff from pardoners? What was the cast? Was it Zaibas (the lightning one that can be used two times)?

Zaibas does a good amount of multi-hits and with Blessing buff from Pardoners is more than enough to take down all your HP at Lv.130 due to additional flat damage (bypasses defenses) being applied many times.

Example: 10 hits * 1.5k * 2: 30000 damage from buffs alone if you take all hits.

This is either related to the Blessing + Sacrament buffs and/or armor types.

For example:
A) A Blunt weapon have +25% damage against Plate Armor. And you could have no bonus against their armor. If both have low damage weapons, this could add a little damage to the Krivis side.

B) You both could have bought buffs from different pardoners so the Krivis wins by having stronger buffs.

Kind of confident your “friend” has the attribute for daino. Daino changes basic attack into magic (unavoidable / int based krivis would benefit in auto attack), and the attribute add a line of damage in auto attack + the attack speed based on the daino level, otherwise higher stat pardoner buffs made the difference. And as a barbarian (future dopp i’m asuming) you don’t really have that much option in pvp. You often get kited and the lackage of sufficient tools and cc makes it a less desirable toon for pvp. If you’re aiming for a pvp related swordsman, murmillo takes the spot (although pve mobbing isn’t that good).

And the harsh reality no, this mmo isn’t balanced at all. You need to spend $$$ on good gears before pvp, and you need to have broken classes to rank pretty high on pvp (unless you’re a real god at pvp).

I hope this doesn’t dismay you though, there’s a lot more to than pvp. Considering you also have a friend playing, it should make up for a worthwhile time.

I would say it differs cause of many like I mean a lot of factors cause of the mechanics tho in pvp Wizards and Cleric rules as for they have burst /high like % yes archer and swordies have high % too but its not magic, can be blocked and dodge easily

Thank you for your replies, everyone.
Both LunarRabbit and Afflict seem to be on the money when it comes to her spec and what she used.

Well, it is still feels kind of discouraging but at least now i know i am not going crazy.
Thank you. again.

I guess this game is not really for me, so i will pass on it once again.
Nonetheless, i wish you all the best.
