Hi, I am more of a PvE person, but I wanted to try out PvP. If you have a good PvP build I would appreciate if you could link some.
Thx, M C Shorty

Firstly, welcome to the world of PvP!

Have you checked out the Gladiator's Arena? some cool builds to be seen there, and you can search for a build that you would like to try. (don't get asking for builds there though)

Also check out the PvX Wiki, also has some good builds for you to try.

If your new, i'd recommend you try out the Shock Axe build. (search PvX)

Don't forget to make up your own build from time to time!

Good luck PvPing.

The PvX wiki is definitely a good start

Always bring a Elite.
if your doing Random Arenas/Team Arenas never for get a res signet.
communicate, try a pvp guild with vent/teamspeak so you can cordinate and get advice.

Well, when i started doing RA i realized that the build is only a little part of the big problem of PvP. The biggest parts are how to use that build, how to move in the battlefield, and learning base tecniques such as kiting, weapon swapping, linebacking etc.

So i suggest you to start choosing a build (search the guru or PvX for examples) and try to learn to use it in a lot of different situations. Also try different characters, because to be effective in PvP you have to know how everyone in the battlefield is going to behave. Remember that in PvP, running the best build in the world is less important than knowing how to use your build. If you enter an arena with a completely new build, probably you'll have a lot of problems, even if it's a "good" build, so don't mind making practice with it.

For the PvP tecniques, i suggest you to search the guru..there's a lot of useful threads here.

Mainly this. Asking for builds here or in Gladiator's is against the rules though, so I suggest you'd go there, check the stickies, and ask questions as necessary.

Happy hunting.
