PvP

The worst feeling in life? Getting pwnt by noobs in PvP. When you know they're worse than you, but then somehow you end up losing anyway. I don't know wtf is wrong with me, but somehow I just end up choosing the worst PvP character possible in every fucking game. Maybe it's due to my preference for the better-looking characters as opposed to consideration for their actual skill and class. 

WHOO RED HAIR LET'S PICK THIS GUY.

I remember choosing a swordsman back in my earliest MMO. I had read far too many Chinese novels about kung fu to be interested in anything else apart from swordsman. So it really sucked when the swordsman class had the worst PvP set out of all classes- and that healers were in fact the best at PvP, because they could poison the shit out of you and then guard infinitely. Guard was an action which was hax in that game- normal damage in the 10-thousands, and when you use guard you take less than 30dmg. Not to mention how healers can heal themselves. Then the game got a re-balance: the swordsman class had a skill which could OHKO almost anything. The downside? The skill was learnt at lv100. I was like, lv46, and I thought I'd hit my maximum capacity. I'm not a big fan of grinding.

It's ironic now that I say that, because the next MMO I played was full of grinding. This time I played an English version, and I decided to go with the mage class, because when you hit your 4th class change (Archmage) you look pretty fucking hot. Then I started on my long journey- to no where. The mage class was the worst fucking class possible. Now mage usually means massive AoE (area of effect) damage, long range, low HP and defense. This game had all that--- EXCEPT THE DAMAGE WASN'T EVEN THAT HIGH. The stupid fucking monsters can be attracted towards you based on how much damage you've done to them and how far you are away from them--- then they run towards you. Literally, run. Movement speed insane. So if you randomly cast an AoE move, you pull 5 monsters towards you- no, the AoE is not strong enough to kill them, and you don't have enough mana to cast more spells to kill them. Why? Because the skill cool down system is stupid as hell. The monsters take out your HP faster than you can spam potions to heal yourself. Given the horrible game, I don't know how I got to lv96 (3rd class, Archmage at lv131). 

The current MMO I play- great fun- but once again I chose the worst class possible. I went back to the swordsman class- but I saw that it branched out- and I could wield both sword and magic. So I thought to myself: OH COOL and went with that. Little did I know that I just stumbled on the worst PvP class. Again. It's not that you can't PvP with this class- it's just hard. For every other class you can just spam a key or use a cheap-skill. Not for this class. For some reason, the combo chain of this class is long as hell, and it's a pain to execute. What I'm saying is--- I just get pwnt. 

Sure, I could blame it on my own lack of skill--- but fuck that. I'm the best.
