PvP build needs an advice

I mainly playing PvP the last 3 weeks and it works mediocre. After trying a lot of builds i made a own paragonboard, but lösing against barbs and other roques (sometimes).
Maybe anyone is a good pvp’ler and would help me.
in the following link, there is my gear with all the stats and aspeects i use.

Thank you

edit: made a mistake with the 2H aspect, changed it to the aspect of corruption

Tricksters is wasted spot if you are TB.

Temerity is not good for PvP. In testing, you can start with max barrier and a barb will still tear right through it. You are better off getting max DR/Armor/Life on pants instead.

Hard to tell on the planner how many rare node bonuses you have unlocked with stats, that’d be the next place to deep dive. You are also probably stretching too far going to 7 boards.

Finally, condemnation will not perform as well as perfect yellow. Condemnation will own any PvE that enters into the field, but against anyone with correct PvP defensive gear condemnation will not do enough damage against them. 96-98% DR stats will just shrug it off. i.e. if you test condemnation against regular dungeon build players you will find it very powerful, but against real PvP competition it is too weak to use.

More ranks in deadly venom.

Remember top barbs on the field will have probably 25k health so you need do enough damage go get through all of that HP and probably high armor and DR as well.

Edit: I don’t think the Safeguard node actually works in PvP. I know the documentation says players are elites, but I don’t think they are actually treated as elites in current 1.1.4 gameplay, so you are wasting points there other than for armor.

Edit2: Also consider something like board 4 to board 2. Basically any board that you go left and right but not top should be board 2. This will save you a few nodes in the extreme game play where every node counts. (You will need them against the stunning/double swing barbs!!!)

Thanks for your answer.
Maybe the new build wasn’t saved right, because i dont have anymore condemation or the tricksters aspect in the build (also in the link i posted).

this shouuld be the right one.
the bonusses from the rare nodes are all unlocked. i have 615 strenght and 559 intelligence. With the hearts in amu and rings i have around 9100 armor. and 9200 is max cap.
also changed the exploid glyph with closer.

I don’t know. still shows trickster and condemnation (but also shows 1 sword and 2 daggers, so who knows)

Let’s talk a little about game play then.

I find the top level Barb vs Rogue fight to be a bit like basket ball pump fake offense/defense. Whoever flenches first loses the fight.

So the sequence goes something like this:
-Rogue imbues and approaches Barb.
-If Barb doesn’t DR shout, rogue poison will kill Barb and end fight.
-If Brab DR shouts right before you cast TB, then you need to run away while the shout expires.
-The moment DR shout (or berserk) expires, then you turn around poison and end the game.

It’s a delicate dance and timing. If you try to tank into the DR shout and then they Berserk shout you are definitely losing the fight.

Life also looks too low, probably need 16-18k range. (My screen says you have 13.6k right now)

Good luck on your journey!

PVP advice for a rogue….

Well you can “cheese” and go all out poison TB and one shot melt anything.

Or there are multiple other builds that take skill, which do you want to do?

I refrained from using what all the other rogues used for a long time, but wow what a difference. Forget timing and skill, just imbue, hit them once and run.

It gets old when I’m taking out three guys at once. I’d rather take a little longer and have a close fight instead of basically cheating.

Let’s be honest, it’s cheating. If you need to use it, it’s a skill issue then, because poison imbue TB is NOT needed for PvP as I’ve played without it for months just fine.

Some dude named Fowl was just cheesing pvp zone with poison TB today, until everyone left. It just ruins it for all the classes that can’t cheat which is all of them but rogue…

He even raged quit after I killed him without imbues, just perma concealment and rapid fire, even though he killed me multiple times before that……these are people who must be used to losing and are now power hungry. Their fragile ego is shattered when a non OP build beats them…
