My fellow fixers,
In the last few days I've done some nice duelling on my fixer. Unfortunately, every time I win I'm apparently either gay, lame, a ***, or a combination thereof. Why? Apparently because my tactics suck.
A few examples.
1. vs AR-soldier, round 1.
Soldier pops AMS right at start of duel. Since I'm not a complete idiot I'm not going to waste myself against AMS which would mean insta-splat. Instead, I pop both DOF and Limber, corrupted flesh absorb and AAD-perk. I sit down to halve my heal-delta and have the soldier (try and) hit me until AMS runs out. I perk soldier with everything I got and win.
2. vs AR-soldier, round 2.
Soldier again pops AMS, but this time comes prepared for the beforementioned tactic and brings some more DD (could've also brought aimed shot). I won't survive standing there for 1m20s, so I use blindring and Implode to drain nano. I root him and run awaaay and hide. When the AMS timer runs out I run back and alpha, and win.
3. vs Shade.
We both open with DOF, shade uses stun and alpha's to 50% of my health. As soon as stun runs out I kite until I can land root. Then I take my time to land LICC, and alpha shade to death (while spamming root to keep it refreshed and in case it breaks). I win.
4. vs Shade, but agreed not to use roots on my side, and not to use stuns on his side.
I use LICC, spam alpha and win.
5. vs Crat (wasn't a duel, but flagged pvp)
I open by snaring both pets, and pop LICC on crat, crat pops evade debuffs on me. I hit both DOF and Limber hoping I can kill him fast enough, slugs go up and so does MOTR, I kill crat while his evade pets can't come close to me. I win.
All of the above tactics involve rooting, kiting or at least running away from danger until we can position ourselves better against the enemy. To my knowledge, pretty much exactly what the Fixer is. We don't have huge AR to eat through anything, we're not soldiers. We aren't enforcers, so we can't be expected to just stand there and take the damage. We're not docs/crats/engi's with huge AR debuffs, the only debuff we really have is LICC (to make up for our already crappy AR).
Simply put, we're not a profession that can press Q, alpha against anything (that isn't a keeper), so we have to be smart. Unfortunately, my ideas apparently make me an *******, a ****** or a lamer who nobody wants to duel a second time.
Anyone got any PvP strats that doesn't make you attracted to people of the same gender?
