When did AO PvP become so stupid?

@64arc what’s the best lightning variation

you seem qualified to answer

last time i checked grounded pvp was terrible since your skills kept hitting the tall grass infront of you instead of the opponent

what kind of pvp civilization do you live in
im not pvper, and i frequently get ganked
EVEN I LAST MORE THAN 30-45 SECONDS

you probably wouldnt even survive 45 seconds in bed (okay thats actually mean im sorry)

idk about you, but max size mages, max attack speed warlocks and worst of all: grab moves stunning you in the ground doesnt sound like strategy to me

bruh wdym i consider myself lucky if theres a savant in any server i play
and i MAIN savant

bet.

How a pvp lasts 30-45 second? That means they dont how to parry/block and move. For example, if you just parry 5 times that pvp going to exceed 1 minute very easily. Also it is the community that is outraged when the airstalling was nerfed. You are correct about savants though, it recalls me the days of good ol’ chromalux :sob:

@64arc
consider your next words very carefully

This is a harder question than meets the eye - I main purple lightning myself, but there’s some factors we have to consider when we determine the “best lightning variant”.

Our first factor has to be - does it match what we’re running? For instance, anyone with more than half a brain would rather run Yellow Lightning with Thermo Fist instead of Blue or Purple, whereas you would rather run Blue or Purple instead of Yellow on a Conjurer. If you’re on a mage with Water as a second magic, then Yellow Lightning is a no-go, if you have Glass as a second magic, then Blue and Yellow both look horrid in combination, if your second magic is Magma, you better not be running Blue Lightning. The same goes for various other fighting styles, Iron Leg & Sailor Fist look best with Blue Lightning.

Our second factor is the colour itself - this one is obviously a landslide for both Blue & Purple in joint 1st, because of how in most cases Yellow Lightning looks visually displeasing unless in combination with something appropriate (e.g. my yellow lightning paladin w/ merciful).

So, what is my conclusion?
Objectively, it’s Blue.
In my head, I think it’s Purple.

man
i remember getting hunted by a guy in sameria
heres my advice
head to capital city
head to the tent residential area
align your character and go between the wall and building
run for a bit
climb out to see where the attacker is
log/run when youre sure they cant see you/combat tag is gone
profit

goated answer actually

one thing
I don’t play AO(I did for like 2 weekends just to finish the event and that was it)

then how did you see at least 10 fights that lasted over an hour

so we now have the holy Trinity of lightning conjurers, onion, 64arc, and electricboi.

theyre like rpg minibosses before you get to captain fulkes

nah dont worry
i just put it out here for any unfortunate non-pvper looking for tips and stumbling upon this thread

you have a point here, I will always prefer yellow lightning most but it does get outperformed in a few areas.

electricboi should change his name to fraudulentboy the way i see him on every other class except for lightning conjurer these days

before you get to the final boss, metal conj (imo i would really like to see a steel-strengthened ravenna war shield)

@electricboi757 tap into having one lightning mage, one savant, one warlock, one conj & one paladin
you dont need anything else

its just a big rectangle, nothing special sadly

how I imagine their bossfight intro cutscene would go:
