Hello ! I am also horrible at pvp ! But I love it . Enough that taking down a group of 3 resulted in me recording . So , here ' s what I ' ve been learning . As a few mentioned , lag is typically an issue and violates the intention of a party . So it ' s doubly risky given how if you fail , you give them exactly what they want . The clear best solution to an attack is to dodge . In fact the dodge seems to be too good , in that it is far and above a better option unless you just want a trade . Given this durstified meta , you can expect your enemies to rely on the same . This makes spacing everchanging mess , so predicting not just an enemy action , but location is key . You have to know how far and how fast both you and the other guy can hit and when they will attempt to . It can be , grating , waiting for an enemy to simply make a mistake , but in some events that is literally all you can do . I would also suggest watching pvp breakdown videos , preferably ones where the video maker isn ' t just stroking his ego . Also , I ' ve found a couple recently that break down particular weapons . Which is a great thing to learn too , if you master one particular moveset , you can translate what you learned to a new weapon . Outside of that , throw yourself at invasions , prepare for the worst , but try to learn as much as you can , it ' s not so terribly different from learning a boss . It ' s just a boss that has a random weaponmoveset , that ' s all ! Edit I welcome criticism here , as I said , I am horrible !
