Come Join Standard HLD PvP

With every Leo 1v1 "Daily" - I end up meeting quite a few people who are interested in PvP but intimidated by the perception there are insurmountable odds in becoming PvP viable. Our conversations always end with a sense of disillusionment by the prospective PvP'er, with regards to Standard HLD PvP.

If any prospective PvP'ers are out there (and took the time to check out the forums) I just want to say: no, it's not very difficult to get into PvP and a person does not need to rely on exploitative measures to defeat opponents.

It just takes practice. We all (or most?) started from nothing. Most successful PvP'ers had to spend time getting their ass kicked to finally ask why - then spend the time answering - why not?

A caveat - there will always be builds/chars we cannot defeat, regardless of items, skills, etc... simply because of the sheer diversity of builds means there's always a counter to everything.

Despite my aforementioned statement, PvP is really fun - even the dick-measuring.

On a personal note, I've learned more about building PvE characters in PvP than I ever did mapping. Human opponents can improvise in ways that map mods cannot compensate for - PvE, in my mind, will always be a poor substitute to the 'build' gauntlet that PvP provides.

So please, despite whatever reservations you may hold about PoE's PvP community, if you've taken the time to enter this forum it means there's still hope...

Begin the arduous but fulfilling task that is building a PvP char -

Get your guild-mates to start PvP'ing -

Start your own PvP guild -

Or just queue up in 1v1 for a few hours.

ah you are the guy cartigai or sth like that.

and you hate me because probably you lost 4-0 to me in total 20 seconds. Lol, dude, poe pvp doesnt mean anything, we just like to beat EA players here and there and abuse the shit ouf of skill gems/abilities as much as we can to be able to achieve that.

i saw your pvp videos and your guilds, you like to humiliate and make fun of others, no worries, at least im not such a guy, when you lose to me, only things you can hear can be the things about how you can improve your build to beat me.

There's plenty more reasons to dislike you than just you beating someone in pvp lol but go ahead and toot your own horn I guess

I don't really know you, much less "hate" you.

Over the past couple of years PvP'ing, I've lost countless times, to countless different people, while using several (theory-crafted) builds. I imagine if I continue to PvP I will also continue to lose to countless different people... etc. That's part of the fun of PvP natural selection - if winning was guaranteed, there'd be no point in queueing.

As far as ridicule and humiliation of others?

Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house.

But thanks anyway, for poisoning my attempt to make a positive thread about Standard HLD PvP.

Guys, guys, there's no reason to be this hostile all the time, you're all worthless compared to me anyway. Yall might as well just get along eh?

Until they fix Zerphy, there is no real reason to pvp in std. I see more and more of those every day and that's even sadder than using EA.

I blame Markuz for showcasing this stuff to the brain dead crowd, at least before it was just Shin.

ya pvp is worthless atm

There is a much higher chance that anything will ever happen to it if it's getting overused, as we se after I posted it, instead of one guy using it and not telling about it. It was unknown to most people for a pretty long time, it was only a matter of time someone made it public.

The braindead crowd is still not that strong with it, they tend to be squishy, so there are options to workaround them, it's just not suitable / confortable to everyone, or requires too much of a build change (embrace the oneshotmeta).

As I see it sarn was already in a bad shape with offscreeners, trappers, miners oneshotting everybody, zerphi at least brings a change from the other direction.
