DCUO - PvP Guide 2020

The TRUTH about everything you need to know for speccing in pvp. Where do you put skill points? Where do you NOT put skill points? Prec, Might or Hybrid? Here I explain all these questions along with my thoughts on the state of pvp.

1:00 how to spec 2:22 why pvp is broke 4:29 prec/hybrid/might 7:10 common tips 8:36 summary

[@billl3426]

I know you say this applies for arena pvp, but what about open world pvp? Also what build, loadout, power, etc is the best for beating a Mental Controller in open world pvp? I ask this because there are people abusing the broken mental power in open world and its annoying and hard as hell to kill them. I'm Ice, any suggestion for that to beat the mental too?

[@Tahhhiir]

Damn I never thought I could be educated in this game when I came down to pvp but I stand corrected

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Cheers bro 👊🏾

You have great info, I appreciate your work. Turn down the music!

Thanks man and yeah I’ll tone it down next time 🤦‍♂️ 🎵

This helped me so much! I didn’t even kno it was useless to spec pass 100. Thank you so much.

Great vid, hopefully this will show players to use weapon more then straight reckless spamming, ill be coming back soon

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Yeh hopefully and glad to hear your returning :D

[@undefeatedforcertain8457]

Here's my advice. Whatever role you're playing, spec for it accordingly, do not take shortcuts.. every point matters..

[@DiplomaTIC5]

My mind is blown… I didn’t know any of this. Can you do more vids on PvP? I’m trying to learn it now. Everything from the info you just shared to why it is so hard to get Q’d into matches with people even if you both Q for it. Or even all the different PvP modes and marks and stuff like that? That would be huge for me with the way you break things down and test them

[@dizzy1678]

thanks for the tips i will defo use them :)

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

No problem!

[@undefeatedforcertain8457]

Answer this how are you going to be a troller, and not spec vit n dom ? That's just dumb.

[@sankytasmith9160]

What about the pvp stats, loadouts, and the gear for fire powers?

[@karenamyx2205]

Do these rules apply to duels too? Or just arena??

[@thedevilo0o0]

Wow this is amazing. So wait can you let me know did i got this right ? With my Rage dps role I have to spec into crit power chance ? And the rest on might and power ? it's quite confusing to me

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Youre wrong. You should spec 20 into crit dmg chance then might and power. Even tho I say crit damages are useless in dps, they’re the only ones most powers can get use of. (Sidenote - crit powers are only relevant stats in troll role)

[@thedevilo0o0]

@@moodswingsdcuo6127 Thank you You are awesome

[@slyguythreeonetwonine3172]

Rage is literally the easiest ability to use. It's practically unblockable.

[@undeemed5537]

I’m going to respec my power from nature what would you suggest for pvp dominance ?

[@maximumcarnage2077]

This video actually confused me more than explain. So no stats are worth investing in? Precision builds no longer exist?

[@loryse.r4573]

Nice video bro ❤🔝💣💣

[@realityhits3022]

Man can you please help me out clear my confusion? I am still pve but i have all my sockets filled with generator mods except affinity. But my cell arent still active. Do i need to change to pvp gear to have active cells or do i require to pay with real money? I am using free account

[@mangowithsalt8488]

the only thing they have to fix in pvp is the dps buffs on pvp to make it even. Its normal that in mmorpg games on pvp they buff stats to make everybody even. Like for example Guild of wars 2 pvp everybody is max lvl and everybody has free gear and stats to choose. Super normal but they need to buff the dps imo

[@nanettesteward3411]

I agree. It's difficult to win against the other powers. Not to mention the munitions nerf. I guess too many people cried about munitions being too powerful. But now they made it so everyone is overpowering munitions. No buffs and no power 😞.

[@gr8vibezz375]

Anybody know how I go to pvp?

[@robinvm4698]

Do any weapons have an advantage over the others in pvp? I'm based in EU but I play on NA server which gives me a slight lag when I'm countering. What weapon would you advice in that case? Mainly for 4v4.

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

In terms of countering no particular weapon is better than any of the others it all depends on your reactions so go with whatever your most comfortable with. For 4s things are a bit more complicated but as a general rule you want to make sure you have a balance of Single target and multi target weapons between your team

[@robinvm4698]

@@moodswingsdcuo6127 Alright, thanks mate. What weapons are considered more multi target?

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Robin VM Brawling, dual wield, one handed

[@imslewd]

Hey love the video helps me understand how to spec and stuff for pvp right now I have all roles maxed for PvE and 540 SkillPoints so been looking into pvp would you recommend a good power to start with in getting my gears easier and win better when I don't have gears?

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Glad you enjoyed and wow that’s a lot of sp. The power I would recommend for the easiest wins is atomic tank but if you actually wanna have fun try atomic dps. I ran a tournament and someone got 3rd with it it’s pretty good

[@slyguythreeonetwonine3172]

Awesome! I can't hear a single word spoken because of the music!

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Yh I ought to tone it done a bit for next time 😂😂

[@FyntLMAO]

Dude just gave him 1bil casually

[@chiyodaichi]

How significant is soder + compound buff?

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Not much. But people generally disregard them in pvp because a difference is a difference + some people can get stronger buffs than others and you can only see that someone is buffed not by how much. Thats why its an unspoken rule to not buff - it just keeps things less complicated

[@valenciadoeswhatever278]

Wowww cool voiceover 😊

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Yea thanks glad u enjoyed ❤️

[@GustavoRibeiro-ff6rg]

Best power for pvp?

[@DcuoAcheronAsh]

You say hybrid is the worst Idk why. I use a hybrid prec build on a few of my toons and i destroy majority if people that come my way in arenas. Regardless of power and role. You may think its the worst but surely there are a people out there who use hybrid and would destroy mofos left and right.

[@senseigaming7850]

I think the point he’s making is that you would be better off as prec or superpowered

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Acheron Ash good for you that you can beat people with hybrid but you would be beating them much easier with one of the other focusses 😂

[@Madmike1587]

Im prec based and use my weapon like crazy..so hybrid actually works way better for me especially with power regin.

[@SkyGamerOfficial]

What exact stats do i need for my healer because I only use healer not dps nor tanking and controller :/

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Go superpowered. Spec crit damages then might and power

[@gokugam3rr]

ty

[@undefeatedforcertain8457]

Agree to disagree..

[@eazybutton12]

How would you spec rage tank pvp? Just switched.

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Focus superpowered, spec crit damage, then might and power next resto

[@krazzysnake7457]

Blw would you spec healing tanks like atomic, and fire?

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Yes, and thats why tanks require the most sp in pvp

[@coldlilla]

I have a gadgets troll for pvp! What should I spec into I have 142 sp

[@moodswingsdcuo6127]

Spec superpowered, max crit chance and crit damage, then 100 might and power

He's not telling players how to spec correctly for their roles, he's basically showing them how to Spam as a dps in support roles. This is a noob tactic..

[@Madmike1587]

I pvp religiously..and he not far off from the the truth when it comes to specs. And its just a vid to help give some knowledge about pvp a little bit lol..dont hate

[@karenamyx2205]

Spoken like someone who loses alot and needs something to blame it on instead of learning and getting better

[@teflontheicon433]

Nah, he has low sp, so he is giving a guide to those as such. But, the info on diminishing returns is far off. And his spec info should only be used to maximize low sp. Other than that it seems like he is a new ,pvp only guy that has a lot to learn. Daybreak was 5 years after mental and reflect pain. They had nothing to do with that move.

[@Snupe2001]

Lol I spec full might n power with my sp n buffs my might touched 6100 in arenas so your bugging about the 100 sp only

[@thegodfatherdcuo9358]

He clearly shows that your stats still increase if you spec past 100 sp but the point he’s making is that it’s not worth it, which is correct
