Need training

Blocking is mostly muscle memory. After some practice, you'll get to the point where you don't have to think about which direction to block. Just stick with it for a while. Duel is good practice for blocking, since it only takes about ten seconds after dying to get started on a new duel. Just be sure to take a break if you find yourself becoming unreasonably frustrated.

Personally, I played siege rather than battle when I was first learning the game. Getting killed within the first minute of a three minute battle isn't really much fun.

The real frustration starts when you get decent at blocking, but you haven't quite figured out footwork ('What? How did he hit me? I swung first!'). Keep practicing, and you'll get past that too.

DO NOT Duel phyrex with his spear. I did that last time and trying to follow what he was doing with it kinda gave me a headache. Trying to follow his feints for longer than 5 minutes may cause an epileptic attack.

Wait, what? After four year you can say you are playing piano. Saying "I'm learning piano.", makes me think you played it maximum 1 day-1 week now.

Go to the Nditions duel server its native, its has different skill levels of bots, also it has a naked bot that does not die, stand toe to toe with it and only block, time how long you last against it, and try and increase it every time.

There is a chap on the server cooled Hideyoshi, he is the admin, ask him for a few tips. he knows them all. Once you get decent on Nditions go to the crpg duel servers.

Nditions server is better to learn on as its a level playing field, everybody is the same. on the crpg duel servers you will be fighting fully loomed morons wiith knock down weapons and pole stagger.

I wish more beginners did this. We'd get a lot less wimps and morons.

Good thread, kudos for taking the initiative. I'd like to know what continent you're on. I'd like to keep an eye on you if you're NA.

It's always fun to see improvement over time.

Your avatar reminds me of ever quest PVP

If you can find a faction willing to play with you to show you the ropes, or just maybe a person or two and get into ventrilo or teamspeak with them.  That way whenever you have a question (you will bound to have many questions) you can ask them.

If I didn't have my bro to bug every time I had a question with single player M&B or crpg in particular, it would have been a lot longer learning process.

My 1v1 skills are noob at best.... yet i have much experience in gvg across many games and can see already the potential in this. I have commanded 60+ in pvp engagements before and this game takes the cake with strategy possibilities.

Looking at the videos i can find of big battles though i must say that most still seem undisciplined. Cant wait to join a faction, or something, for some strat gvg battles.
