Hey, just wondering how many of you use PvE chars in PvP. I personally like using a PvP only character since it's much easier to acquire skills and items. How about you?

I use my PvE characters when I can, but use PvP characters if I need to play something my PvE Characters cannot.

Mostly I use pve chars in AB and RA, but in TA/HA/HB I use pvp chars ONLY (so lets say in real pvp)

I use PvP chars. I bought unlock packs, so I can roll anything.

PvP characters. The PvP Skill and Item unlock packs mean I can use optimal equipment and skills. Whereas a PvE character will rarely ever have the exact perfect equipment for any task in PvP.

certain PvE characters i've spent a LOT of money on getting different armor sets and shield sets i use for PvP (HA mostly). When i HB thats always a PvP. most of the time i just roll a PvP character when i have to.

I only use 1 or two of my PvE toons in PvP (that being my assassin, ranger, and am currently working on getting my warrior up to PvP specs, so that would make it 3 when he's ready). Other than that, I roll PvP toons because I have a lot more skills unlocked than my PvE characters actually have.

For some reason my PvE chars do better, even if their runes and weapons arent maxed.

It's like they have a luck factor.

i 'never' use pvp characters. i always pve with pvp characters. why? because i love prestige. i love to show off my weapons/armor as i dominate in pvp. all my pve characters are 100% ready for pvp and i never have to worry about anything skillwise or what-have-you. why? well.. let's just say 1.7 mil balthazar faction so my account is 100% unlocked without ever having to buy a pvp kit from the ingame store. ^^

I'd like to use my PvE characters (like my armors better... yeah, I like showing off sometimes) but I'm too lazy to get most PvE ready. So in general, until I have the right equipment and skills, I reroll a PvP. I gather my stuff, then play on a PvE instead.

However, sometimes I feel like rerolling my PvP slot, either because I want other looks, want to setup everything quickly or just a funny name I thought of.

Let's think about this. Player vs Environment in a Player vs Player setting. Seems to me a Player vs Player character only makes sense. But then again I like to win in HA and GvG.

I use PvE characters when their equipment is up to it and they have all the skills I need. Mostly, this means sin, ranger, and monk are PvE and anything else I want to do is with a PvP char.

Then how come top GvG guilds use PvE chars in PvP?

Anyhow, I mainly use PvP chars, but that's because I basically have no PvP ready PvE chars atm... Most aren't even level 20

Really? Thats odd, i have around 1.7 million balth faction as well and still don't have everything unlocked from all the campaigns and EoTN. I have mostly all the skills, weapon upgrades, and runes unlocked but not everything.

I only use my PvE characters when they're fully PvP ready and have everything that a PvP character would have for my build so I'm not putting myself at a disadvantage for looking pretty.

depends on what profession. warrior, mesmer, monk, rits, and sins, i have every primary skill (and on my warrior almost every secondary/elite) along with many many armor sets, to create multiple paths for my pve's to use. any other profession, or the occasional really off build, i roll pvp (everything unlocked).

My dervish, monk and elementalist have runes/weapons for most builds so I use them. PvP chars for everything else.

I UAXed at only 1m. It's because I saved a lot of faction by doing Skill Hunter and playing PvE in general (rune, item, regular skill unlocks). Could have been even less, I already had about half the classes UAS when I started Skill Hunter.

I have a full set of PvE characters with nearly 3 years of work put into them. Of course I use them for PvP, and with all-max gear including alternatives for different builds, why the hell wouldn't I?

I use my PvE warrior to tank ABs.

Now before you say "But Bryant, this is PvP! Why are you trying to tank?" I'll let you know that all I need to wear is FoW armor and a Kurzick helm and those Luxons try to hunt me down like crazy to try and pwn the "Kuzick Nub," ignoring each and every monk they see.

In all seriousness, I use PvP characters whenever I can. I use PvEs when I'm bored.

Haha so true. I use to play the odd RA match in my FoW armour. You wouldn't believe the amount of attention I'd get.

Mostly PvE. Almost all my PvE chars were geared for PvP, so I used them. Before the armor swapping nerf, PvE chars actually had an advantage (and quite a big one in some builds).

I normally use pvp characters but in some cases like for my monk, I already have the 4 weapon sets for em. So why not actually look GOOD while you pvp :P
