New PvP character
bhofmann
I want to create a new PvP character. I am trying to create a War/Elem with an axe shock build. I am able to choose (from drop down menu) a War/Elem for the character but with no starting Elementalist abilities. When created my warrior always has a sword with points in swordsmanship ability and "sword" abilities like final thrust etc. I can take the points out of swordsmanship and place them in axe mastery but how do I get the axe abilities and axe at start and eliminate the sword abilities? Also how do I get an axe to start? Do Elementalist abilities (ie shock) come later?

you can make armor and weapon in your inventory panel and you can make builds the same as you can do in pve by dragging the skills. Your pvp character has all the skills unlocked on your account.

Here's how I understand it works:
1. Make a new pvp-only warrior.
2. Notice that it comes with a sword and a "basic" skillbar. That's just how new warriors are built. Throw all of it away. Srsly, dump all the skills, drag the sword into the trash.
3. Use the dropdown you mentioned to select "Warrior/Elementalist"
4. Notice that you now have Air, Earth, Fire and Water Magic Attributes.
5. Use the up/down arrows to take points out of your Swordsmanship, and to add points to Axe Mastery and Air Magic and whatever else you need. Drag skills onto the skillbar as you like.
6. OR, just click the little "Disk" button at the top left, select "Template Code", and paste into the new window the template you'd like to use (copy it from PvXWiki or whatever). Click "Load" and BAM, all your attributes and skills are set.
7. There's a "PVP Equipment" button next to the picture of your character. It's by his head. Click this to open up the PvP Equipment panel, which you can use to conjure free weapons and armor for yourself.
Enjoy!

Well to create weapons and armor you have to open the PvP-Equipment Panel (J by default). As for skills, elementalist or otherwise, you'll have to unlock them on your account by trading in Balthazar Faction at the Priest of Balthazar. Skills can also be unlocked by playing PvE.
