Does anyone use his PVE char. in PVP ?

is it noob action of using your PVE char in PVP to save slots in your account ?
i test my builds of my PVE char. in PVP ..sometimes i win and sometimes i lose.
does anyone do this also ?i know the limits and boundries of using PVE char. in PVP ..it's not like when u make fast PVP char. and get into action as soon as u finished building it but it makes me proud sometimes that i won with my PVE char. against your PVP already made up char.

i hope most of replies to this thread are PVP hardcore players to know what they think about this...THX

I do, since I have my slots full and occasionally I'd like to try PvP as well. I've had a lot of fun mostly in RA with my mesmer and ranger.

pvp chars can always have perfect equipment. pve chars often do not. Hence it makes sense to make a pvp char for pvp.

Why would I ever use a pvp character? I have spent ages building the perfect pve characters that absolutely own in pvp...

Besides, last I looked you can't get green items for a pvp only character.

I use my PVE monk in all areas, (except maybe in TA). I have 560 health and 53 energy, depending on the choice of 4 weapon slots available which I can toggle between depending on the situation.

I see no point in making an inferior PVP character.

im a bit 50-50. i use a pvp char to play a char i dont have in pve. but if i know my pve char is just as good as any pvp char, then ill use my pve char.

My warrior is fully up to pvp standard with multiple helms/weapons/armor so I use that to pvp. I wish I could use my monk though, I still need to find a good Healing staff.

I do PvP with my PvE characters, but not all the time. I keep one slot open for when a group needs a certain combination which cannot be achieved by my PvE characters.

unless you already have all the perfect items+mods, which makes this a moot point

Tbh I use a bit of both. I have sometimes known my PvE characters to do better in PvP than PvP characters, but I think this is due to being more experienced/familiar with my PvE character (i.e. energy amount, health, skill location on bar etc).

PvP characters give you flexibility and unless you've been playing PvE very extensively you wont be able to match them. If you want to get serious, you will need a PvP slot. Not being able to play 2 primaries in PvP is a huge handicap.

I use my PvE monk in PvP. I've got the sup vigors all around but since I'm a 15k armor maniac and I have 5 chars so I haven't gotten around to getting a sup absorb for my warrior so it can stomp things in PvP too.

EDIT: removed the red engines

9 HP won't make a bit of difference :O

Actually, it all comes down to armor. PvE chars can swap a set of armor anytime they like in any situation, unlike PvP are only allowed 1 set.

PvE warriors can take 4 or more weapons with them. And several shields or offhand artifacts. Like shields to reduce conditions if you see trappers up ahead.

I use my PvE warrior, and my PvE monk all the time, it is MUCH quicker to swap secondaries and items/runes with PvE characters than it is with PvP ones. Plus, I can have different sets of armor for different purposes, which is an advantage over PvP.

I often go into PvP with my PvE characters. Even though I don't have the best weapons/runes, I find I can still compete with PvP characters. On a few occasions I'v gone toe-to-toe with a PvP warrior who had superior vigor + superior absorbtion and a perfect axe, and I still beat him even though my warrior only had minor runes and a clean axe with no mods. I guess it just goes to show that this game is all about skill, not equipment

on the rare occasions that i pvp, yes i do. Because 1. i do it so little i have no faction to unlock skills for a pvp char and 2. because i have 2 accounts with one of each primary so I have most of the skills unlocked on them. Even though I do have one spare slot on each account... lol.

I use my PvE monk for PvP play. But it fully battle-ready. I've put considerable amount of time to get all skills & equipment to get it ready for pvp.

I'll keep it short on this topic:
- there are advantages to using a pve char in pvp
- for trying/testing diverse builds, a pvp char is often better. a pve char can deal with more stable builds.
- the resources to prepare a pve toon fully for pvp should not be underestimated.

I do a lot of PvP and I have never made a PvP char except one which I am using as a mule toon. PvP chars are nice if you want to try a class in PvP you have no advanced PvE toon for, but that's it. If you have all primary skills on the class you want to play there is really no reason not to use an RP character in PvP. You can buy missing skills just as easily as a PvP toon can unlock them. Honestly, if someone says PvE characters are inferior to PvP characters, don't listen to them. Those people are clueless.

PvP chars are made for people who hate to play PvE and for those trying a lot of different builds in one evening. The rest of us can do without.

PvE characters should be used in PvP, unless you haven't yet completed the game with that character yet. I agree to Fantus's point at:

Plus, I like my 15k armor!
