Does anyone use his PVE char. in PVP ?

i always use my pve chars for the very little pvp i do. saves on space...plus more customizable

wouldnt call it noobish...would call it smart

PvE all the way. You only need one slot for a PvP character, other than that I'm all PvE.

And for most people who say PvE have inperfect equipment, thats what greens are for............

Well there are some advantages to playing as a PvE toon compared to a PvP one.

I know for a fact that some top guilds use PvE chars to gain certain advantages.

Mainly having a larger selection of equipment to chose from and being able to swap armor and runes on the fly.

Heck till the last patch most top guilds where running PvE warriors to use the HoD hex Helm.

Its easier to use a PvE toon these days with the introduction of perfect green weapons and the general drop of prices to get perfect equipment and mods.

The classes with the most advanatges to running PvE is Warrior(More weapons, -Blindness shield, Being able to switch helms), Ranger(Larger Bow selection), Monk (being able to choose from a larger selection of equipment and armor swapping.)
From what I know Monks should have 3 or 4 sets of equipment to swap to depending on situations that can be a huge advanatge comapared to players that dont (Ie -7 energy set to protect against energy denial, +30 energy set for emergancies, 40% (well techincally 36% )recharge set if they are using oob or edrain for energy management, a high hp set to protect against spikes)

But anyways you should always have one slot reserved for a PvP character they are versatile in being able to quickly play any build

Depends, say made a necro to do Taint and MM and Orders Fairly easy to get PERFECT weapons hence the green items.

Say ranger spike, many green bows can be used.

As goes for ALL CHARACTERS.

As for GVG and HOH, I say make a PVP character cause i doubt each warrior you made has a sup vigor and sup absorb and any other charcter on you PVE slots.

Harder you try can't get a -5 energy focus unless transfer from PVE.

On the occasions that I do get a yen to pvp, I have used my pve characters quite effectively in several of the arenas, mainly my elementalist and mesmer. I do plan on making a pvp only character later on; but right now..no slots.

I just don't see the point in a pvp character unless you are brand new to the game & don't want to wait.

I only have pve char's & I use them in all aspects of the game, (mostly gvg now), they are runed/equiped up to the hilt. Using a pvp ready-made would be kinda silly for me don't you think?

I use my PvE ele/mes for when the guild decides to GvG. I have unlock all the skills and capped almost all the Elites so I can usually set her up any way the guild needs. I think its is a sense of accomplishment to win a battle in PvP with my trusty PvE Ele.

I use sorta both.... if we need a ranger I always go pve since my ranger is only missing like 4 skills... if i go any other class its pvp since my pve warrior dont have alot of elites unlocked and he and my ranger are the only -Set- charactors and will never be deleted.

also my ranger doesnt have perfect equipment but as you all know you dont need perfect equipment to get anywere in this game... sundering is crud, elemental mods can get countered... fortitude to help as much as it seems...condition mods require specific builds... My rangers best bow is 14-27 =P and yes I do have greens.... =P

I ALWAYS use my PvE monk for PvP.

PvE characters can actually have some advantages in PvP such as certain items and armors. Able to change into differnt armors, runes, ect. PvP players have 1 set armor, at least up to 2 weapons and 2 offhands. On the offhand you have all max mods and max runes. Of course you have to unlock these. Which in thus if you don't do much farming or faction farming for these. It is better to just go with the PvE characters.

Same here, my ele/me is setup to play any element at lvl 16 skill at the drop of a hat. I have also capped every elite for this guy...I've never met the pvp ele I can't wipe the floor with.

Yes i definately do,
MY main char is my warrior but i tend not to use him in pvp; only pve
But my other 2 pve's are my lvl 20 ranger and monk which i use in pvp aswell as pve
I use my monk as any build but my ranger mainly interupt cos it feels so satisfying when ya interupt an eles meteor shower

My mesmer and monk are both PvE chars. I joined a team once and someone said 'omg we have a preset skills mesmer' just by looking at me

I use them since I have 4 pve characters and there is no way I'm going to delete one of them.

I use two of my three PvE characters for PvP because I invested in them. No reason not to.

That said so long as you have one slot free for PvP you can make whatever character you need, when you need.

The thing is though greens are not perfect. I look at my PvP boon-prot monk and the staff I have setup and there is no way to easily acquire one in PvE. Not Kephket's Refuge. Not the Yakslapper. Not the smiting staff. The only way it could possibly happen is if someone finds a req 9-10 gold hold staff with the 20/20 prot mods. If that happens, what do you think the price of it would be?

Let's look at axes. The standard PvP axe is something like a Vampiric axe of fortitude. Now no greens have this - Victos (sundering/fortitude), Razorstone (furious/axemastery), Tanzit's Cleaver (cruel/fortitude).

So where is your perfect PvE item?

That said the difference is marginal at best, but everynow and then it will pay off, and you play PvP to win. I'll take any minor advantage I can get.

What do you have on it then? +5 insightful, 20/20 prot, +20% enchant seems perfect for a boon-prot monk to me...

I use my PvE chars in PvP and it always works out good.. you just have to have some good items that can match the PvP items..and u have to know what your doing

I use both, I like to use my PvE characters, but if I need a build based off of a primary that's not one of my PvE characters, then having that one PvP slot to play around with is nice.

I use both Pve Charicters and PvP. As stated a few posts back, its only really necissary to make the PvP charicter if your current PvE slots cannot fulfill what is needed. But imo if one has the perfect weapons, and armor runed up same as a PvP charicter, i dont see why not?

Alot of guild battles these days you start to see more and more PvE chareicters doing battles. For Instance [iGi] uses their mix of PvE and PvP charicters. I dont think it makes a difference if you have what your build needs.
