If you took my advice to download x-ray finding enemies is easy, and with the cave finder mode you can see the layout of their base.
Hiding then springing out is the best way to go.
its mostly a intimidation tool, nevertheless it works sometimes. defending is another thing, throw down some fire at the entrance to your base but make sure your foes cannot jump over it. :)ĭon't use lava of fire in a skirmish, you will only hurt yourself in the scramble. * you can use splash potion of damage in the spawn zone. * a quick tip, if you only have one splash potion of swiftness or something have everyone jump into a 1x1 hole then use it. Now you stab him again, and repeat this strategy, until the dude is dead. You strike 3-4 times before you run off like a pussy, then your teammate hits him from the back like a true boss, while this happens you need to run back at the enemy. What happens is one person attacks head on while another is flanking and a bit behind you. Unless a plugin like Hero's is installed this should be avoided (I will touch on heros in a another post)īack in my pvp days my guildys and I preformed a tactic called juggling, a way to minimize damage to you and maximize damage output. Then you take all the enemy's aggro and damage while your party rushes to your aid. For instance, you are in a raiding clan of four people and you have the diamond gear, what do you do? You run in all hotshot like. No matter how boss you are at pvp under no circumstances should you take aggro (unless their is a plugin where tanking is encouraged). Enchantments are also a massive bonus to damage output and surviveability, from your chest plate to your sword they are invaluable. Getting the right enchantments is key what your looking for in a sword is Sharpness, Fire Aspect, Knockback, in armor you want protection most of all but the other derived protection enchants are fine. Another good thing to do is sprint at your enemy then swing, this causes a knokback effect and would allow for a smother escape. Attacking with a sword is preferable and jumping and swinging on the drop is important, this causes criticals. For beginners you swing your sword to kill people, then take their stuff.
