A guide to PvB
Stat points
To refresh you again:
Rage increases weapon damage
Control reduces weapon damage you take
Constitution increases max hp and resistance to procs.
How should your spare stat points after satisfying equip requirements be placed?
(http://wiki.chronicles-of-blood.com/index.php/Allocating_stat_points)
The answer is simple - ALL SPARE POINTS INTO CONSTITUTION
Why, you ask? Rage has less and less effect late game, control does nothing to increase your boss killing speed; but constitution helps you resist procs (not to mention the max hp helps you avoid dying and losing 60BL). Resisting a spellbreaker/disrupt/dispel is far more advantageous than hitting just a little harder per hit.
Talent tree
Basically, when making a talent tree build, you need to decide the following:
1.) Do I want to focus on power with the pvb tree, or do I really want the 15sec BL regen (and 1% pve loot) in the scourge tree?
Personally, I recommend the pvb tree for its power, but there are cases when you would opt for the scourge tree:
- you are planning to grind a lot of pve for a long period of time
- the 15 sec BL (especially if you are a non/light donor) is tempting
If opting for the scourge tree, your talent tree would look something like:

2. Do you want to have points in duelist?
Deciding this is fairly straightforward – how much do you like pvp, and how much will you benefit from the extra 3/3 bane/wards?
If you do decide to go duelist, your tree will look like:
Insert picture here
3. Do you like heal?
If you use heal a lot (in pve or pvp), your tree will look like:
Insert picture here
4. I don’t need that. I just want full power!
Then this is the tree for you:

A guide to PvB
This guide will cover the basics of progressing in pvb. It will often make references to certain builds or items – in that regard, referring to the build making guide is highly recommended:
http://www.kongregate.com/forums/153-chronicles-of-blood/topics/324708-build-making-a-guide?page=1
So, what exactly is PvB?
PvB obviously stands for player versus boss. Bosses a player can face can be divided into:
Epic bosses – these are one on one fights for the player to tackle alone. Each region and portal has its own random bosses. These bosses will be the focus of this guide, for the most part.
Coven bosses – these are basically team efforts, for the player to tackle with other players working together (although strong PvB players are often enough to ‘solo’ a boss). the loot is pretty mundane, and being good at coven bosses is only a question of maximizing damage potential; thus there’s not much to be said here.
So, why should I kill bosses?
Bosses.drop.phat.lewt, in short. The loot from bosses is vital late game – plenty of crafting materials, equips, scrolls and WoCs are only obtainable via bossing. A lot of these have huge relevance late game.
Coven bosses also provide (besides boots) gems and blood badges which are the only way to purchase certain equips as well as ghost inks/more gems.
OK, bossing is great! How will this guide really help me?
this guide aims to help in both ‘macro’ decisions – those involving resource management and planning which items to get first, when to do bossing, as well as ‘micro’ decisions – how to use what you have to make the best build possible, and how to deal with specific bosses.

PvP already gives a tremendous amount of rubies – Femme Fatale are a new introduction to the game and thus disenchant for only 1 ruby each to prevent imbalance

The ideas I find bad in this game
PvP at the level cap is much more complicated than you think …. the pvp guide shows some ideas that are prevalent and used.
It’s true that before the level cap the focus is on accumulating rubies and VPs from pvp – hence the repeated bashing of weaker setups. There’s also somewhat less diversity early on especially for hardcore pvpers. That being said, as pvpers start to diversify into pve/pvb and reach higher levels, many other setups become usable – its not just diablerie/chloro all the way anymore paired with all battlemaster stuff.
To really enjoy this game, I recommend doing pvp still, but start to build towards the late game – having a clear idea of what build you want late game helps a lot, as does planning out which items to get first (loot boosters for instance).

now with the new update there is the new ballistic weapon. is it good enough to make the ballistic synergy better? and i don’t understand how electric is so good since there aren’t that many items listed here that are good electric items
There are not many items, but those items are really great (compared to other damage types, its about quality, not quantity) electric items – in particular, the compass, traveller, and air totem are incredibly powerful paired with the bladestaff. Also, the electric weapon (bladestaff) is very powerful (just behind the 4 axes in power) and you only need to get a few items to make a powerful setup.
The ballistic weapon is actually pretty good on paper, although i have no idea how it matches up compared to conventional sniper rifles. Its still worth a try though

when are you supposed to use portals? is it good to dedicate some of your more powerful sequences of mid game to farming portals, or should you wait with doing them?
If you can handle the portals easily with a decent loot bonus (e.g. with lglg + raven + other loot boosters) its a good time to enter the portals – red pasture is the easiest (and the codex from dragon bulls there is great to have), followed by probably dark oblivion, crashed spaceship. and dragon portal. A lot of late game equips and materials are in the portal, so its always good to get a headstart.
That being said, its by no means impossible to come back later at a higher level (for instance, with a power bump in the form of equipment change) to grind portals.

PvP guide
Personally i just read all pvp powers to lvl 5 before i started disenchanting, but a lot of people like to disenchant iron will, as for now it is rather useless and gives a ton of rubies.
And yes, you are saving VPs for the future.
Originally posted by r2d2go:
Oh, also is there anything that a PvPer should sell or use instead of disenchant other than Diablerie and Chloromancy? I don’t know where I got Vengeance but it gives me a level 3 defensive buff, Retribution, which seems pretty good for PvP defense, and I don’t know if I should sell or use or disenchant Soul Strike/Sanctuary. I mean, if they sell, I could just buy meat cleavers or Sylvan cloaks and disenchant those for more. I also would like money to buy crafting mats and WoCs (Zombie servant, I foolishly sold Zombie Servant WoC’s so I could get Shadowfrost Demon WoC’s, before realizing Zombie gave bloodlust) I seem to have a crap-ton of VP un-used (7.5k . 3k unused at level 15, and that’s from only 5 levels of PvP), is that nomral? Am I storing for the later stuff? For the next 15 levels I see Buffy, Werewolf, Belt, Helmet, Gauntlet, Insignia, Glyph of Crimson and maybe Arnold. That’s only a little more than 10k VP, and by then I should have made 21k more. What happens to the extra VP? Even after that I only see maybe 10k more spent.

PvP guide
LGLG is a pve weapon; although it can be used in pvp with the correct supporting setup.
Jinx is an ability that becomes really great late game (r11 procs can do 200 a round!), and 20% dodge helps a lot too. It has 2 blue sockets too which means its kinda standard to put in two -1BL pve gems.
The most popular way to use LGLG late game in the high regions is to support it with a healing setup; where jinx becomes a main source of damage, and 20% dodge really helps you survive and outheal the opponent. With the correct items LGLG + heal can survive just about everywhere, which is what makes it so great. Furthermore its hands down the best weap to farm the first 5 or 6 regions late game (when you’re gonna deathblow them even with butterfly knife, probably) due to that crazy loot rate

sorry, that was referring to pvp, and its now 9% with the scale set. Will update anyway thanks. Anyway pve loot is definitely not able to compare with pvp’s loot rate for rubies (reasons explained in the guide)
