From my experience it seems that it is virtually impossible to beat anyone that is decked out in heavy armor and using a huge sword and shield if your an agile/magic user, for a number of reasons.
1) Magic seems to miss often in these PvP matches, because you can just role out of the way and there is no way to aim ahead of your opponent. If there is please tell me.
2) Its virtually impossible to roll behind anyone using big equipment, because they can just as easily move with you by standing still. Not to mention that someone can easily switch to tower shield without any penalty time wise.
3) Due to the long range in longer weapons it seems that even though whenever I roll out of the way I can still get hit, even if I'm behind an opponent or very far from them. This is probably due to lag, but it very irritating when out of no where I get hit when I'm rolling behind them or they somehow magically back-stab me from very, very far away.
4) Parrying is virtually impossible due to lag
5) Passage ways seem to be mostly narrow and full of potential hazards.
6) When your the Black Phantom cut-screens will be initiated by you, same with a trap even though it's not meant for you.
7) Arrows are useless, unless its a straight-away which doesn't matter anyway if they have a shield.
Overall, it may just be that I'm a little upset that my build doesn't work well in PvP, but I reckon that, that has to do with some of the imbalances within the game revolving around PvP. A big strong warrior just seems to win every time.
If you guys have any tips for me that might help with an agile player please tell me, because I truly can't win unless the guy is surrounded by enemies. I generally use agile characters.
Also, is there a way to turn off black phantoms. I definitely enjoy the co-op mode much better when someone isn't trying to kill me.
