Hello i am Robert, a privateer main since 2013 and a pvp champ from the first and most competitive season, the first summer. I see players ask for advice somewhat frequently so i'm making this thread to answer any questions anyone may have about pvp so it can all be in one place instead of scattered around the message boards, my specialty is privateer pvp of course but after 4 years of fighting every class and studying the best players of each i can answer almost any question about all the classes.

What is the best way to win? Is it pet grants, companions, or gear?

None, personal skill and knowledge is more important then all of that, my friend chris uses only 1 fort for swashbuckler while every other buckler uses 3 and he uses nefarious knives that grant quite possibly the worst talent for a buckler to have, flanking, and he outperforms them all, gear, pet grants, and companions are just there to open more strategies up, but if you dont know those strategies or how to execute them they're useless

I really dont want to help on this one since it will directly hurt me but i did make this thread soo......

Use muskets to beat out contessas gallant or just wait it out, using a vengeance 3 companion to stun contessa then following up with fans hidden super is a devastating combo that crushes this strategy when fighting most people, me being me of course gallant isnt the only trick i have up my sleeve when i use this

I use Hurl Blades and Bonnie's Scatterblast onto Contessa along as the other two companions and pirate works even better if Black Fog is up. You can also use Sprocket Key for Purge and Purge off any buffs Contessa has on. This is the Swashbuckler counter I've found for this strategy.

Ratbeard, chantal, and bonnie is what I've used but muskets usually are at a disadvantage sincr the map is so small

Why not give her advice as though she were a level 65?

Because being any level below max and trying to pvp puts you at a disadvantage. You have lower stats, fewer practice points, your companions are lower level, etc. PvPing at a high, but not max, level is setting yourself up for greater odds of failure
