Hey everyone!
Writing from my own experience, PvP is much less of an even playing field as it may appear. 2 lvl 70 pirates fighting can actually be super unbalanced based on gear sets and experience. When I first reached max level, I tried out PvP on my swashbuckler. I got crushed. 1v1 level 70 against buccaneer. It seemed like his companions would never stop attacking! They seemed to always block my attacks and always land crits! It took lots of farming and practice but I finally got some great gear and am able to win more than half my PvP fights.

Some advice I would give to new players or players just starting PvP-
1. Just a few levels make a big difference- A level 70 can easily defeat a level 65 (unless the 70's a witchdoctor and the 65's a buccaneer, sorry just thought I'd put my own opinion in there ).

2. Don't be afraid to stand your ground- A nice strategy is doing something like powering up for the upcoming battle. If you use two turns simply powering up, it doesn't mean you have to be the first to attack. Also, never retreat. Doing this will simply waste your turn, and chances are, the opponent will catch up to you.

3. Use OP companions- It depends on your class but I strongly recommend El Toro, Peter Quint, Old Scratch, and Chantal Livingstone. These are just a few that I love for pvp but it's mostly class and preference.

That's all. I hope this helped someone. I could be totally wrong but this is what's worked for me.
