Hey

I hope this is the right section to ask this.

I never tried duelling in d2 before even tho i have been playing for so long.

So iam wondering how some like me with no pvp exp gets into duelling? Is it a ladder or non ladder thing? Do i just farm and buy gear and start playing in random pvp games and then apply for tournaments and events? what class should a beginner pick first?

I would appreciate some solid advice.

pick a character/build, watch some pvp gameplay videos, try it out in duel games, then when you're ready pm for some private duels

Pvp is always a thing.

Non ladder is typically where the better duelers stay.

Ladder typically becomes just pvm with a smaller pvp group than nom ladder.

Will take time for the later comment to become Fully true.

You make fg at the start of ladder like first 2-3 weeks. After that you upgrade your nl chars so you can pvp.

Make a character that sounds fun to you and duel in pubs and make friends. Duel them in private games to improve. See if you can meet someone willing to give you tips as you duel. Watch some streams or videos to get some ideas.
