It’s really not bad at all. Seriously I’m a zero at anything pvp but I still have a blast and even though I don’t invade. I actually make it my point to hunt down invaders with lament. It’s a blast to go after them with loreley on and your sword guard up. I’m trying to learn how to have the pvp “killer instinct” so I’m practicing this way in gambit. Try it and if you want an extra bit of survivability use a glaive.
