Here's my thoughts after a few days of PVP.
My Hero kicks large amounts of a$$ in the 120+ arena. I get the most points 99% of the time with him, even if i'm on a losing team battle game.
But, here's a list of Classes he has trouble with:
Mages - If i can't crash them (and i can only use it once every 60 seconds), then it's a tough fight with them teleporting around all the time. Annoying if they lock you.
Bishops - They need a nerf. If you don't think so, you have not met a good one. They can dispel what seems like every 10 seconds (My crash is 60, wtp). They can BLOCK MY CRASH with holy shield or whatever that skill is. Now that's just wrong. And everything else people have mentioned (doom, SR and tele stun, genesis, summon, HEALING). If you can't turn off a Bishops magicguard, you wont kill them, simple as that. Smart ones will just tele away when getting low on HP, or dispel you and make you run away. I hate dispel more than anything else, because i have 7 buffs to redo and it takes quite awhile. Honestly, neither dispel nor magic crash should be allowed in pvp. I dont even use crash unless people are using that crap on me first. Feels like bad manners really.
Paladins - Probably the most tankable character. I have to stun them as much as possible to win a 1v1 fight. Guard blocks sooooo much.
BaMs - The only annoying thing about these guys is the invincible tornado BS. I just run away, no point in staying.
Heros - Obviously fighting myself is tough. They do the same crap i do. Especially if they crash me, then i have to crash them back and run away. Bothersome.
Ranged classes are relatively easy to deal with. Magnet them close, and jump around them slashing. Too many enemies around? Rush a couple off the platform so you can deal with 1 specifically.
I took my Ranger into pvp to get some points and challenger equips. I found him to be pretty decent. Even with garbage equipment, i could get decent points. Arrow Bomb and Fire Arrow are devastating to groups. Arrow Rain sucks, a lot. Its only use is pestering people way above or below you as its vertical range is big.
Took my 120 Dawn Warrior into PVP as well. It automatically wants me in the 120+ arena, and i found after a couple matches that it cannot hold its own against real 4th jobbers. I was mid-pack in points every time. So, i went into the 70+ arena and tried it out. Turns out (duh, because it's a cygnus), that i can still use all my skills in there. As such, i was dominating like never before. Always first in points, and by a wide margin. It looks like Cygnus are the way to go for 70+ arenas.
Have not had a chance to fully test my Mech or Corsair out, but I imagine it will be just like the ones i fight against. They'll do ok, but won't be stellar.
I think the next class i'll run through PVP is my 115 wind archer. Use that as a way to level him to 120. I've seen WA in there, and they're not half bad, especially when transformed.
