PvP character creation

Overview
Opposed to roleplaying characters, PvP characters can only be used on the arenas, in the Heroes' Ascent tournament, in guild matches, and alliance battles. PvP characters are made to play combinations of professions that are not covered by the Roleplaying characters, to fit into a team build, or to experiment with new builds. Making a PvP character can be done in less than 5 minutes.

Choosing the Profession
First, the primary profession of the character must be chosen. You can choose your secondary profession after you've created your character. A PvP character's primary profession cannot be altered after creating the character. It must be deleted and "rerolled". But you can still change your PvP character's secondary profession.

Choosing your Secondary Profession
After you've named your character and arrived on The Battle Isles, press K to open up the Skills/Attributes window and choose your Secondary Profession from the list at the top.

Setting Attribute Points
You can only choose the distribution of attribute points after the character creation. A PvP character has 200 attribute points to spend, equivalent to a Roleplay character that has completed the two 15 attribute point quests specific to their campaign.

Choosing Skills
PvP Characters start with 6 Core Skills from your primary profession (except with professions exclusive to Factions and Nightfall), regardless of whether you've unlocked them or not. You can choose from all the skills that you have unlocked with either your Roleplay characters or by handing in Faction to a Priest of Balthazar.

Choosing Equipment
By pressing J you can open the PvP Equipment window and choose your weapon(s), armor and runes. You can also access your PvP equpiment window by pressing "I" to open your inventory and then clicking on PvP equipment. You can create more than one weapon by selecting an empty Weapon Slot and then creating another weapon.

Starting Location
Your PvP character will start out in the Great Temple of Balthazar. However, you can reach any unlocked location in The Battle Isles by using the World Map.
