your pvp guide is nice and extensive!
well done
you didnt cover resonance, preparation, reflect, revenge, immortality, reprisal, onslaught, balanced strike and likely loads more. i'll input a little.
SHIELD ABILITIES:
resonance:
resonance is an ability that makes the next single hit you take (within 6 seconds) to heal you instead of hurt you. the simple strategy with this is to use it before your opponent does a big burst hit of damage, to heal off it and increase your survivability.
sometimes i will actually use freedom to clear a basic dot , contrary to your "never use freedom on a basic" statement because i dont want resonance healing off a small dot hit rather than the big burst hit i'm about to take. in a general sense though, it is better to save freedom for higher bleeds or stuns. its situational.
preparation:
every single hitsplat of damage you take reduces the cooldown of resonance by 3 seconds, so you can use it sooner for a good heal
. i like to use it when my opponent uses a basic bleed/fast combo move because the more hitsplats taken, the faster you can use resonance again.

BALANCED STRIKE:
a very risky ultimate melee ability. it basically swaps you and your opponents health around. so ideally, if you use it on low health when your opponent is at high health, balanced strike will hit enough damage to lower their lifepoints roughly to the percentage your health was at.
note: it is not a complete lifepoint swap, as you heal 50% of what you hit.
note: it is impossible to ko with balanced strike alone, as it plays with health percentages and not actual weapon damage.
note: balanced strikes mechanics change in pve, as you can one hit low/medium levelled npc's.
note: if you use this ability at a high % of lifepoints and your opponent is at a low % of lifepoints, you will be almost one hit!
additional info:
in the past, i used to bind players and walk under them to prevent them from attacking me. this is a strategy to use when you believe your opponent/s are at their strongest, in order to increase your own survivability.
only recently, i've found that players that i have bound and walked on are still able to attack and kill me, regardless of my old strategy.
it is unknown if the recent "boss anti-walking" update is the cause.
a good strategy for combating threshold combo attacks is to anticipate before them and then stun them immediately as you see the combo start. this will stop the combo continuing provided your stun hit and your opponent had no anti-stun buffs active.
it is also worth mentioning that surge doesnt allow you to go through objects.. usually...
i'm really looking forward to the upcoming pvp updates, and i want them to be a success in order to save pvp.
you are welcome to add anything i've said to your posts and reformat it if need be.
thanks again for making this thread
