What I'm gathering is that generally hitting 1200 in PvP isn't a function of being a 5* player, it's a function of shield hopping and coordinating on Line, which frankly is more energy and time than I care to spend on the game. So I won't get my hopes up that my 5* entry will be the golden ticket I'd hoped it would be.But I also don't want it to make getting to 1000 worse. And some folks here have suggested that is a real possibility. So perhaps any improvement in my PvE clears will only be offset by the extra time and anguish of getting to 1000 in PvP. One step forward, one step back, which seems to be a theme in this game.

The reality is it can save a lot of time in PVP too, you are in a group of a lot of knowledgeable players who really don’t hang out on the forums anymore. In PVP if you use line you might actually spend less time in PVP. When you think about how many matches it takes to get to 1000 points?

Line is not a time sink; as others mention, it is actually likely to reduce your total time played in pvp significantly because it is so much more efficient (think 1200 in less than 20 matches every time because you really can average over 60 pts per match). But it is a very specific playsyle, that involves a fair amount of watching line and waiting for things to happen. So it may not be to your taste. It is certainly a different feel than playing completely solo.

If your goal is to get to 1200, you can do so easily in s1 or s4 without being in any rooms.You have a great starter set. Way better than most people have when they make the jump. Champ all of them and you'll be very happy I think... good variety there. Work on getting that final Thor though. Also... someone said earlier that HE is a must have. To that I LOLlastly, what is your in game name? I want to make sure to welcome you properly when I see your shiny new 5*s pop up.
