Howdy. Welcome aboard.

Couple quick suggestions.

1) Log everything.

2) Read every log you can get your hands on.

Especially, search for logs of people who have played your class before.

Learning the ins and outs of CF's pk system can take some time (after all, if it could be mastered in an afternoon, what fun would it be?). However, that being said, comparing your actions to those of more experienced players is a good way to figure out what you're doing wrong.

Additionally, find some people in game who you get along with well. I know a lot of the older players here like to help out their groupmates when they can with some gear and a lesson or two in how to get by.

Anywho, good luck.
