My intention for this topic is to collect the experience of Olympiads and continuously edit this topic with results to share with others.
I have the following favor to those who intend to post in this topic: I kindly ask only those to post, who have participated in olys and share their experience with their class or the class they faced.
Please refrain from asking questions, commenting, having a discussion or double posting. If you want to add, change something or made a mistake, please edit your post, leave a pm or post that you edited, thank you.
For each poster, please try to be as explicit and short as possible:
1) State what class you played, level, dyes
2) For each class you WON or LOST against state your ITEMS (SA,OE) and BUFFS
Example:
STS, 79, +4 WIT -4 MEN,...
Win (DC robe +3+3+3+4, AM ACU +3, MAJ Jewls...): Fortune Seeker, ...
Lose (DC robe +3+3+3+4, AM ACU +3, MAJ Jewls...): Duelist, ...
I know it will require some work on your part, however, I am sure the collected outcome will be rewarding for everyone.
With each post i will add the results in the following list:
Warsmith (Maestro):
Bounty Hunter (Fortune Seeker):
Berserker (Doombringer):
Soulbreaker (Soul Hound):
Arbalester (Trickster):
Inspector (Judicator):
Overlord (Dominator):

Class: Abyss Walker (Ghost Hunter)
Equipment:
- armor
Assume we have a few epics... Stun resist especially.
Wear draconic set, except these situations:
Use heavy armor vs glad. This is worth it. Recommend tallum plate set.
Use anything to assure great dps vs nukers. Also recommend tallum plate.
Vs buffer with mana burn don't even think of using anything else than nm robe. Assures you sleep and hold resistance and high maximum mana. If your mana gets depleted, switch to light immediately.
Assume we don't have epics...
Vs any class that has stun, USE MJ LIGHT. This is incredibly important.
- weapon
As haste, or if you can afford dynasty knife/icarus disperser cd. (as cd isn't that worth it, since it gives +265 patk during crit while dyn/icarus gives +559, that's almost double)
- dyes:
Highly depends on preferences. +4 wit -4/5 int is a flying MUST. Aside that, you can decide to go for either +5 dex or +5 con, -5 str. Personally, I'd go for +5 con if you really want this dye.
Anyway, I have to admit that I am fully satisfied with this class, so I only use +5 wit -5 int.
Now... You know all that pre-start advantage. Get your SA weapons up and do anything you can to get as many buffs on you. Most important are btb and mental shield. Also, you have to be an idiot to forget focus death and mortal strike.
Vs nukers: when the gate opens, get to him as fast as you can. Starting the match near your enemy is a must. First thing you do is blinding blow in every case. If you get slowed it's game over. Also, always trick enemy's vortexes. Beware of the sorc. If he lands vortex, that's -atk speed. What could be worse? The blaster that follows it.
Vs summoners: this is difficult. Start the match near him. You have two options. 1. Get the summoner. Recommended vs phantom summoner from gracia. You stop the summon, but death spike will still be coming. 2. Kill the summon. Trick when the summoner heals. Recommended vs the other two summoners.
Vs buffers: battle starts near your enemy. Remember what I said about nm robe. Just knife him and trick when he tries to heal. That's your only option. Eventually make him hit you to get the evasion counter stun. That's your window.
Vs glads: stick to your oponent. Wear heavy armor. Don't forget. Your trick target is sonic barrier and tss. These are dangerous. Save your bluff and trick for that. If he tries tss, expect a sonic barrier.
Vs tyrants: about the same strategy. But use blinding blow. He may try to cripple you and then kite.
Vs archers: stick to them. Trick their hamstrings and double shots. Those are dangerous. You can support lethal shots. But if double shot crits, you are dead. Also don't foget to ue at the beginning.
Vs tanks: light armor and ultimate evasion. This is all about your evasion counter. You hit ue. If he doesn't hit, he will die. If he hits, he can get stunned. Once he gets stunned, jump at his throat. Trick shield slam. Hold is not a problem.
Vs daggers: simply outsmart them. Trick at the appropriate moment to interrupte and jump at their backs and keep a steady target on them. That's essential.

vs gladi : they usually want to get near and use tts , don't let that happen or you're dead, so run as far as you can in the beginning , even try to be tricky as i am

against nukers u should try root even if it has low land rate on them then stun to the bone...
against summoner (and ur eternal enemy the DA) u should try root the summon... or even better aoe root if u have the chance then shield sstun on the summoner until he dies... if the root goes try it again..
against a healer
if he starts spamming heal do sthing very evil..... use aggression ...i bet u understand what happens when u get close start stun
if u are going to die ofc try ud and heal yourself if u havent healed enough use vengeance too in hellbound u have one more ud that lasts 15 sec and u can move too...also dont use heal when u are in AI cause its gonna suckand waste much mp
u should use focus weapons in oly...
PS... if u play against a dagger u should not go shield slam directly cause if he bluffs u he will interupt it and u will have to w8 for the reuse which is long... Also, when you fight against archer/dagger have a blunt equiped.

dye: +4 str -4 con +4 wit -4 int
wins : all classes
lose : TK, summoners
tactics : Except the stuff buffs I use ww, haste, might, death whisper and focus vs mages. Vs fighters i choose concetration instead of focus so they cant interupt my heals
Vs nukers: Sacrifice a few times in npc buffer and pre-AI + ToL just befor
vs mages e the mtach starts. Shield of faith just when he is going to use vortex + crusher/buster/slug (at the begining of the game). If their slow lands and he has stun/root resist equip(MA + epic jewel) bow him to death, and try always to stay close incase his criticals force me to use UD, and i some extra hits before he leave my range. This tacktic fail only if some lucky sps/sorc manage to bypass ToL resist and cancel some major buffs, like ww/haste/ToL
vs DA: In the beginning I use fortitude to resist his stuns and try to retarget quickly his panther if he try to aggro me(If he use SoF to keep him alive another 15 seconds, just run). Even if tod lands panther should be dead before i have less than my 1/2 hp. Fortitude is removed and then its time to tol, which bring me back in full hp and the hp regeneration is bigger than his damage. If da try to ud an resummon, i ud next to him stunning him and trying to interupt his casting. After tod effect has been removed, i can heal myself with sacrifice if tol is still up or if i have zaken(concetration and sacrifice enchanted helps). At 30% hp AI is what will bring me clear advantage in damage.
vs dwarfs: kill the summon if its maestro first, and then focus on him. ToL would be enough to leave long enough to kill them without difficulty
vs titan: If they start with OtB+Frenzy+Zealot I use vengeance as soon as they are next to me, and UD after that. If they w9 my uds to worn off, they will end up without frenzy and 30%hp 1-2k cp(easy opponent). If they try to hit me(and they hit me very hard even with ud) I hit them back and and ToL myself in the middle of the fight, and that would be enoughfor me to stay aliveand him be almost dead after ud end. If they dont start with theses skills, qwhn i reach 40% of their hp i try to stun or slam them, and i dont hit him until i manage it, so i can deal some damage before he enter in frenzy mode and he is almost dead, or if slam lands he wont be able to use them at all
vs TK , SK : SK: If lighting strike lands, game over. If it dont land, with many heals and sacrifice at ToL i can beat them. For once more AI is the one that will make me last man standing.
TK: The worst enemy for a Paladin. He can survive as much as i can(heal + ToL), and even more, because of healing cubic. His smart cubic does more damage that he does to me, and i cant stun him for long because of its cleance effect. Most times I am the one who dies in this mach
vs archers : I just need to keep them imoblile to hit them, and root+stun would do the job. If they manage to get me to 30% hp, (hardly ever), AI+ToL will result in their death
vs tyrant : shield fortress and heals will keep me alive until they reach 30% hp. When they go for zealot + bishon, i ud and bow them, unless they prefer to stay away until ud ends, so they wont have zealot too. (i wouldnt suggest slam and stun because of ripose stanse)
vs gladi : Their damage output is far greater that mine, but their weakness is in their mp. Once again i go with with shield fortress (only TSS bypass shield defence), ToL and ud once in a while to heal myself. If done with good timing, i would be 3/4 hp with Sof and AI available when their mp ends,even if they use no toggles, and them my dps would be far greater than his. (i wouldnt suggest slam and stun because of ripose stanse)
vs PP and SE : Root wont land easily in IC+mental shield, so this fight is easy
vs bishop and ee: I try to chain stun them and aggro their heals, so i can kill them. Trance wont land often. Even with all the mp burned, i can still stay alive with ToL+ sacrifice
vs PP/SE/bish/EE with nuke aug : I use the nuker strategy
vs summoners : Every time i use different tactic, i havent found the best yet
vs daggers : I try to use fortitude up so bluff wont land, and use stun root to immobilise them. I almost always am the winner, unless leathal strike lands or he critical backstub me
OL/WC: I usually enter with AI+ToL like for nukers, except if they prefer heavy armor+soulguard and meelee weapon and nuke only to restore hp, so then i prefer to make the fight last long with my heals, until they are out of mp
This strategy works for opponents with equal or not much highter equip. PK is a very strong olympiad character if you know how to use them

vs tyrant : shield fortress and heals will keep me alive until they reach 30% hp. When they go for zealot + bishon, i ud and bow them, unless they prefer to stay away until ud ends, so they wont have zealot too. (i wouldnt suggest slam and stun because of ripose stanse)
vs gladi : Their damage output is far greater that mine, but their weakness is in their mp. Once again i go with with shield fortress (only TSS bypass shield defence), ToL and ud once in a while to heal myself. If done with good timing, i would be 3/4 hp with Sof and AI available when their mp ends,even if they use no toggles, and them my dps would be far greater than his. (i wouldnt suggest slam and stun because of ripose stanse)
vs PP and SE : Root wont land easily in IC+mental shield, so this fight is easy
vs bishop and ee: I try to chain stun them and aggro their heals, so i can kill them. Trance wont land often. Even with all the mp burned, i can still stay alive with ToL+ sacrifice
vs PP/SE/bish/EE with nuke aug : I use the nuker strategy
vs summoners : Every time i use different tactic, i havent found the best yet
vs daggers : I try to use fortitude up so bluff wont land, and use stun root to immobilise them. I almost always am the winner, unless leathal strike lands or he critical backstub me
OL/WC: I usually enter with AI+ToL like for nukers, except if they prefer heavy armor+soulguard and meelee weapon and nuke only to restore hp, so then i prefer to make the fight last long with my heals, until they are out of mp
This strategy works for opponents with equal or not much highter equip. PK is a very strong olympiad character if you know how to use them
