Pvp Armor for 70+ PW

[siruis]

Hey i was wondering what you think the best armor will be for like a 73 PW. Zubei for the uber evasion or nightmare for the hp back, what you guys think is best for pvp?

[Jonne]

Nightmare

Zubei isnt too bad either, but it needs to be atleast +4, preferrably +5

[NekidMugh]

nightmare vs mages
zubei vs melee

[siruis]

in c4 does evasion work against mages? i swear i heard that somewhere?

[FagunFin]

i really would not believe that evasion help against macig skills o_O

[giddymotors]

whats that one, DC w/ the speed and patk bonus? that sounds cool, but whichever has the sleep resist will probably help the most..........nightmare?

[Siefix]

buy your characters much? your 73 and dont know how to gear your own class? gg

[giddymotors]

[siruis]

OE'd doom light or majestic. Need at least as much +DEX as the archers you'll be chasing.

[siruis]

yeah im getting + dex tatoo's

[charlie-a-lee]

i hardly ever get slept/rooted w/ +4 wit -4 int, +3 maj jewlery/magic barrier/mental aegis.
nightmare is really a waste.

i suggest going maj light for stun resist. in mass pvp i get stunned 10x more than i get slept/rooted.

or

dc light just so you can get your specials off faster, but dc light has shitty p.def :/

In PvP, a dagger's main weapons are it's specials.

Dark Crystal:
+ Pattack - Minimal affect on specials. Normal swings, percentage bonus on the lowest pattack in game doesn't make much of a difference either.
+ Pattack speed - Again minimal affect on the speed of specials. In PvP, your target probably won't be standing still to take your swings. So it's going to be swing, run a step or two, swing, repeat. Therefore a small increase in attack speed won't increase the number of swings you make.
This bonus is also the reason why a lot of archers go DC. But considering the fact that it's a percentage bonus on the lowest attack speed in game, and that a kiting archer may not even be shooting as fast as its attack speed allows.
+ Paralysis resist - Not often encountered.

Nightmare:
+ Mdef - Nice.
+ Sleep/Root resist - Nice, but consider how often you encounter sleep/root in PvP (how often does a mage bother with a dagger?) vs how often you encounter shield stun and stun shot.
+ HP return - As mentioned above, normal swings are minimal in PvP. Daggers are a combination of low pattack and fast attack speed. You'd need a stationary target for this bonus to be of any effect.

Majestic:
+ Bow pattack - Not that great for daggers, but consider it a bonus for the times you use a bow.
+ Weight limit - More CP pots.
+ MP - 3 more specials in a long fight.
+ Stun resist - IMO the best resist bonus considering stun is the most commonly used debuff. Stun is also the debuff that renders the victim the most helpless (can't be reliably removed, no ranged attacks, can't use items). Plus this also partially offsets any con that may have been removed.

Conclusion - IMO Majestic Light should be the only set for any dagger or archer in PvP.
