PVP stats guide: best/suggested setups and equips for 40-50 tier!

*edited* thx "admin" XD

FINALLY!! Bored of lookin here and there for the equips and waste
time thinkin new setups? Here's the guide for u!!

Just for pvp obviously! =P


KEEP IN MIND!! (list)

-THIS GUIDE IS MINE!! don't u dare to steal eet else u'll face my
raaaaaageeeeee!! AHRRRRR!!!!!! berserk-modo-on!... lock-on!...FIRE!!

-this guide is meant 2 build some kind of "jack of all trades" character
which keeps what's important not to lack in anything

-about what some others may say that I am not considerin some
classes playstyle and things like that, these r just stats, I've already
asked Umi to add at least a ranger guide, the more guides u guys make
the more u help me... help is appreaciated!

-I will keep editin whenever iz required =D

-this stats guide is aimed for the 40s so it won't last past lv50!

-For each level the opponent is higher than you, their effective dodge +1
-For each level lower, their effective dodge -1
-Your aim-their dodge=hit percentage.

SO keepin that in mind it is suggested
-aim to hit 99% chance 60+ dodge stackers=170+ aim
-aim to hit 99% chance 80+ dodge stackers=190+ aim
-for some classes aim is much more important than others, examples:
-If a nin dodges once while in spark rock he'll get out of it makin the priest
stoppin the combo and maybe counterattacking
-If a priest dodges once while gettin asskiked by a nin won't change a thing
'coz all nin skills are multi-hitting so the combo WILL keep goin

SO for classes which rely more on multihittin might need less aim (here it is the list =P)
-aim to hit 80% chance 60+ dodge stackers=150
-aim to hit 80% chance 80+ dodge stackers=170

-HLT to survive properly POWA combos=150

-STATS calculated on this guide are roughly estimated so no complaints
just do some maths for urself if u notice smtg's wrong to evoid
flame/necro thread OR speak with me on MSN and I might edit the post
if necessary =P

-also STATS listed might not be the same as u 'coz...well ur char "grows"
each lvl some might even get 3/4 HLT per lvl, I simply listed those I
have considered, owning 8 different characters

-I use to call "tools" items such as: necklace, rings , earrings and belt

-BEST to have tools with both dodge AND HLT either AGI!

-Check market often! Who knows maybe a miracle will let u get
ur dirty hands on an aim+dodge tool!!

...YES! daz all! u hafta find double bonus and max aim items if u

OR 2/2 HLT chaos pieces + HLT rocker's +1 max HLT+INT random piece

-HLT or aim wep (both is way better)

-> +50 aim
-> +100 HLT

TOTAL STATS

...YES! just like be4!-.-'...
___________________________________________________________________

So... here's a final alternative for mage classes takin the...
path...less...travelled...

-HLT rocker helmet + 5 max HLT+AGI random pieces
-FULL max aim tools
-max aim back
-HLT+aim wep

this should finally get ur aim stat to a decent BASE amount
(around 120) sacrificin though 65 INT (roughly losin 170 MATK)

-> +60 AGI
-> +100 HLT
-> +45% +12 AIM


TOTAL STATS
190/195 aim
170 HLT
20/25 dodge (ye! we got some luck in the end!)

another good thing about this set is that u can switch it between
ur chars and keep it in the higher levels!
and if u manage to find max aim+dodge tools iz pro-ish =P

I have something to add...

Basically, the formula for dodge calculations is as follows:

For each level the opponent is higher than you, their effective dodge +1
For each level lower, their effective dodge -1

Your aim-their dodge=hit percentage.

So for example...

You
Lv.40
145 aim

Opponent
Lv.47
80 dodge

Effective dodge=87

145-87=58% hit rate, not impressive huh?

Another example, just for contrast to what Limit said:

You
Lv.47
160 aim

Opponent
Lv.40
80 dodge

Effective dodge=73

160-73=87% hit rate, not too shabby right?

So basically you should pack aim gear accordingly, and not with a set digit according to set dodge, and change it for each fight if you need it or not~

*Irrelevant comment*
I would disagree with many aspects in your guide as it does not cover builds specifically, say ninjas could be built to pure htl aim, or c.rate+c.dmg or dodge build. Though upon further reflection, it is your guide and personal opinion in how to build each character, so I'll leave it at that.
