Yeah well, one heavy cser can just make a lvl 45 acc and spam arena until he reaches the score that he needs to get arena gears. That's is why arena's system is broking, now you got a cheater running around with full purples equipped to him, with x3 exp going on he can just get the arena gears for 70 or 60 and own other ppl.

How about the fact that you have to be rank 7 arena rep in order to buy the 70 arena gears? The amount of rep you gain is 100% based on your level. So in order to get rank 7 at level 45, you have to fight what.... 10,000 matches? Guess you can just get those 10k matches instantly huh?

...You know that at higher levels, higher accuracy is easier to get right? Evasion can still be a really nice build (if balanced with decent hp, etc), but talking like evasion builds are unbeatable is just... *facepalm* Maybe against people who haven't properly stacked accuracy, but like I said, higher levels generally have stacked accuracy appropriately.

Drachus has said it all ^ 100% agree

In full honestly, there are TONS of accuracy items, gems, skills, talents, pet skills, accuracy party boosts, evasion debuffs.. the saying "evasion owns all" is a fail statement. It's good yes, is it overpowered no? Is it counterable? Yes.

On our server, the number of people who can run FP properly is not that high. If I could actually tank it properly I would actually try to run it.

Ironically, I am getting arena gears because it's the easiest way for me to get the prerequisite HP to not get 1-shotted by Kluer, which would then make me not need any FP gears. But I'd still run it anyway for the scrolls / money.

End thread here.

OP, had no point to this thread, no logic or reasoning.
Yes we established that gaining arena score 2700 at lowbie levels is cheap, but they do have to level up to 70 and do 6v6 like.. 1000 times.. even though it's easy... purple gear doesn't mean = over powered.

The blue arena gear so called "everyone is getting" isn't overpowered compared to GOOD sets 70+, it isn't terrible.. there are just better obvious options.. depending on what you desire.

Evasion isn't "OP", its balanced perfectly atm.

Instances are based on if you have friends to go with you, or world flutes.

Done.

Use your head.

Get 2700 3v3 score.
Level up.
Get into random 6v6, as many matches as you can, win or lose, you get reputation.

3v3 score and 6v6 scores are separate. You can go to one you don't care about to get reputation after you have the score in the other.

Still going to take forever. Guess I'm more impatient than others.

I personally don't recommend any class going evasion past 75+, accuracy becomes so common its unreal. I have about 500+ accuracy fully buffed with Precision II, plus the -90 evasion debuff (with soak + roar) elemental warriors can cast basically means i won't miss on anyone, maybe 1 in 5 hits if you have above 380+ evasion... but yeah i prefer all class go stout maybe dark vamps are OK with full evasion build because of the talented dark curse to reduce 24% accuracy(yeah this needs nerf), this is just personal experience in PVP that's all.:D

I would go ahead and say it depends on the current metagame. If everyone is going evasion, eventually everyone will go accuracy and evasion will be less useful. Then if everyone has accuracy, it then becomes beneficial to go pure HP. Then the people going accuracy will opt for more damage instead.

That said, certain classes with evasion buffs really benefit from high accuracy...namely marksmen and dark vamps. Most other classes don't have a compelling reason to go evasion unless they can afford to stack up on large amounts of pure, unbuffed evasion.
