    Hmm let me see, i am hybrid arcane build....PvPed allot until all i could find are lv30 or lv90 peeps. Ofc no fun in both so went to care bare mode.

    But what i can tell you, BM's arnt that hard to kill.
    Barbs, you must be jking, their HP + HP charm, unless you land a very lucky crit Tempest you are dead.
    Archers, well if you get close and get the first shot, you should be able to take them down.
    Wizards....well just plume shot them to death.
    Venos....well depends on the build, and what pet it has and how lucky you feel vs a nix.

    *lolz late, hope any of this made sense*

    Well specifically for PVP you should go robe. Higher damage equals faster kills. LA is more PVE based which is what I rolled.

    This being for pvp server I would go LA for PvE either LA or Arcane with shards in HPs.

    LA = pve build?

    LA is pdef and crit.
    I would think arcane is best for pve but regardless..

    I am a LA since level 1. I pk with an arcane cleric a lot and neither of us seem to struggle more than the other. With my gear i have only 500 less hp than him, if that. My pdef is much higher, and our damage range isnt too different. We both use the 99Gold weapon.

    I think the biggest thing about LA is the need for good gear, to really see the build does not suck. I use hp rings with added mattk, whereas arcane clerics seem to use crit to get a few % which still makes their crit lower than mine b:pleased

    With the difference of high vs low dmg scale I do slightly lower dmg.. maybe 150-200 less a hit? but with testing this, I have also hit harder than him plenty of times.

    I think it is really based on preference but both builds can be played just as good.

    Im full mag and LA is starting to become tempting in pdef. But what brings me back is that no shards or refining add me extra +MAG that i get from my arcane. =( if you got the money, HP and pdef can always be tweaked on armour.

    I never said otherwise but still I've done enough to be in a position to say that LA is quite viable PvP build.

    Hello Perfect World. Look at your cleric, now back to me, now back to your cleric, now back to me. Sadly it isn't me. But if you stopped being a noob and started wearing sunglasses you could act like you're me. Look down, back up, where are you? You're on Dreamweaver with the cleric your cleric could be like. What's in your hand, back at me. It's an inventory filled with the gear you want. Look again, the gear is now diamonds. Anything is possible with sunglasses. I'm flying on starter wings.
