'''Establish good baseline stats before PvPing:''' The main stats that are vital to PvP are Attack speed, Movement Speed, Jump Speed, Critical, HP, Additional Damage, Reduced damage, Evasion and Accuracy. Having a minimum of 20% in your speeds allows you to both move and attack at a brisk pace, staying one step ahead of your enemies. This is the most important thing you should work on with sockets, as low speeds will allow other players to easily catch you and even slip out of your combos. Having around 30% critical will greatly help your damage output, and stacking HP will increase your overall durability. Having a minimum of 30% reduced damage is almost as essential as HP, and serves the same purpose. Additional damage benefits Multi-hit classes more than others, (CBS, NW, YR) but it is still helpful to have around 4k Additional damage. If you don't have accuracy at around 20%, it is recommended to get it there before upgrading other stats, unless you have ranked [[Counter Chance]]. Also, Evasion is unpopular to others but important when you are facing other opponents/skills such as: [[Aiming Shot]], [[Magic Missile]], [[Reckless Fist]] due to brute attacks, [[Night Watcher]]'s Twigs, etc. Sometimes it can save you in such situations like: You've been combo lock then the dodge hits, you're able to counterattack or to flee. Hyper Active Skills have possibility to evade the attack without doing the manabreak. '''NOTE''': When facing [[Epic NPCs]], this stat is very useful that you'll never regret it because their only weakness is Accuracy, having less than 5%~10%, you'll able to manage escape, to counterattack, and dodge all attacks even the '''Howl'''.<br><br>

'''Aim for "End-game" gear:''' Most of the higher ranked players sport one of the so-called end-game gear sets, and you should aim to do the same. Which set you should use is dependent on your character and your own play style. Until you acquire these equips, the PvP gear you get through the story can be a nice alternative, as they are easy to socket and attribute.<br><br>
