Thanks for update Linaaz, I'm following this guide intensely.

I was wondering. Would it make sense to keep a Snipers edge lvl 4 and swap it just for the WB? Wouldn't u get more gold doing that?

I'm a lvl 58 mage btw

Redoga - any thoughts on the new troops coming out tonight?

I was initialy thinking going warlock for the matk enlightenment but the proc rate for knight looks insane

Thanks for the help, One of my guildmates said the same thing,except he said that the Aegis Astral is a must-have,so I thought I'd get a second opinion on this,as your excellent guide and a few more seem to have a better view. One guide did say that Goddess Blessing was "Useless unless its an orange colour,Damage reduced too low." so I was saving for either that or Enhanced Will destroyer,once I get the astral points for them,as my capture rate of oranges is abysmal at the moment.

Yes you should go for the orange goddess blessing if you're into PvP and for higher lvls. You should always go for orange. Aegis is better for PvE and for early in lower lvls 40 and below.

yes intel, i keep a purple sniper edge lvl 7 and a yellow determination 5 just for wb. Works really great

As for the new troops, i was going for Templars since i need tanks (templars have higher pdef and hp) to take the hits for me. As a mage, you don't want to fight the archer without any troops around :P same for knight.

Also, the matk enlightment works for the templars aswell. It just takes % of its patk and converts it as bonus matk for you

I would recommend Enhanced Will Destroyer first.
It's just so good when it comes to PvP.
Shame on you red, tsk tsk don't go on crit.

Yeah I can see the sniper in your picture now. Good stuff. Thanks for the guide I'm following it

One last question. Why did you go with the PvP lvl 60 set and not the lvl65 arena?

tunbakyu,

The orange determination does you no good unless you're using crit build. The only benefit it gives you is making your crit attacks (when they hit) stronger. An orange or purple Goddess Blessing Astral would help, if you can luck into one of those.
What do the refines on your armor look like? You may be able to boost your stats by getting better refines (int and def are the best, but also try for endurance, matk, pdef, and/or mdef).
Have you invested any gold in guild skills? Those can give your toon a substantial boost also.
With skills, do you have dual book or just single? With dual book, you can specialize: create a dps book and a healing book. With single book, you end up going hybrid. Maybe RoF would serve you better than meteor if you are going with a hybrid book. It consumes less rage and has a shorter cool down than meteor.
If you have the $ to invest, buying the shop mounts can help too. The mount stats stack, so each mount you buy makes you stronger (you can use only 1 of each type..Shadow Steed, Ruby Eyed Steed, etc). I hope this helps.

I heard there was someone with the same name as me on kong servers ^^ weird thing is you got the same battle rating as me haha

[KS222]

I haven't seen you in the cross server events, but I've heard rumors there was another Redoga around. Nice to meet you =)

[Linazz]

reason why we didn't meet in cross server events is cuz Kong s7 is not a GMT server i think. I play on the european platform
