Ginger, I want to know your suggestion about my toon.
Currently we have no knight for arena, so I act as tank for my team.
Wanna ask if this build is correct or I should change it.
Current refine: strentgh, defense, patk, crit, block.
Gems: 8 patk, 6 block, 5 mdef, 5 hp, 4 pdef.
This is the stats of my toon.

Stables
Should I put most of my whips to armor so i can get better defense?

I reached all my goals ( all lvl 8 gems; 100k+ HP and at next wip event i will have lvl 7 stables and at next sc event hopefully 60+ engraving).
I just made VIP 8 and until i finish my 60 set i think i will reach VIP 9 and i will do BG (i heard of 160k+ BR monsters in 55-64 BG and also in BG 50-59 i saw a knight with 117k BR) or earlier if i will be to bored. I really want to start sky trial for the daily horns and with luck to get my first purple sylph soon.
Oh i will try to lvl in a BG to be the only lvl 60 there.
Lv 69 with 200k and orange sylph in BG today. Forgot name though.
Anway, there are more PvP titles after LD Mythic Dragon Knight 360k) but I don't know if they are all unlockable at Lv 60.

There is no such thing as a 'correct build'. For the role you are trying to fulfill, I'm not sure if there's anything I would suggest changing. To me a tank is a HP and defense preference player. As an Archer this is difficult to incorporate and still remain effective as a potential damage dealer.
Aside from maybe trivial things regarding play style, I'm uncertain what to suggest aside from asking:
You're not entirely socketted? your equipped gem count doesn't add up to 32?

A lot has changed in the game since Ginger made his guide for the first time. This has made a lot of people doubt or at least question the benefits of slow leveling, so having faced Ginger in many a battleground, I feel obliged to come to his defense and point out several new benefits of slow leveling:
1. As a mid-range casher, I have set my sights on building a long-term strong character without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it. This means I have to make optimal use of events. To achieve this, I have to save up on whips, soul crystals, mahra, sepulcrum, gems and even runestones until the regular events for them come up. When we use things during events, we get much higher benefits. So, we need to take things slowly because of such events granting us around +50% benefits.
2. Also, I need time to make my 70 set, make it legendary, enchant it, then make it 80 and ultimately use holy cast on it. You can do this either by paying through the roof to buy items asap, or by taking it slow and grind for the items. The end result is the same, but your spending is very different.
3. You need a lot of resources like kyanite, gold, insignia and crypt tokens to develop your character at high levels, and after 80 you add to that the resources for mount upgrading and holy cast. Again, you can spend crazy amounts of cash to buy these items or grind for them and get them for free.
4. Honour is something that takes time, even with vip 9 - and if you rush into things rather than maximize first your holy seal and then your passive talents for every level, you will find yourself stunned practically every single battle. Not to mention that you must have very high level runes to stand a chance when facing level 80 players in Arena or BG. All of these things mean that you have to go slowly and maximize for every single level along the way before leveling up.
5. Finally, if you do things slowly, you have time to watch strong player's builds and make up your mind what their mistakes were so you do not repeat them, and invest better.
For all of the above reasons, slow leveling (with or without cashing) will always work to your benefit.

Gems: 8 patk, 4 pdef, 4 crit, 6 block, 5 mdef, 5 hp.
What I want to know is which one is better, keep the block at 6.9k (now my astral is lv 7) with 15k pdef, 14.6k mdef, and 104k hp.
Or 2nd choice, convert block gems into pdef, mdef, hp.
I'm not sure to keep current build or trade 6 block gems into 1 crit, 2 pdef, 2 mdef, 1 hp.
With this 2nd build, my block will be 3.5k, pdef 16.5k, mdef 16k, hp 108k and crit 7.7k.IGN: Kill Me

Option 2: 16.5K PDEF 16.0K MDEF 108K HP 3.5K Block 7.7K Crit
Diff in %: +10% PDEF +10%MDEF +3.9%HP -49%Block +9%Crit
That is a massive change in your Block.
What is 4K of HP worth in terms of an average hit against you? is it even 1 hit?
I can understand the DEF's increase and the crit increase. But the HP doesn't add up to me.
Maybe drop 3 Block gems: 1 into Crit, 1 into MDEF, 1 into PDEF. That'll leave you with ~5.2K Block, and 4-5% increases on your other stats.

Someone who slow leveled to 80 will never be stronger than someone who leveled to 80 as soon as they could without spending more than they did or the fast leveler quitting.

Also, a friend of mine who slow levels as well is level 61 with 91k br wearing 40leg LHS / 50leg RHS. All of us same server launched 5months ago.
Your statement may be true in some cases. However, my statement shows that your statement is false, therefore refuting your argument that slow levelers will NEVER be stronger than fast levelers.S292 Archer level 46

Yes, Crazy. Even players like Zebq who were cashing madly have used the strategy to rush level to a point, then park to build up BR, again rush level, again park and so on. If you hit 80 at BR of 120k or something similar, you can NEVER gain honour in BG, only an idiot would pair up with you in Arena, you would be just luggage in MPD, Spire, TOK. If you slow level and hit 80 at BR well above 250k, you would find it very easy and enjoyable to play.
