Bladers naturally have the best critical strike rating out of every class. This means that you might not need to have as much critical strike rate as other classes, or might want to have as much as possible. You also should have atleast 30% amp rating. If you're already hitting a lot of crits then go for more damage, or if you deal low damage you need to get that up higher. People might give good ratings, but in the end it's all about fniding a good balance between critical strike rating, amp rating and your budget/time/patience/determination. Gear with high amp can usually be bought of the AH,but also costs a lot. You can also try to craft yourself some armour, which is also time consuming and extremely expensive. I like Gk-player.com. You can also hope to get good loot from bosses (the boss of the lvl 110 lake world sometimes can drop forcium/mithril with buffs and or +8 epaulets). In the end, I recommend somewhere between 30%-50% (at max) amp rating, while your critical strike rating should in the end be as high as possible (though if you find that 80% of your attacks are crits then start putting more into amp). Good Luck getting good gear and the best PvP stats you can. Welcome to join the forum myself:cabal.6d7d.net King of PVP
