First of all i whant to say hello to the l2warcry community and as you can see am new around here. Now about my "problem" :

1 : What Armor and dye's should i use ? i mean an end-game build ( as far as i know Tallum*Dle duals are the best you can find for him )and i looking forword to go Open PvP / Mass PvP / Siege , so no Arena thing ^^

2 : I heard people talking about stuff like Wild Magic / Dance of Siren and +WIT increase the chance of skills to crit . Can someone confirm or infirm this ? And again does Focus / SoH affect's the rate of critical at skills ? and if you crit on skills does the crit power goes trought VS / DW / DoF ?
I wish some accurate info about this stuff because some say they do and some they don't . But if someone can tell me how things realy goes i would be greatful .

Thank you for your fast reply !

wild magic / siren and wit increases the crit rate of magic attacks. if your offensive nuke is classified as a spell (= can not be used when silenced) it will increase your crit rate. pyhsical crit rates are defined by dex and (if available) passive skills.

crit damage for phyiscal hits (skill and normal hit) go up if you have VS/DW/DoF on.

for pvp go with whatever setup you feel the most comforatable with. coping someone simply because he plays his class well only makes you a sitting duck. for example i know a he that simply sucks at playing his class. and his maj and +11 soulbow dont make him any better. they just give him the needed advantage when his enemy is a sufficient lower lvl.

Well Gurag back in C5 Diego Vargas sayd that Wild Magic / Dance of Siren and +Wit increased the chance of critical on skills for the Gladiator / Duelist . I know the description of these buffs but this is what he sayd. And back then people didn't know if the crit power goes trought VS / DoF / DW so this is why i ask . I whant some accurate info :) at the moment i have other things to do then testing this things .. but i belive i would do that ... and about the build i ask't more to know what to rely on , P.atk / Hp - Cp / Atk Speed .. what is the best way to go for a Duelist . I am not trying to copy no one . But thank you for your fast reply !

k, english isnt my native language.

but what is so hard to understand about "crit damage for phyiscal hits (skill and normal hit) go up if you have VS/DW/DoF on." and allready in c5 people knew that these toggles/buffs increase your crit damge. hell thats what even the skill description says. what happened in c5 was only that the amount of the damage increase got toned down and not how these skills work.

also i dont see the great time problem in testing that stuff. hit a mob 10 times without DW, notice your damage on crits. have any SE buff you, hit the same mob again 10 times and compare damage. takes 5 minutes out of your grinding. same with the magic stuff. go into the arena and have someone silence you. all the skills you then can still use, dont profit from nuker buffs.

concerning builds. most people seem to favour the speed builds. to get as many hits in before the nukers/archer kill you. but if you so far played an hp-typ gladi stick to it. you will perform better, because you will feel more comfortable with it.

Ook , so i made the test's last night and what can i say .. first of all i talk't about the critical chance / power from skills not normal melle hit's . And Focus / SoH does not increas the critical chance for skills nor DoF / DW / VS increase the power of critical's. So both theory's are drop't . As for build mainly you go +Str / Con - Dex because you have Dash now so it's no need to worry about speed , but i was curios if there are some other new things :) anyway thank you for your fast reply !

dualists dont have a nuke.

its just a long range skill (tho i have seen necros and SH's silence them selfs because of ripcost stance, in oly) ROFLnoobs

I was right about Wild Magic / Dance of Siren and the +of wit .. in C4 it gave the Duelist critical chance on Sonic Rage .

who is diego vargas
what server do you play on

diego vargas is a user-name over at l2guru. he is/was usually pretty well informed about what classes can and cant do.

shows how much i frequent other forums.

its not like blah is a must read for this game. its just that for upcoming chronicles/interludes they tend to have translations of the patch notes quite early and often more accurate than the offical forums.
