150 pvp ma ip

[Blackaura32]

Hello everybody,

Been working on a 150 pvp orientated ma in a defensive setup.
But as ip is really tight, It's not possible to max all the needid skills.
So i got a few questions for people that have gone down this road before.

What skills should be prioritized?

Should the superior sapphisticated bow be used?
The bow skill is a big ip sink. Should AS skill be maxed at all costs?
Or will a high crit ratio supply the needed dmg form AS's?
If so, should I just ip enough to equip the bow?

Should I use a infantry eye for AS skill?
Or would I benefit more from an support eye to save IP on bow skill?

What about fast attack for Flurry of Blows?
Is it worth it to invest ip into it for a higher ql?
Or should i go for no ip into this skill and use whatever is possible?

Im also using a ql 195 wave and a 150 flower, should i push ip some for higher qls of these?

Thanks in advance,
Bats

Regarding Flurry of Blows: Your only real benefit is the +crit for 15s. Those 15 seconds are static and do not change with QL. The crit bonus on the other hand does. It scales from +10% @ ql25 to 20% @ ql200.

So, the question for you: how much FA skill are those extra +crit % worth to you. Remember that in pvp, crit % is halfed.

Is crit % actually halved for MA? Seem to remember MA's break that rule. You'll still have to contend with -crit from perks and gear ofc.

MA's using MA fists still keeps their full critical hit chance without a nerf. The moment you equip a MA weapon or such you'll be running by the halved crit chance rule. So yes, kinda!
