When i have enough points for the full focusing line, i will go down that one. I play on nagafen btw.</div>

I never use defensive stance really, what do people use it for?

The list goes on..My advice, think long and hard on how you duel and where you are weak in your class and PVP.. DPS is thrown out the window when doing PVP.</div>

You can really see it when you solo, having nearly 8k avoidance with your defensive really makes it something,and being able to hit equally as well makes it even better... Lets face it, the downfall of a ranger on PVP against a war or another scout is being hit very easilly..  This compansates for that and still allows you to do significant damage.</div>

Guerilla is right, pvp is not quite like dueling.  DPS is stll king and melee is crap for ranger no matter what.
