So you might see me boasting about pvp but I'm always learning. My question, in the mid game area ( idk, 130-180) are dmg rings and items as effective as say.. Stat or skill addition ones? If so, why or why not? My reason of asking, I prefer stat boost rings, but in gwydion a lot of pvp'ers I had trouble with were certain warriors using a lot of dmg items ( like 3 aggy rings and a haste, with a dmg charm ) and getting as close to killing me as someone with heavy lux items. Anyone mind inputing about how this comes into play? I'm not too mathematical, so I don't observe numbers enough to personally take out the precise details in stuff.

Heavy lux if you can afford especially if they add a lot of health that way you can take more hits and thus deal more damage

Yeah that's always been my pathway and I do fine, but as I mentioned these high dps gear players manage to get me down just as far as a moderately luxed player would in my level range
