Alright, I recreated on that simulator, and thank you =D

[COME AT ME BRO]

OP furious winds + cyclone kick. Gonna be a lot of QQ going on. I guess it seems ok. I'm not sure how pvp will be at the lvl 50 cap, but having both lvl 32 skills maxed seems a bit... overkill to me. Also, if you're planning on pvping, I'd max the MP recovery or at least put a few points into it. You run out of mp pretty fast especially if you spam butterfly float a lot. Hopefully someone else can give you some input.

High Spin Kick is... useless. I haven't seen a build that utilizes it effectively. How often have you used Low Spin Kick in PVP? How often have you used it effectively?

HP/MP is quite essential for pvp I think. I've seen several vids where acrobats run out of mp. Not a pretty sight. And HP is quite powerful in ladder, especially combined with Life-giving craft. I'd max HP, and at least get lvl 1 MP recover.

Evasion lv 2 seems like a waste. 4SP for a mere additional 1.5% chance to evade.

I'd also grill you for not having SB or Shortbow Mastery, but since you're a pvp build, it's not as essential.

-Updated- thanks for the input, and I quite frequently use High and Low Spin kick to continue wall combos xP, and two maxed level 32 skills probably is a bit overkill so I put it in the mana and health.

Well, if lsk/hsk works for you then use it. Personaly though, I think if you have to resort to using lsk that means you need to work on your skill rotation better. We have a lot of skills that pick up opponents from the ground.

I'm interested in your wall combos. I know warriors can pull off mean wall combos, but this is the first time I heard that acrobats can do it effectively.

[Phoshizzlit]

lsk/hsk'ing someone towards a wall causes a rebound like the warrior, it chains really well with your other skills and since it's on a lowcd you can pull off at least two rebounds off the wall.

I know how wall combos work. I'm just not sure how effective it is for acrobats since you're relying on knockdown first. Seems that there's a lot more (better?) options for acrobats out there.

Anyway, like I said, if you find it useful in pvp, don't let me or anybody tell you otherwise. Trust your own experiences more.

Oh, and since you don't have spirit boost because of you being a pvp build, you may have to accept the fact that you may be unwanted in pug nests and resign yourself to guild nest parties xD

Oh my, better hope my guild is willing to help me out then LOL and I'm wondering how crucial is Kick Shot EX in pvp?
