Subject: Could it be a way to go to do PvP instead of PvE?

I checked out the items I would be getting from the ranks, and Im wondering if it wouldn't pay off to actually go PvP instead of sitting in instances for so frikking many hours, and getting nothing out of it?

Look at my set up to only rank8:

Name Rank Ar Sta Int Spi Magic Special
Sergeant's Cloak 4 115 17

Master Sergeant's Insignia 4 17 7
Sergeant Major's Silk Cuffs 5 31 14 6
Knight-Lieutenant's Satin Boots 7 61 16 15 12
Knight-Lieutenant's Satin Gloves7 56 11 21 50% non-disturbance
Knight-Captain's Satin Leggings 8 78 16 13 16 19
Knight-Captain's Satin Robes 8 89 20 20 16

I hope it holds the format, otherwise try to cut/paste it into an editor maybe...

From what you can see, this is VERY decent PvP stats, and I get all items except head and shoulders (rank10 items). This is a VERY solid foundation for a PvP character! The purple PvP gear is 20-30% stronger, but at least this set brings me in the ballpark. The purple PvP gear is 50-60% stronger than the ordinary blue gear we get in Strat/scholo etc. :)

The good thing about this gear, is that in my case, I get +dam/heal while getting excellent stats at the same time. With the ordinary sets, I have to compromise. I barely get any spirit, but fights are so fast anyway, that it is rarely a factor - the fight is fought, and I use water to get back up if we won.

K�tta is already as good as rank7 with not too much effort. It seems that rank8 is achievable fairly easily.

If we spent all our time doing PvP and then did our sunday MC, wouldn't that bring us to where we want to be alot faster, and having alot more fun?
An additional bonus is that we practice our PvP and teamplay, which should make us able to beat every single pickup group in there (60-70% of the fights are against pickups).
