Archer pvp build

in PvP Discussion
Hello fellow archers. I currently have 2 sets of pvp jewelry. I have a shade Maze set with rings currently rolled crit 4 power 4 with a necklace with 4 power. And I have a blood vain set with rings rolled for power 4 , crit power .004 necklace with 4 power. Which is more beneficial for pvp?

    Always go for crit with Archer. Unless its already too high. You depend too much on over charged Radiant/Pen Arrow Crits in meaningful PvP to go for something else.

    What is considered too high for this current patch? With my full crit build I have around 300. That's why I got a power set to add weight behind the RA

    Actually, never mind what I said....

    @DomsInvalid you should know when its enough XD not others. If you feel like youre critting a lot already on your main skills, go for Power.
    @Yuhata can we know what you said?..im not main Archer so any other idea are very welcome'd as well, i just see every Archer i know going full crit but i know that what "everyone" do isnt always whats best.

    I crit often enough when im in full crit build, however I just wanted to see was there something else I could have been doing to enhance my dps once i meet the crit requirements. In all honesty, I just wanted to pick the brains of fellow archers.

    Lol i see..well if you crit enough, going for Power can do a lot.
    Even if you crit less often you can hit ~15.000 more when you do depending on how much. Crit is RNG so if you dont lose way too much you might not feel any difference, specially taking how the crit factor-rate gets weird on 200 and higher.
    (Also, sadly there arent many Archers left ;w; thats the main reason why i answered even tho im not so used to the class itself)

    Archer skill crit chance in pvp is pretty low compared to say, certain Gunner skills. About the only one that has a noticeably higher crit chance than others is Rapid Fire.

    With the prevalence of mystics in mass pvp (i.e. Fraywind), I usually go with 3 crit and 2 power, as even with insane crit factor you tend to have diminishing returns above 200 total. Also other players may have high crit resist, either through Unyielding charms or their gear.

    I thought that the ceiling goes up everytime new crit jewelry comes out?
