i regularly fight in the 1-29 lvl pvp bracket, and even though i am almost fully dirty statted, i keep my HP to a minimum (5.5k atm) i stat primarily defense and PA and other less used, but under appreciated stats (mp, wisd, def, mdef) and even so i can usually take out people with 13-14k HP (depending on how well they play, there are some people with 7k HP that i can't beat... >.< you know who you are

...). what i like about the lower lvl arenas is that it takes alot longer to kill ppl than the high lvl pvp..there is a cap for your weapons, but you can stat your armor through the roof. so indirectly, you have a bunch of high HP/low dps (relatively) people fighting each other. this is were you start to see more the strat of pvp come into play, people actually need to make a combo and use it to fight. people can be healed while they are fighting, and not just 2 shotted. playing a rogue in low lvl pvp is not just low blow spam, u'll run out of energy and get ur arse whooped that way. a rogue would have to use his CCing skills (blind stab, poison, numbing dagger, and any ones from secondary class) AND complete the SS->LB->WA combo(multiple times sometimes) to actually kill any1 equally geared player. mages have to cast more than their fireball/lightning to actually kill somebody. this i think is the whole appeal to the lower lvl pvp brackets(other than the fact that it is about 1/25 the price of gearing a lvl 70 char) and this is the reason i love to play arena. sometimes i am on that side with one person fighting the 3 10k+ HP guys...but i give it my all, use all the strat i know, and still go at it with full force.
