Ice Phy Def buffs or Bow Attack Rating buffs for Str Blader?

I'm having a dilemma on which to choose. Which do you think would be more helpful to a pure str blader?

Is the end game PvP scene swarmed with nukers thus negating the phy def buffs?

Do pure str bladers benefit much from the attack rating buffs? I'd like to hear opinions.

Thanks!

I dont know much about what AR does..
But I'd say the Ice buff, everything is welcome, especially because you're probably going to use Garment.

I'd go with the AR just bcause if you're don't have either mastery now, the AR bonus is a much smaller SP investment. If you're planning on getting the ice buffs, it takes until lvl 60 before you see a big improvement. AR, esp if you use both the hawk and the passive, can be seen at much lower lvls.

you can add more AR to your weapon with the alchemy. sure, you can have even more if you use the hawk too. but i think the bonus you can give to your weapon is easier and better

So you'd recommend Ice phy def buffs?

I plan to take either line to 60 so I would get the benefit of the doubling from the Ice phy def buff values.

Can't decide!
