One of life's questions

[Zappa]

Ive been thinking lately about Euro characters and Chinese characters. Earlier this week, I witnessed(sp?) a level 64+ Chinese thief, a spear, pure int I assume, get killed by a level 32-42 Euro 2 handed blader. This got me thinking: Is it worth it to play Chinese? I know its foolish to create this sort of question out of one encounter like above, but Euro's do so much more damage than Chinese characters. How do Chinese chars beat same lvl Euro characters in pvp? I have two new characters on Pluto, a Euro 2 handed blader and a Chinese pure int sword and shield. Is it futile for me to level up the Chinese sword and shield?

Your thoughts please.

The difference extends beyond just pvp. You have to take into account all the pros and cons of using either race (sic). If your consideration for preference weights heavily only on pvp, then try to not narrow the assessment to only single encounters. To show you what I mean, lets take a hypothetical situation:

A static target (a chinese char) not using a shield, has set defense and hp. Your charachter is a euro rogue, that could deal its minimum damage and destroy that target in one shot.

For every encounter like the one above, 100% of the time, you would get the kill. So does that mean a euro char is better than a chinese char?

There are many pvp situations you would find yourself in. Chinese chars are better than euro in terms of their pvp flexibility and versatility. Euro chars are much more narrow, thats why they work best in a balance team. In the end, both races (sic) balances out in their pros and cons.

ps. pvp isnt just euro vs chinese >,^

Interesting. I can conclude that a lot of it is situational. Its funny though, I was only thinking of strictly Chinese vs. European, after seeing all the threads on here about which one was better, I thought that the two were set eniemies.

Thanks for the reply bud.

I got tired of 1vs1 pvp, I now like to gather friends and do WE vs 1 we take them out 1 by 1
