i have a problem with PVP as PLD

[bbt]

Use your standard fending armor and then all striking/+STR accessories. If you use PvE gear, upgrade to warwolf from pieces that have only tanking stats like parry/accuracy (they're useless in arena). You also don't need the extra vitality as much as you do the strength, at least until the meta changes to where the tank is focused before others.

And skills.. all of them? Rage of Halone should be used for the combo bonus damage (+61%). As for cross-class the good ones are all clear cut: Mercy Stroke, Fracture, Stoneskin, Bloodbath. I don't change anything from my PvE build so Foresight is in there too.

I can't confirm if Foresight does anything in PvP but outside of that the only other option is Cure, which, while useful in theory, doesn't really have a place in the arena where you rarely get a chance to freecast it. Even while bubbled I would continue a combo over casting a Cure or two.
