Recently started playing trickster again under my 4114 AP cat, it's been coming along fairly well but there are some things I'd like to know:

1. Being an AP cat, is HV even that useful?  Meaning when considering compounds, equipment sets, etc should HV still be a factor when choosing what to comp/equip?

    - Example: Would the passion set be better suited for me or a more AP based set usually suited for power characters and if so which one?

2. The age old question of Primadonna or Diva.  I've seen the skills for both, yet I still can't decide.  As far as my playstyle goes, though I an an avid PvP fan I'm not willing to spend outrageous amounts of myhax on items.  So perhaps a class more suited for PvM and boss killing?

3. Not exactly a class related question, but how important are the myshop compound enchancement items?  The comp's I've done so far have all been pretty crappy (almost always on the lower spectrum of the range).

4. Currently level 119, leveling recommendations? Not sure if grinding or questing would be faster at this point.

I'm sure I'll have more questions as I go along, but I would greatly appreciated it if someone could answer these.

Thanks in advance.

1.) HV is always useful. It helps you dodge lots of attacks, but in terms of damage, just stick with AP if you're going 4114. HV should really only be a secondary stat on your eq's if you really want it. In other words, focus more on AP until ur satisfied then go for other things.

2.) If you are going pure AP, go for pure 3rd job because hybrid cats are usually pure HV seeing as how cat skills revolve more around AP while raccoon skills focus more on HV.

3.) myshop compound items are just more easily attained if you have cash. They have slightly better comps, but imo they aren't worth the $5 each 3 stones D=

4.) grinding is almost always faster than questing unless you alrdy have the questies available.(contrary to popular thought).
