I'm kind of new to the whole "hardcore" PVP stuff....does anyone have any advice for certain stats I should be focusing on?

Thanks peoples! this helped a lot....very long and time consuming to sort through...but good advice!

this would be so nice to have!! There is a ton of things I wish BW would do with this game....it has the potential to be the best game i've played if they would give it the attention we have been asking for. Really excited for the new story though, cant wait to see what they did with it this time!
