If you're looking for Focus to help you out as an MA... good luck...
you won't get much aside from a small viral deflection bonus which won't do
much of anything for you anyway. It USED to give an overall combat tactics
bonus, but that changed long ago, only adds to range combat tactics
now, which is only good if you're combining your MA w/ Duelist, which
many don't consider as MA, largely because of ct stacking thus it is
the high rolling addition from Duelist seeing you through fight, not MA
itself.
I'm primarily belief with a dash of perception, when i max out
everything my belief is 51 and perception 32, I absorb over half dmg
done to me, and when kick in Aikido toughness buff, attacks from that
point on just tickle. With 32 perception my average roll is only 281,
but does that +3 or 4 that the full perception people have on me matter in
PvP? Nah', any MA worth their salt knows a way around it, on top of
which because they're full perception they have a major glass jaw, no
defense. I'll go belief before any other stat for any class any day.
