*For this last stat build using Accessories Arua 75.50 + Hirias Tear 75.50 or /w Tanzanite 7 actually works very well for katar v katar.
*Charm stat builds are for debuff values to increase for Blind l Katar Upper skills. Those of you with PVP Screw Attack its Critical debuff and Crazy-Style Slash Def Down debuff will be increased with charm.(I do not personally recommend using those skills though)
Of course I always recommend players search for their own build through training and experience but this can just give some a general idea of where to start.

-When fighting Dual Blade, I found it very effective to time your Katar Upper/Blind After the Dual Blade uses Freezing Assault unless you're able to time Stuns on the skill to prevent it. Because the attack is slowed down so much, it's better to redo your Debuffs after Freezing Assault hits you so you don't waste full ASPD during the cooldown time of Freezing Assault. - It has to be timed and counted
Using high Accuracy/Dodge with some Critical against a Dual Blade works very very well in my experience. Watch your HP for they can bring it down in a few hits to almost death.
Skill tree is the exact same way when fighting Dual Blade and Katar.

- When fighting a Sword Champion, the skill build isn't a Mystic Knife build. Match stats, Run to them with Blind, If they hit you with Soul Wreck first which has a chance to mute, run forward using regular attack until mute goes away. Start attacking until the mute goes away then use Stun - Blind - Katar Upper - Cloak - Attack. I usually use this combination in most situations. If opponents mute misses you and you get Blind in, use stun - Katar Upper - Cloak - Attack. From there get used to the fight and watch your HP very closely because champions can swipe most of your HP down in a few landed hits.
-When fighting an Axe Champion you have to make sure to time your Blind - Katar Upper - Cloak - Attack appropriately. Remember they have multiple stuns, insane Critical/Accuracy. You will need high damage/dodge/critical to fight this class. They can take your life in 3 hits. 45% damage cap.

-This guide does not include every possible solution to Gear l Stats l Skills. It's just options available for Katar players that are looking for a direction to head. Although I included more gear that I show that can be used for Katar v Katar, It's just gear most Raiders tend to get for more options vs other classes. Yes Speed Set Gear has been included, and of course some katar players use a variety of 60.40 items, not just the ones listed.
-Some players like to use Mystic knife also, or 1sp on cloaking/stun. But for me personally I have adapted to this skill build the best. There are some Katars that take Mystic knife to sleep their opponent when their hp gets low to buy some heal time(I consider that a nooby/cheap move in 1v1 that just draws out matches so I don't do it nor use it). Anyway, This is another option for some players to use.
*From my friend iMatt, Mystic Knife can also be used for debuff control
iMatt: "its main idea is controlling your own and the enemies debuffs (critical weakness) - I use it together with cloack and sucker punch to remove my enemies debuff on me without losing my own buffs (adrenaline rush etc) which gives you then a huge advantage to burst your opponent with your superior crit + crit multiplier down fastly."
*For players interested in Mystic/Venom Knife build. Ill include it when I have a little more time.
