1, 2 and 4 are not REQUIRED in ganking, but good to have, it all depends on the people you play with. You will almost always have the upper hand with a bow and armor. You will almost never use a melee weapon when ganking. INX PvP will always be about skill, so if they are better than you, they can still beat your ass being naked.

All of them are a "must" in 1v1, besides the bow I'd say. Then again, there is maybe 1-3 people on the server that actually can win a 1v1 event without any armor. Now, if that is good or bad I don't know. It requires practice in that play style, and you need to be a really good PvPer, but it is possible to pull it off. Doesn't make armor and weapon obsolete, but those 3 people can still do it.

I'll quote Chris Rock here, "Just cause you can be a single mom doesn't make it a good ****ing idea". Hope you get the point.

Good post Maka, couldn't have put it better myself.
