PM Stat confusion

[Kaydin]

I've started raising my PM, but I'm a bit confused about the different stats. I know that it's stats determine what it turns into and your synth rates, but I've also heard that a pure 100 Tech PM won't get that much better rates than a PM with less Tech. How high should I raise my PM's Tech to get the highest synth rates possible but still have room for other stats? Also, do the stats effect on it's battle ability? I'm aiming for a GH-450, so I'm not going to give it any Striking or Ranged, but will giving it Armor stats effect it's defense in battle?

if you want the highest synth rate on rods/wands, go 100 tech. The stats do not affect it in battle at all.

Pure tech PMs are hard to come by.. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

It gets pretty expensive too.

i easily spent 1 mill getting mine to 100 tech
i used the 1* rods, 350m each at npc. i did that until about lvl 20, then moved up to ulrods...800 each. took about 3 weeks total.

I want a pure 450 to help me in battle when I solo, did have the 410 but figured I could make force weaps, then sell them and buy hunter ones...
But making it is very expensive, I cry a little every time I have to feed it.
