No, you don't. I just played for 4 straight hours running the emperor's group. Killed hundreds of people. Took half the map until it got kind of ugly again 30 minutes ago and we lost Emp. I died maybe 10 times total. Probably less that that. If you know what you're doing you don't need it at all.

Edit: Long live Emperor Flatttttttline. It's been a good run.

So you don't small scale. That'd explain it... Never mind, then.

I didn't yesterday. I love how one example means I never do something. I was a solo player for a good 10 months running the same build.

You have no clue if you say impen is overrated.

Or we're playing different games. My crit resist is 68 ... not 6800 ... 68. I don't die that much and frequently am one of the most survivable people on the battlefield, mostly due to being a Templar.

Like anyone else if I am completely unaware of an incoming attack I'll probably die, but that's rare. With even 1 second of notice I can pop mist form and mitigate 75% of all damage. I can also Breath of Life back to full health from even the largest hits because the Vampire passive Undeath slows down damage dealt to me. I'm often left with just a few health points after a crit and then I'm at full health in under a second. I also stack magicka instead of spell power and use reduce cost champion points so BoL doesn't cause that much.

On second thought maybe I should have made this thread, here's a way to make crit resistance not matter.

See, wearing 7 impen medium and 40+ in restistant on my stam Sorc/stam templar and with 21k health, I pretty much never die from a gank. A combo might take most my health, but I can always break free, roll and heal then go on the offensive.

Without that, one of those moves in the combo hit me for full crit damage and I'd definitely be dead.
