Impenetrable Vs Reinforced

In regards to PvE as a tank with a lot of health, do I need to worry about crits from mobs? I currently have an impenetrable set, but i was wondering, if I went full reinforced for PvE would that work too?

✭✭✭✭✭From what I can tell, mobs don't Crit all that much. Even if they do, all you need is about 200 points of Mitigation (about 2 or 3 pieces) to cover that.
However that being said, I have not ran Impenetrable on any armor for any PvE activities in a long time. Once I got Infused and Divines researched on the pieces that I use, that is all I use on my armor. I can block any attack this side of a spell if I have some Stamina in the pool.
Maybe Trials and DSA have some bosses that have some different mechanics that offer up more Criticals to deal with.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

✭impen is worthless right now. reinforced is better. especially if ur going heavy armor. light armor reinforced wont do much.1 -

✭✭As far as I know, only DSA/vDSA mobs are able to crit.
Anyways, someone did the math around the 1.6.5 PTS to show that at least for heavy armor, reinforced will always be more mitigation than impenetrable, even in a PvP environment where most players run 60%+ crit chance. Can't seem to find the thread, however.Edited by Leandor on July 10, 2015 9:23AM0 -

Seth_Black✭✭✭You definitely need REINFORCED pants for occasions when you see 40+ people charging your way
But Impenetrable pants are also handy to get additional protection for attacks 'from behind'

Kudos, your post made me laugh all over the office. I seem to solidify my image of crazy nerd with random outbursts...1 -
Petros✭✭✭PvE Mobs will not ever crit, Crit is a player stat, not a mob stat.
Even in DSA or Vet DSA, they do not crit. THEY DO buff themselves with higher weapon damage buffs but they will not ever crit.
Impen is for pvp, Reinforce for pve

Just make sure you also use a Brown Dye so no one sees your pain.
