Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

For a tank.. is the 6% increase to stam/magic/health from putting on a light/medium piece worth it?

Im sure by now someone has crunched the numbers. Assuming i wore all heavy armor, if i then put a light belt and medium glove ,boots or shoulder, would my numbers increase over all? Im guessing health would go down slightly due to the passive of heavy armor being reduced but stam and magic would jump up quite a bit right?

    Maybe worth if you use undaunted passive. Also to personal taste what you need. Not really sure that your hp goes down but armor does.

    Well armor isn't too bad. I actually already am running with 2 mediums becuase thats the best i can get from the monster sets (both medium blood spawn).

    However i actually got both heavy today..lol so in saying that, i can now have 7 heavy pieces OR i can recraft my belt as light and my boots/gloves or gloves as mediium. Essentially ill have more armor then i did since im going from medium to heavy helm. I got used to having 29k unbuffed armor and about 36k buffed.. that just jumped up with the addition of both heavy blood spawns set pieces.

    armor as a dk isn't tough to get, i keep hardened armor up all the time..

    I was just wondering for min maxers that were tanks, if the undaunted bonus actually comes out on top over having a medium and light piece.

    Seeing that you lose 1% health bonus from heavy pieces and you gain 4% from undaunted, that should be a no-brainer.

    Hmm well, a difference between 5H/1M/1L and 5H/2M or 2L for example isn't that big of deal. However (especially with Imperials) I really like having high resource pools. 2% extra health is quite a bit actually.

    The main reason why I use the 5H/1M/1L is because (yeah even as a tank) I try to put out some dps, which means I can increase the stat that I use as dps (the 2% extra health also goes into that stat).

    I just make the belt light armor, that way you almost lose no armor and spell resist.

    But I feel like it's not going to a lot, it's more of a personal choice.

    you know what man, i hadn't even looked. So ya, 1% vs 4% is self explanatory..lol for some reason i tought it was 2% per piece so id lose 4% and also the regen. But 2% lose vs 6% gain is definitely worth it.. if you get the right pieces light and medium.

    thanks
