Ic willpower and agility set

So as you all know the price difference between healthy and arcane/robust on the jewelry is insane because everyone wants the more magica/stamina but my question is since you usually go for 20 k health endgame and put the health on your bigger armor pieces why you should not use the health on the rings and necklace because it is much cheaper and makes in my eyes no difference on the health , tell me if i m wrong but i dont see the point in buying arcane and robust pieces . Thanks for all answers

Because most end-gamers put all their points strictly into Magicka or Stamina, and go for the highest point value they can (at the expensive of health). Magicka and Stamina translate into attacks and abilities which are stronger and more robust, especially with passives which increase those core values. Since DPS and survivability is the name of the game most go after the pieces which allows them to maximize those stats, do the most damage and survive the longest.

Health is nice, but with most classes having a heal and potions to supplant that, people go for DPS. If you kill that which is killing you first... it doesn't matter how much health you have (especially when food can offer you an instant 5K buff).

This doesn't apply to tanks so much as does Sorcs, Templars and Nightblades. Tanks like Healthy items. They're pretty beneficial.

i'm thinking the same thing

even to the extent of using tanking rings on stam chars

i had the same thoughts. thats why i use my healthy rings and sold the arcane willpower ones xD
i still have 10 points in health, but next time i respec all goes in magicka, without beeing too squishy.

Min max the "hybrid" jewels really aren't as good as the pure ones. But some builds actually work better with hybrid gear. For example my sap nb works better with robust willpower gear than arcane willpower because I use a lot of block casting.

I'm happy to have one robust willpower ring, I have enough magicka but can always do with more stamina; it might mean just one more break free, whereas the magicka would probably just increase my shield value by ~200. 14k stam feels like a luxury to me, it's nice. Still have 34k magicka.

Many people don't really need any points in health. My Sorc has no points in health not any health glyphs on any of the armour/jewellery pieces, yet still has over 19k health with food.

If you absolutely need a health glyph, then large armour pieces (head, chest, legs) are more efficient than jewellery, especially if you get them with infused.

Would you mind sharing your gear , level as well as champion points please.

Thanks,

To reply to the topic:
There's no point going all into DPS if you do not have enough health to survive a boss mechanic or encounter or someone built for high burst in PvP. Have 19-20K health and your golden. I think of it this way if I use a healthy ring that's more attribute points I can put back into stamina.

Im using healthy to strike a balance between HP and stam. Light and medium armor users are easy to kill beacuse of lack of HP, so i thing at least 25K HP must be. Atm ive 27K HP and 27.5 stam with 3150 unbuffed weapon damage and 1300 unbuffed stam recovery. But i have only about 320 CP/
