Does Impen really make the difference?

Say i finally got fed up with my squishy PvE Stamblade, and spent the resources making a separate set of PvP gear, all Impen. Would there be a noticeable increase in survivability? Would i suddenly be taking a lot more hits than i usually can?

    Yes

    But you still cant stay in the middle and wait to be hit. You need to dodge, escape, regroup, heal whichever you have the opportunity to do

    I go with 5 impen minimum

    Yep I think so.

    Sure some bursts still gunna get ya, and some stack crit damage, it avoiding 50% extra damage (if you hit 3300 resistance) every other hit def helps!

    Yes because crit damage matters in PvP. It won't change the fact you are squishy but it reduces the chance of you getting ganked by some players.

    If you are squishy you could go the other extreme and go all damage to gank, but you limit the fights you will be optimal in and your playstyle. PvP really is a different beast. I change sets and skills swapping between PvE and PvP. I also change skills depending on whether I'm grouping or soloing in PvP. Find a good group and listen and ask questions if you really want to enjoy PvP.

    I used to run 5 impen + some points into crit resist. Once I slapped on impregnable and sat around 3.5k impen it felt completely different. Not invincible but tanky enough to suit my play style. You will definitely feel the difference.

    Each piece of impen is like 3.7% crit dmg reduction.

    It's completely mandatory unless you are going into pvp with the intention of being a rag doll. ;)
