Hi!

i need help with choosing the traits i should use for my Warden Tank for pvp, normally i always put impenetrable in all my parts, but i think i'm doing wrong... i let you down the combination i was thinking and you can tell me what you think. This would be for pvp no CP campain and battlegrounds.

Heavy:
Helm - infused - Truly Superb Glyph of Prismatic Defense
Cuirass - infused - Truly Superb Glyph of Prismatic Defense
Greaves - infused - Truly Superb Glyph of Prismatic Defense
Girdle - Impenetrable - Truly Superb Glyph of Prismatic Defense
Sabatons - Impenetrable - Truly Superb Glyph of Prismatic Defense
Shield - Impenetrable - Truly Superb Glyph of Prismatic Defense

Medium:
Arm Cops - Impenetrable - Truly Superb Glyph of Prismatic Defense

Light:
Gloves - Impenetrable - Truly Superb Glyph of Prismatic Defense

How do you see it? i know maybe Prismatic defense in small parts is a little bit crazy for big cost of the enchants, but that is not a problem for me. And the other thing is i'm not pretty sure if i should use Reinforced or Sturdy in some of the parts.

Ok any help is very welcome! thanks for your help! :smiley:

    That seems pretty ideal for no CP, though if you wanna be tankier you should have access to Transmutation or change at least one more piece to impen. The tri-glyphs are a no-brainer, even at the cost. I would (and did) do the same.

    @Waffennacht While I do agree with this, I’m curious if it would be better to use sturdy on smaller pieces for something like a MagDK (in either heavy armor or light armor). Meanwhile continuing to use impenetrable on the larger pieces. I have read somewhere that around 3k critical resistance is what a player should aim for. However, is 2.5k to 2.7k truly critical resistance instead going to be noticeable? Especially on a build that relies heavily upon blocking; block-casting?

    I've found that MOST of the time 2.5 etc is absolutely fine, it's that every once in a while you'll run into a build that makes you notice the difference.

    Quite frankly it's more about the player. Impen everything always is more solid for the general public.

    Sturdy etc is gonna perform better for someone capable of using them correctly.

    What it boils down to is: are you good enough/ ok without having all the impen? I could rattle off names of players that wouldn't need it, but for the most part it's a good choice.

    Champ, I'd say you're good enough to venture into non impen territory

    drives me nuts having to use impenetrable traits on almost all my gear (I mostly pvp)...totally useless for pve...

    would be nice if every character didn't have to carry one or two extra sets when going back and forth from pvp and pve...

    Normally all 7 impen, unless you a troll tank then run all 7 sturdy and impregnable armor.

    what, are you just messing with me @Waffennacht (lord knows considering the amount of trolling I do on these forums I most definitely, probably deserve it :))...

    I mean impenetrable does involve diamonds, but, i think they're relatively worthless in game...

    Edit: hey, now that I notice it - i see they never rolled the old preposterous gold gain trait into any of the other traits or even invigorating...

    I'm actually not lmfao, the Reduction of damage done to your armor means you make the most gold (by way of not spending it) by wearing impen :lol:

    You can easily get 1k impen just through CP and depending on what boons you have access to through gear and class—protection, mostly—impen is overkill. You only get the Crit trickle over anyhow, if you use a shield, which any non-stam toon uses (and you’re dead if you’re mag and not using one). I find 1k to be the sweet spot. Stat budget is better spent elsewhere after that.

    .... You find 15% ish crit damage reduction to be the sweet spot?

    I wouldn't even bother with that little of impen, you're dead anyway if you get bursted.

    In CP my sweet spot is 3k
