With the huge Bloodspawn nerf, I'm looking to other sources of mitigation as possible substitutes. Potentates x 2 seems like an obvious option.

Primarily for noCP PvP (BGs), what do y'all think is better this patch, Bloodspawn or Potentates x 2

    I like your thinking, for pure mitigation potentates is a good 2 piece bonus. However overall, bloodspawn is still good. In no-cp bg sustain is live bloodspawn gives you that, it gives ultimate which means kills, then it offers limited mitigation on the side nor more that before.

    Even with the nerf if you’re wearing bloodspawn there’s no reason to take it off, still not another set good enough to replace it.

    There’s even more reason to keep it on for those no longer running vamp.

    Yeah, for my medium armor stam toons I'm thinking:

    If Nord -> Bloodspawn
    If not Nord -> Potentates x 2

    I gotta get that constant mitigation from somewhere (I don't like dedicating a 5-piece bonus to defense), and Nord provides it. Thus I can be a little more flexible with the defense from a monster set.

    But if I'm not benefiting from Nord's resistance passive, I'll need Potentates x 2 to get that extra bit of mitigation with 100% uptime.
