I am seriously considering the Greater Inscription of the Gladiator instead of my current [Greater Inscription of the Pinnacle] http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/wo...Logo-Small.PNG as I simply dont need the defence. If I replace my back enchant with +def. has anyone else done this?
It's one of the options for anyone who is looking to stack more stam. Not everybody does it, but many do.
I started using it once I got my T9 shoulders, I was in the same boat def wise, and the 30 sta I thought would be more beneficial for H. ToC.
If you have the honor points, I say go for it.
I use those and everyone can if you don't need the defense. You don't really need to pvp for it tho. If you turn in 150 Stone Keeper Shards you get 10k honor to buy the shoulder enchant.
what most people also fail to realize is that 15 resil is roughly equivalent to 22 defense rating in terms of crit immunity...
If you like the stam more than the dodge take the enchant regardless of your defense status.
What most people fail to realise is that defense gives more than just crit immunity :PQuote:

I've actually met several people that did think that anything over 540 Defense was a complete waste, so yeah, I thought I'ld give it a mention anyway :PQuote:

Maybe i'm just a Dodge-[expletive], but I have a hard time giving up the .41% dodge. Is giving up that much dodge worth the 30 stamina?
I'm here to say yes, if for no other reason than at this point everyone expects me to.Quote:

Does resil still give crit immunity?
Blizz once came forward that they wanted to keep it strictly to PvP.
Have they followed up on their plans?
Also remember that defense is a very good stat if you are going for unhittable.
If you are wearing a shield, that is.
I really, really like def.

Just wanted to point out that resil provides more crit immunity per rating point than defense.
If you are refering to me quoting you I simply did it to reiterate what you said as a reply to the post above mine.Quote:

blizz said most of the effects of resilience are pvp only, namely the reduced damage component, however, crit immunity still works for pve.
They followed up atleast partially by making resilience reduce all player dmg rather than crits, mana burns and DoTs.Quote:

Resilience still works for crit immunity in PVE? i thought they changed it so it doesnt effect PVE anymore, mainly because of the hardmode thorim cheese where you can stack resilience?
resil still works for pve for crit immunity yes.
This is also a great enchant if you're too lazy or completely sick of farming hodir rep on yet ANOTHER alt. Until 3.3.
