Reply With QuoteMy personal preference is to stack avoidance only to the point of uncrushability.
I recently got [item]Moroes' Lucky Pocket Watch[/item].
Since I have Avoidance minimums to work with, working it into my gear is proving to be a bit of a pain.
To remain Uncrush, I've had to trade a few pieces of gear:
[item]Figurine of the Colossus[/item] vs [item]Moroes' Lucky Pocket Watch[/item]
[item]Battlescar Boots[/item] vs [item]Boots of Elusion[/item]
[item]Mark of the Ravenguard[/item] vs [item]Strength of the Untamed[/item]
The left being what I was wearing [socketed w/ SSoE], with the Higher EH and the left is what I'm thinking of moving to, with higher Pure Avoidance.
I lose ~330HP and gain 4% Pure Avoidance from the trade.
12757 with +4% Block vs
12427 with +4% Dodge
Is the trade worth it?
My guild has Gruul on farm, and as far as I'm aware we'll be working on LootReaver next, which, if I get the T5 Shoulders should be a good upgrade from my D3 [+~1% Avoidance], which'd let me go from Elusion->Battlescar.

That is pretty damn much. You can forget socketing 12sta if your goal is this...Originally Posted by Wartorn
EDIT: Unless you are a paladin ^^
I'm not talking about passive uncrushability.
every warrior at 490 defense and 5/5 deflection already has 35% pure avoidance from base stats and miss alone. ;P
Do you mean uncrittability? Theres a big difference.
Raid buffed, I've been sitting a fairly large amount above 50% Pure Avoidance [GoA is huge. I'm uncrush without it. Put me in the caster group and chuck WoA out >.<]
I grabbed NB's shield last night which is another Sta hit [over Crest], but a fairly decent upgrade in Armor.
Hopefully next week I get Maiden's Gloves/Neck, Wrynns and Panza'thar, that'd more than easily let me use the Pocket Watch with my EH set.
Yeah, I assume all tanks are uncrittable. But you're right, it's not the safest assumption.
I know it's been posted many times, but here is my version : Uncrittable > Uncrushable > EH > Threat > Parry > Dodge.
I agree with that list.
For uncrushable though, there are two different things:
Uncrushable with shield block up: No gear is needed for this for a warrior. For a pally, this is a factor.
Passive Uncrushability: Can only be reasonably achieved with very high level gear. Not worth giving up EH or threat for, unless you are almost there in your base gear (T6)
