Faceplate of the Impenetrable vs. Arcane-Shielded

[Agrivain]

Difficult decision.

Faceplate of the Impenetrable

Arcane-Shielded Helm

My block value drops to below 800 with the change, which is unfortunate. Besides the obvious angst of replacing an Illidan drop with a heroic blue. ;x

More health, armor, dodge, defense and str (which adds to BV a little but now you have more AP). It's a tossup. I understand your pain, I just replaced my T6 chest with the one from Old Kingdom in order to get both more defense and some expertise...The socket bonus is a little questionable, but with a stamina gem that increases the defense value even more if you are striving for 540.

I was uncrittable right at 80, due to getting a Seal of the Pantheon in the mid-70s.

It's a question of nerfing my SBV even more for a smallish EH gain. I'm worried it's not as smallish as it seems, though, due to my bias. ;x

[Dreador]

Bottom line is it's only prplz, you aren't nerfing your block value THAT much, and Tier 7 is hotter :P

Arcane-Shielded Helm is definitely the superior helm, but there's nothing wrong with holding onto the Faceplate for the time being for a Block Value set

[hbombs]

ill putting a shield spike on illidans shield.. just to hang onto it a little longer

/agree with Vene

One good thing is that blues are cheaper to repair!!

HBombs - I have a spike on my Bulwark now. that thing should of had that as an equip function anywise.

[Agrivain]

Using the blue, haven't looked back. 26000 unbuffed HP has a way of making you stop worrying and love the blues.

I swapped mine for ground tremor helm, 26k hp unbuffed as well, loving the blues lol
