Hi,

Theorically, in High End game, you are able to find the defense stuff you need only on off-sets stuff without the weapon. So, with optimal gear, you can go to the 9% hit with gem on T5/T6 and have enough def to take no crits.

By the way, at the beginning, the earthWarden was really under the WF staff, because it had no stamina, that was really crucial atm.

I definitly think you cannot find that dodge rating on other off set parts… that’s why i prefer the wildfury…

I just hate the frequency of my misses when tanking and more than once, it's caused a scramble to get a loose mob back.<br/><br/>Personally, I've taken to working toward Badge and PvP gear in the hopes of making up the difference.
