FULL VIT STACK WITH VIT GEAR


So, I started out with 30 VIT stat Allocation and used your typical VIT and Parry tanking gear. I didn't want to prejudice the Parse at all by playing in a different play style than my STR set up so I tried to maximize my Self heals and Damage the best I could. I had an HP pool of 6861 with Defiance.

This is what I came up with for a 31 minute predictably-smelly DF run. No we didn't win.

I did my best with it. My self heals were pretty low: 876 for a low inner beast heal and 1878 for a high. My DPS? 71.88 with one parser and 76.29 with another... and that was with me actually trying to you know... DPS. That's really low. And it shows. I mean 876 for an Inner Beast is basically 0.1 of my total HP pool. Most of the time it was healing around 1100 or 1200 though but it did well with Crits that run. Inner Beast hit for an AVG of 415.30 or 1245.9 healed.

Another issue was hate. The Offtank PLD made a FLASH at the add to catch Chirada. Unfortunately, Garuda caught that too and off she went to wipe the party. She was literally gone in a flash. So my hate was pretty tenuous too. But I guess that's to be expected when my Enmity is through damage and I'm doing so little damage.

The healer was handling pretty much 100% of the weight. I healed about 4 percent of me and the healer did about 96 percent of everything... so let's try to change that.

STR 20 VIT 10

I switch back to STR 20 / VIT 10. Now I'm working with an HP pool of 6498 with Defiance... not that big of a difference. Let's make it bigger with a Peltast Ring instead of an HQ Amber ring and my HQ Darksteel melded Heavy Flanchard instead of a Darklight Heavy Flanchard. HP is now 6360. Now let's reset my Parsers and Try again. It was another DF 30 minute Lose Fest with some good results on the parser.

98.44 DPS for one and 96.31 with another this time. My highest Inner Beast healed for 2910 and my lowest Beast for 1035 On average it healed 1385.34. My healing climbed to 9.84 of healing done to myself, though the main healer was a bit spammy.

25 to 27 more DPS is nothing to Sniff at. 5 percent more healing isn't either.
