I'm only talking about the effectiveness of VIT vs. DEX/Parry over sustained fights (Majority of battles in game) not counter burst damage.

How does a PLD counteract a burst damage? I'm not wised up on the class all too much but as I understand they have 1.5k~ less health, rely on block and parry to avoid damage and pop cool down pre emptively to counter big hits?


Whereas a WAR seems to answer reactively to big hits. I.E. their cooldowns and larger HP pool allow them to take a hit and then heal themselves.




This whole DEX/VIT discussion is ONLY about the 30 bonus points right now. And main comparisons like i say are in sustained combat.
