    Attribute allocation

    Hey guys,

    Now that I'm tanking Turn 5 in about ilvl87 gear, i was wondering if I had an excess of VIT. I'm sitting at 6890 HP buffed and it doesn't seem like I need THAT much health. I have all 30 points in VIT. Should I reallocate them into STR for more mitigation?

    Will those points in STR get you to the next plateu? If yes, then switch. If not then there isn't much of a point.

    your VIT isn't surprising...seeing how your average ilvl is 87.6...

    from what i see it isn't a big deal whether you re-allocate or not. at this point your technically over-geared for coil.

    If I am giving that vibe, it is not intentional. I just haven't seen any research on whether or not there's a health cap in which it becomes pointless without mitigation.

    Most people aren't at that point.

    I consider 8,000hp to be 'enough' as a Warrior and am now stacking damage stats. If you're at almost 7k as a Paladin, I would consider that enough.

    For examples sake say your doing Titan hits you for 1500 damage each and you have 3500 HP. You know after the first two swings the next swing is likely gonna hit you for the same amount so losing that 450hp you get from VIT to STR isn't going to make or break your dire situation. This of course is a very calculated scenario, but when it comes to mobs that tend to hit harder than that it's a bit easier to predict the treshold you need and what won't help.

    However, since Attributes are a more difficult to swap around at a whim, I recommend instead you go out and buy yourself some DL/Hero STR accessories and instead rotate them with your VIT accessories as you need too.
