Poll: Gear progression, horizontal or vertical?

[Nektulos-Tuor]

Let me explain to you how good Horizontal Progression Works.

Ok, So you have about 3 sets per class-type.

Tank-Tank
Vitality
Parry (5%)
Extra Armor (5%)
Effect: Raises threat, small chance to ward yourself when attacked.

Tank-DPS
Vitality
Strength
Determination
Effect: Small chance to Lifetap when you attack.

DPS-DPS
Strength
Determination
Critical
Effect: Lowers threat as a tank-raises damage

The Tank DPS/Tank-Tank set have the same resists, and the

Bla bla bla

The sets have the same resistance, overall armor, health (besides the super DPS stuff). So you go after what your playstyle is.

You don't need to "farm sets" you go after the set that fits your play-style.
