Fending Accessories

Go in with ilvl 130 gear and at 11k hp and let me know how long you survive. Then we can have this talk about vit being no more important for tanks than any other class.

The vit isn't what's making you survive. Armor does actually provide defense on it. Go into an just about any mmo and ask them about stacking hp, they'll all pretty much tell you the same thing, cross the min survivable hp threshold(usually automatic) then get other stuff(usually mitigation, but in this game that doesn't exist so it's dps).

Thanks I've played them long enough. And since I've said several times they need to add defense/magic defense to tank jewelry... ya.

The hp threshold being met withotu jewelry is the problem.

No, the problem is the lack of any sort of real diversity or defensive stat options. HP bloat doesn't equal defense and there's no reason why they should be enforcing vit accessories as a mandatory choice for tanks. Allowing the HP threshold to be met from left side gear alone allows for far more options for jewelry if they had some actual options for us to pick. But as it stands right now it's either: A) take Fending and give bad players more of a cushion or B) learn how to play optimally and use Slaying/Pentamelds to help increase kill speeds and actually mitigate damage by not dragging the fight out.

The only way defense being on VIT stuff would be appealing is if it was done as a raw damage reduction and it would have to be at a level that it was more beneficial than running with higher DPS.
