Attribute allocation

[Marka]

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?

I don't know, personally im still on turn 4 and i feel i need every point of VIT i can have, but i think you kinda answered yourself.

VIT all the way.

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.

[saber_alter]

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.

I'd probably laugh if anyone ever attempted to lay down hard numbers on such a thing. Such a threshold does exist, but it depends on the encounter, your skill at tanking, your healers, and potentially the rest of your team as well. It's a moving target. Given the relative cost of swapping between attribute specs at this time, I would recommend swapping your jewelry for melded i70 gear or STR i90 gear in situations where you're comfortable with your max HP instead unless you feel that you can spec to STR fulltime with zero sacrifices in gameplay. The tradeoffs are better and you can swap back and forth more freely.

There is never enough @_@
