In any case, SCHs definitely don't need much PIE at all. Having more of it just means you can slop even more Adlos, Succors, DoTs, and Shadow Flares around without having to come remotely close to an OOM situation (when you probably weren't getting close to OOM in the first place). If people are dying so much that rezzes are that taxing on MP, it's either a wipe or the corpses need to be left on the ground in favor of supporting the players who aren't dying every 2 seconds.

As for hands, I currently use Scylla's for the added crit even though they can't be made 110. I might not "upgrade" until the next i110+ armor option with CRIT.
