Stats or Mit?

[sandwarrior]

<DIV>Hello, i am a lvl 61 guardian currently betraying to a berserker. I've been reading up on items and equipment the last few days, especially since EOF launch, and ive read that its really more important to have higher stats moreso than mitigation? i was wondering what was a good mitigation pctage to have at 70 if you are not at raid level? Any helpful information on how to be a decent tank ( apart from spells, i think i got those down, hehe <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<DIV>Since the update, mitigation took a big hit out side of raiding.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>E.g. your likely to get around 55-60%% mit with the diminishing returns. Past a certain amount, 400 mit wont even return 1% mitigation! In offensive stances im now at 50.3%, if i go defensive it raises to around 54%, worth it? not in my eyes as an off tank / MA.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I myself have tried to find gear with +parry and defense. and have now gained about 14 parry and 20 defense from doing this. The improvement is HUGE.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So all in all, go for stats, get that max health up (stamina) and aim for around 7k health solo at 70 as a minimum.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Hope all that helps in some way.</DIV>
