This may or may not change come LU#7.</span><div></div>

Did you happen to get them from Nek castle? I too had a pair of Very light slippers with similar stats. I used them up untill they turned green I thought they were very good. However if I had a chance to do it over I would have just sold them. Later you will want to upgrade to a Light Armor piece for the AC / Mitigation when a caster could use them up to Lvl 50. The whole attunement system kinda makes choices like this very hard good luck. :smileyhappy:

I would use the light armor boots. <div></div>

I don't think it's a good idea to sacrifice AC for a few more points of AGI. While AGI helps AC does play a pretty major factor in how much damage you take per hit and if you tank or even off tank (as most Monks do), you will get hit a lot as a monk.

You can also check to see if the added agility will increase your avoidance enough to account for the minimal loss of mitigation...  and realize that you are losing 5 str so you will lose a touch of damage output... See? I didn't help at all I just made it more complex <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></span><div></div>

<DIV>The additional stamina and health on the very light boots will also take a bit of the sting out of losing the mitigation...</DIV>

<P>Those boots are sweet!  But I would not trade 76 AC for 8 AGI.  I would be interested to see how they affect your stats to make the decision. </P> <P><FONT color=#ffff00>For example (an example only):</FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#cccccc>Mitigation = 40%                                    Mitigation = 60%<BR>                                               =</FONT><FONT color=#cccccc><BR>Avoidance = 75%                                   <FONT color=#cccccc>Avoidance = 50%</FONT></FONT></P> <P><FONT color=#ffffff>If your new boots (with high AGI) give you the first column and your old boots gave you the second column (higher AC), it would make no difference what boots you attuned.

You have to consider the STA as well. Basically it comes down to: would you avoid enough extra attacks and add enough extra hp to make up for not getting hit as hard. In my opinion the mitigation wins out because at this point in the game, mitigation seems more reliable than avoidance. You also must consider that you won't get much money for this peice. Very light armor pieces that don't give INT haven't sold well in my experience (i.e. Shadow's Weave) which I wear in DPS mode, but only bought for like 15g. <div></div>

the very light armor ones no doubt <div></div>

Before robe had more and tunic had less agi (my old tunic that is)   The AC loss was about equal to the avoidance gain by agi on robe and robe had an effect so wore it while tanking.  Altho now have one with more ac and more agi and made the change worht while <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>Scary thing is plate firend using a shield has  59% mitigation and 67% avoidance.

<P>i would say stick with the mitigation, its not like the agility affects you directly, moreso it works in tiers to my knowledge.</P> <P>100+ agility gives x% boost, </P> <P>100+ strenght gives x% boost, </P> <P>Therefore 101 -149 wont matter for the most part. Thats the way they explained it when they adjusted strenght remeber?</P> <P>but 70AC matters alot, avoidance or no, you arent going to get far past 75% avoidance without a full group setting. </P> <P>So anytime you are tanking, forsake the stats and go with the mitigation, you know that you are going to get hit for sure, so brace for impact moreso. You dont know when and how you will avoid though...</P> <P>So in other words certainty is always better than uncertainty. if that helps any.</P> <P>Good luck!!!</P>

<DIV>I'd go with the VL boots.  The extra stamina should yield over 100hp I think.  The extra agility would probably only push you about 0.5% higher in avoidance though.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>One thing to keep in mind is that if you are in a full group and your AC is being buffed the way it should, 70AC really isn't all that much.  On the flip side of that... a few extra agility isn't all that much if a druid/bard type is buffing your agility by some absurd amount. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Kind of a toss up I think.  If you are fighting casters, I'd go with VL boots and all the resists you can get.  Mage NPC don't hit for much but the pack a wallop if you have poor resists. </DIV>

Do those happen to be unkempt sliippers of valor. I was looking at a pair today and was wondering the same question <div></div>
