Imbued Armor question.

[JojoTheDog]

<DIV>I recently bought Imbued chest plate..... 5% chance of healing.</DIV> <DIV>My monk doesnt get hit often, but when she does, its usually hard.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>From what I have read, monks rely on not getting hit, while other</DIV> <DIV>tanks get hit more, but for less, so in the long run its works out</DIV> <DIV>to be relatively equal.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My concern is imbued armor for monks will be less effective</DIV> <DIV>than other tanks if you need to get hit for a chance of healing.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>i.e.  (just an example)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Monk gets hit 10/50 times for 5000 damage.</DIV> <DIV>Other Tanks get hit 25/50 times for 5000 damage.</DIV> <DIV>(Theoretical, but you get my point)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Equal damage, however other tanks have a much greater</DIV> <DIV>chance for imbued benefits.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Is this correct, or am I missing something?</DIV> <DIV>Look forward to any thoughts on this.... Thanks</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by JojoTheDog on <span class=date_text>04-28-2005</span> <span class=time_text>12:14 PM</span>

You're correct that it reflects a minor imbalance.  My opinion is that it is so minor as to be irrelevant.  For instance, the fact that we get hit less (and thus have reactive procs go off less) also means that we take fewer hits from stun attacks meaning that we do more damage and have fewer taunts interrupted by stuns.

<P>You are correct. It does represent an advantage for mitigation tanking and non ward healing. While the healing portion may not be a significant factor in groups, it could be very significant in solo situations.</P> <P>The post I have done on this subject focuses mainly on the reactive damage aspect, that can be increased to very high levels through use of imbued items and player spells. Your concerns are equally as valid, please stop by and add your comments to the other thread.</P> <P>Az</P> <P>Nek</P>

<P>Thanks guys...</P> <P>I do agree that in soloing it could make a significant difference.</P> <p>Message Edited by JojoTheDog on <span class=date_text>04-28-2005</span> <span class=time_text>08:00 PM</span>
