[shane15]

<DIV> <DIV>Ok i currently have Dragonscale Shoulder Pads: 272 Mit 30 Str 30 Sta110 Hlth 533 Vs. Heat 7 Defense</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My question is would this be best or would Gnorbl's Hollowed Eyestalks be better?? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Gnorbl's Stats are: 272 Mit 21 Str 19 Sta 27 Wis 120 Hlth 110 Pwr 35 Vs Piercing 533 Vs. Heat 533 Vs. Cold +1 piercing +2 Focus +3 Defense</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Would lowering my + to defense from 7 to 3 lower my mit? I have saved up to get the Gnorbl's but if it not going to be better i don't want to spend the plat on it so what does everyone think? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks in advance all input is greatly appreciated, </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Xane</DIV> <DIV>70 Monk </DIV> <DIV>Unrest</DIV></DIV>

Your mitigation wont go down , but your avoidance might.  Personally I like the dragonscale more-- i find gnorbles to be too mixed between healer stats and fighter stats, much like a lot of leather in the game........ ......If youre looking for nice shoulders, I suggest getting into some lab raids and shoot for the excarnate shouldergard. I should mention though that I'm biased toward tanking gear--i assume since youre asking about mit that you are also.  <div></div>

An extra 100 hps is nice. With that said, however, the excarnate, as the above poster mentioned, would be better for you.<div></div>

with current game mechanics just go with whichever one gives you more avoidance. it is all about avoidance right now and mit plays no role right now in tanking. cloth wearers can tank just as well as anyone else if they had the hp's or avoidance.i just maximize my avoidance nowadays instead of a balance.<div></div>

<DIV>Yeh you should just get excarnate, i use them over Gnorbl's till some new t7 ones drop. So stay with Dragonscale, since Gnorbl's generally look decent and are fabled so obviously w/e prosumes there worth 50pp or w/e</DIV>
