Is Resilience back?

In the past, we’ve looked at the relationship between Defense and Resilience in order to cheat the Defensive minimum (currently 540 defense) however, this practice has largely fallen out of flavour as the accessibility of PvP oriented gear that’s superior to PvE oriented gear just isn’t unbalanced anymore. That doesn’t mean though that we should ignore the PvP enchants though…

The Quest for even more Stamina

A while back, we looked at Defense and how we could maximize our health when hovering around the 540 minimum, but what I missed was this enchant:

30 Stamina and 15 Resilience

I had remembered a while back that I had noticed a trend of the more savvy, bleeding-edge tanks were starting to utilized it on their shoulders and in a recent discussion with a friend of mine, it got brought to my attention again. Why aren’t we using this enchant?

What we give up

20 Dodge and 15 Defense

What we gain

30 Stamina

How this matches up…

If we look at the trade in the same light as the Defense:Stamina ratio post then it looks pretty hot, but then that’s not exactly all the information this time as there’s the Dodge component thrown in there as well. Does the dodge matter if we’re going for maximum Stamina? Nope, it really doesn’t.

15 Defense vs 15 Resilience

Or more to the point, how much equivalent Defense towards becoming uncrittable are we gaining from 15 Resilience?

22 Defense Rating.

What it all means

If you’re a maximum Stamina junkie then there’s absolutely no reason not to use this enchant. It’s going to offer you more rating points towards uncrittable than the defense shoulder enchant and it’s going to offer you 30 Stamina as well.

It’s a simple win-win. Get it.
