I hear 2 things comming from sins.
A. sins get noticble differenc appx 20 dps
B. sins don't get noticble difference in 20 dps
If B is right, then why wouldn't sin trade out wrist, belt and sholders (t4) for scarelet pcs for the huge boost in prot. sense so much of sins dps comes from weapon damage and feat points, (i.e. weapon damage and combat rating from feat points) then why do sins use t4 boots, wrist & sholders?
Arguments
1. use pvp gear for tenacity = I ask why sacrifice dps and prot for such little tenacity? (remember we aren't talking main pcs)
2. be so quick and fast you don't take damage = Unless you are kuzo or some real pro sin; sins die way too much.
I understand that sins have extra prot in feat points but still if you get about 350 prot from those 3pcs = about 5% prot, for saccrivice of about maybe (guessing) 20dps which will bring sin from about 470 to 450 why not use extra prot.
speaking from own experience, I remember when I was a lowbie and I died 15 times with 1 kill and died every time in about .5 secs. This is when I had .5% prot.
Now that I have 29% prot. I survive WAY MORE. (that's with t4 chest/leggs) so I know that a little prot goes a long long way.
If I used all dps gear like sins It wouldn't take much for me to die from half wit caster. so why don't sins use a little more prot to stay in combat a lot longer without dieing.
don't say somethign stupid like avoid hits when casts are instant, dots always tick and you can't avoid a cast unless you hide behidn something in which case you aren't attacking. I have too many smart** reply to my posts.
