In /p8 HC it will do more good than harm. CS/LF are interruptible attacks which is much more noticeable than the occasional D/A/E animation. D/A/E becomes a problem when using sequence attacks such as jab or fend and even when jabbing you can sit and jab behind your merc/valk without taking hits.



Maybe its online where i get stuck?

MB would be especially good after you get your hands on a CTA so you wont feel that bad about having lower hp pool. How many extra points are you pumping compared to the required for your gear?

I find it not worthwhile. If you tank as javazon you don't play right.

You don't use mb to tank, you use it so you don't get comboed by archers when u are afk in your brain.

As i said previously, around 120 dex is added over what i need for my gear so a loss of approximately 360life to get MB.

Thanks y'all for the replies :blush:


My question is not about what you do with your end game gear tho... It's as of right now entering Hell with crappy gear, am i better with MB or Life?

So far i have Rockstopper, Waterwalk and soon enough Treachery... that's pretty much it about decent gear. The rest is just giving me max resistance with nothing else

I would say that it is your preference really.. You have DR, So would you like to be more tanky, and stand with your valk/merc with max block? or would you rather have extra life and stay back and have more cushion to retreat/dodge before having to juv...

You could even do a hybrid type thing, adding enough dex to get 65% or something
If you are using plugy - i forget if you are, you could just restat both ways and try them out

Go for 50-75% Block, you said it yourself, having high block negates Amped archers + slow reflexes, specially when you run countess/pits. When you get those huge spikes in damage 300 life more or less wont save you.
