I dont think shaftstop will keep you more safe than treachery.

Replacing treachery and string is going to get you instantly killed by blunderbores, bats, dolls, zakarumites, frenzytaur, trees, and anything that can FHR you.

If you aren't using a defiance merc or cold armor, don't worry about def.

imo

I very much appreciate the input

And in fact, I think both of you are probably correct. However I think shaftstop and my rare belt fit better for my playing style..
I fear my death will come from using my switch tele staff and getting ganked with no %chance to block. Mainly what I lose is that 45ias boost (and a higher res boost from fade I suppose) which can be crucial for being able to deal out damage quick enough and leeching back enough life...

However I don't think it's necessarily clear which is the better setup:
With this new setup I still have 30% DR (consistently), an extra 100+ life, a slight FHR bonus, consistently better resistance (no need to proc fade to have ~75 fire lite cold res), extra defensive bonus against missiles (which can pack a serious punch when I'm not close enough to leech back life), and a 8% less chance of getting hit (from 30-22%).

Really, it's just a personal preference
