What are you looking for stats on items? What you want as aspects. How you build up your paragon board?

Just hit lvl 100 on my ww and I see that pvp viable is only as HOTA.. so time to swap. But never play it. What you guys can tell me as tip for build.

Thanks :)

The pants give you endless bubble just keep hitting and spamming pots to keep shield up. It’s kinda cheap.

They are better. Temerity sucks really bad. ESPECIALLY in pvp where you don't have the damage uptime to do any significant amount of barrier. The barrier scales with BASE HP. So your barrier is going to be pitiful in any case.

I agree with lots of life and tanky, though.

I have 9500 armor and 16,784 hp.

I use 0 life on gear but am trying to reroll a helm (5m per reroll now) for life. Maybe I could reroll my Armor% on chest/legs for life too but I think Damage Reduction has more value.

I'm using strength on almost everything which is why I value armor%

It's my understanding that rogue needs rare pants even more than barb because of how squishy they are.

Rare pants with barrier aspect is WAY better.

Players = Elite
Barrier procs when you start PvP with another player
Full barrier in .1 second (30 sec ICD though)

I'm not smart enough and I don't have the resources to figure out the specifics of the questions you are asking lol

What I can say is "9,482 Armor reduces Physical damage taken from enemies similar level by 88%" for my barb currently.

I am almost certainly hitting some diminishing returns with armor when I stack my disobedience aspect (gain 0.75% armor when you deal dmg of any kind) though. But I think it's only diminished for PvP and not PvE.
