if you have the defensive stats to lose hard target, backlash is wonderful. if you can survive without mantra of evasion i would recommend mantra of conviction + overawe. it adds a STUPID amount of dps

Stop throwing LOH around like its mandatory.

You need some form of regen. Enough to handle the hits you take while you kill. for 12k dps, you're going to need quite a bit.

For A2... seriously?

That's horribly overkill. What areas of A2 are you having trouble with in such a way that requires such insane numbers?!

with 12k dps loh is his best bet, unless you can stack a lot of life regen.

honestly you need more dps. and i hope you have some sort of LoH too.

a lot of people tend to think because they are dying they need more defensive stats, which is mostly true and a fair conclusion but neglecting your dps is a huge error. as veranor pointed out, your defensive stats should only be enough for the time it takes you to kill the mobs. in that sense, DPS and defense can be considered a substitute to some extent.
