This is a specific question to an item I found.

Got a pretty decent roll on an IK helm, I'm looking to roll one stat out for %crit damage

So what's best to get rid of, 88 all res or vitality (not at my computer so I can't tell you the exact number)

This is a barb specific question. I'd be interested to know how vitality vs all res compares on other chars.

It depends.

Int. champs, dont really need All Res. They rather have Vit.
But I think rolling 500+ vit even on a Barb, is better than 88 All Res.

Best advice, keep playing ti'll you find Ancient helm

If you have sufficient regen/life steal all res is 10x better. My monk has 200k life but shitloads of armor and all res and barely takes any damage. When my barb is the opposite and dies easily.

Yea but as james said for wiz and wd you want to stack armor then vitality because intelligence will give you 70% of the resistances you need.

ideal helm usually have:

primary
cc
vita
socket

or

primary
cc
skill
socket

helm with @ is usually considered trash

MONK WITH 200 K LIFE???? did you even hit level 70?

Its end game built dude. And tough as nails. Thats what i said above that life is unimportant if your armor and all res is high because you take fuck all damage from attacks so lots of life becomes meaningless. What does level have to do with this anyway?

It still has 38m toughness with 200k life. 8.5k life on hit. Sucks in enemies hits 5 enemies at time with skill and attacks 2 x per second. So you do the maths. It also dodges 70% of attacks. Plus damage reduction from elites, melee and ranged attacks from other secondaries.

And not to mention the freezing bell which freezes all the enemies around it 95% of the time.

As i said life is unimportant when you have high damage reduction because you loose very little health from attacks.

how high Grift you have made with that monk? i bet its oneshot on 35+

if you go ww barb, vitality is an amazing stat simply because of blood funnel. hit maybe 850-1k @ and then just vita/%l anywhere you have room for defensive.

Always go vitality on helm vs all res.
500-750 vit vs 90 - 100 res?

Obv choice.

Not to mention if ancient.

What's your highest greater rift clear solo with those stats?

you think 38 M toughness is a lot? you have 70 % dodge? then your true toughness is something like 22-23 M. i play with barb with 200 M and i take damage. you think 8,5 k life per hit is a lot? you get 8 k from paragons only
