I’m not forgetting the sigil, I don’t count anything that i have to rely on to proc (even if it is a 100% proc chance).

“However, you can get more passive mitigation with the stonegarg run since it will free up more defense 25 = 125 raiting you could get rid of the seal and equip the 84 dodge trinket and also have the ability to ungem 2-3 +16 defense gems for 3 dodge gems. and you would be back at the same defense per run but you have effectivly increased your passive mitgation by 2 % and gotten 600hp out of it”

The trinket is 84 dodge. 3 dodge gems add another 3*14=42. 126 dodge rating gives (before DR I think) about 3.2% dodge. Now that’s a bit less then the 4% that Swordshatter gives. If you want to give up 0.8% avoidance for 2% HP and the use on that trinket though, then go right ahead. I think I personally will (the use gives a decent boost).

I had crap luck too on the seal, I just got my brother (he’s already epicced, i’m jealous, but made it easy to 4man it when we couldn’t find a 3rd dps) to dps and my priest friend to heal and we’d just grab anyone else we could and i farmed it til it dropped. Like i said above, it took about 15 runs. Getting the helm from regular oculus however only took 5 or so runs.

Boreden
I forgot about the dodge trinket, thanks for reminding me about that.

Forgot to mention it’s 123 defense rating for 25 defense skill.

If you want to stack avoidance, I’d probably go with the 8 dodge, 12 stam gems. It provides a happy medium. Your choice though:).

You know what, that’s actually a really good idea Boreden. I think I’m going to start collecting dodge gems in preperation for the patch.

Yeah Dralgor, everyone who has Seal of the Pantheon says getting their defense up to 540 is easy. I’ve run that instance over a dozen times and it still hasn’t droped for me. I just have really shitty luck I guess.
