Tanking Gem Bonus Worth Meeting

[Hostile99]

The only bonuses worth meeting is 6/9 stam right? If it isn't that, just throw in a 30 stam correct?

[Nikoll]

+12 stam is the only one worth getting. its usualy in the helm slots. slap your one agi/stam their and stam in all other spots.

[Nillo]

FaQ says at least + 9 stamina.

Yea follow that faq, you'll go far. :

I personally like to squeeze in agi/stam gems when possible if it'll give me a set bonus, I think thats only happened on 1 piece that wasnt a helm so far though.

Once we unlock 25m HM's that may change as I usually dont overkill my EH for content im doing.

Coming from someone who wears noose of malachite or bracers of dark reckoning for item level I can see how you're an expert at this game. ;D

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

for max health: one 10 agi/15 stam in the head for the meta, rest 30 or 51 stam.

read up on your facts before laughing at others. agi is better than dodge for paladins.

You just made my day. Incredible post.

Not sure how it works with paladins, but for warriors it hugely depends on what contend you are doing.

If you are tanking 25man hardmodes stick to the 12+ stamina socket bonus only. If you are clearing 10man you should go for all stamina bonusses, since its a lot less likely you will be 2shot in 1second. And if thats the case, avoidance becomes better.

festergut 10 man heroic hits very hard. soul reaper (10m normal) hits for 46k. stamina stacking applies to ten mans too. maybe not to the extent of ignoring non-blue 9 stam bonuses, but it is still the best strategy.

Clearly, you are not a paladin tank, and if you are, I pity your raiders....and any LFG random heroic groups that get you...as its apparent that you are clueless about min/maxing.

Don't make an ass out of yourself by loling at others when you don't know what your talking about yourself.

OOOH NOES! YOURE NOT GEMMING AGI! /KICK FROM H OK!

[Ugrana]

12 Stam on pants with 2 non blue sockets is not worth it, so No, do NOT regem your pants.

Edit: and get that 10Agi 15stam out of there. its not helping anything and is just losing you HP

This dude speaks the truth! (team sarcasm strikes again!)

Anyhow, I wouldn't go for any of the socket bonus, except the one in your helmet to activate your meta-gem.

Using a red gem without activating a socket bonus is fail => regemming pants to 3 * stam and using the red slot in the belt would be the correct thing to do.

Agl gives pally tanks dodge, armor and crit chance( better threat even tho its typically not needed). l2 pally class
