glyph of the gladiator

[Melathys]

has anyone considered this for a tanking enchant?

Resilience would help for crit immune more than 16 def, allowing you to drop below 490 even. 18 stamina never hurts.

I suppose this could be an option if you're one of those tank with 109% avoidance (or some such abundance over 102.4)

For myself, I generally try to run as close to 102.4% as possible w/out going under.

You would lose a big chunk of avoidance for a 18 stamina boost. Effective health drop value is bigger than the gain imho.

while i agree that the glyph could be useful >situationally<, i think i would rather replace my BR libram for the threat libram full time if i was in this situation...

that or i would spec out of deflection. :-/

the avoidance loss compared to the stamina gain is pretty terrible compared to other available tradeoffs. I could see it on a resist fight helm perhaps, but that's it.

[Seloei]

On a resist fight helm you would be dropping a +20 resist on that head probably. This is just what it was meant for, gladiators in arenas.

You lose ~2% avoidance to gain 18 Stamina. That's pretty much fail in most situations.

Effective health != Avoidance

But as said this enchant loses out to glyph as much as I support effective health the item level of the KoT enchant is much more valueble..

18 stamina vs 35dodge/def (unless you get use out of the resilience)
8 def gem = 12 stam gem
:. 1 def = 1.5 stam
:. this enchant should be 52 stam

All too easy to forget that avoidance does matter.

I definitely put the glyph of the gladiator on my tankatronic goggles and i absolutely love it

If you're absolutely trying to maximize health, then it's a great enchant. However, I cannot think of a single tanking situation where I'd use this over the def/dodge enchant (or even the sha'tar spell damage enchant!).

Overgearing Content FTW

[Seloei]

If you overgear it by a long shot, either pull more or take off some of the gear. Don't need to waste 200g just to do lower content.

Right. If you overgear the content, use the 22dmg/14hit enchant - it's what I use on my T6 helm.
