HP vs Midigation

I am having trouble trying to sort out my gear. I started by hunting down the best gear to make me uncrushable, and then once I got there, started to replace my gear with more and more overall avoidence and work shield block down in favor of dodge and parry.

I am currently at around 20% dodge and parry, and 23% block, but my HPs are close to 8K unbuffed.

At what point should I start focusing more on HP, and other stats, than overall midigation?

My characters name is Tally on Garona if you want to see specifics. But a general baseline answer will help.


Sorry if this question has been asked before.

You are going to want to get your hp above 8k immediately. Focus on nothing else until you do.

490 defense and 10k hp should be your current goals. Don't worry about the %s for now.

I'm sitting at 500 defence and 10khp unbuffed, running somewhere around 60% uncrushable without holy shield. When I hit 70, I was looking at +defence and +sta gear. For awhile I was at 11khp and 495 defence. As I gather more mitigation gear I try to keep my health above 10k. The last two pieces I got(flesh beast boots and andormu's tear) have dropped me by about 500 health, but boosted my mitigation a ton.

When I got Andormu's tear, I asked one of my guilds healers what they would like better, 3% mitigation or 200 hp, she told me mitigation, so that's what I did.

What I have noticed is that when you get a good piece of +dodge/block/ etc it usually has less sta, so it can be tough balancing it all out.
