Priest Chitin+7/12 or Priest FP+7/12 HP?

[Kyosuke]

Would the chitin be better or the fp, lose def for more hp or lose hp for more def? or whatever it is.
Thanks, ps i have no other choices

[JDizzle]

chitin +7...

[Kyosuke]

Oh yeah sorry, its for dcz.

Quiet logical that priest chitin +7 > Priest FP +7...However it would be a whole other story if the FP has a higher +.

No question take the chit. If the FP was +8, maybe then, I still wouldn't without good uniques and maybe a goblin chitin pauldron. Fp +9 is a gogo.

I prefer my FP +8 over chitin +7... Love to have loads of HP

[MrsOwnage]

FP +8 if you can afford it. If you cant, stick with the chitin +7

[iiason]

chitin +7 is obviously > the fp +7.

except it more expensive. :S

[akutee]

chits +7 would be much better than fp +7.

you're comparing two very unequal (in prices) based items.


Fp +8 and Chits +7 would be a closer comparision, in that case, i would take chits pauld + pads + helm, and fp gaunts + boots

Guys, I'm sorry but you have it wrong. Let's compare the chitin +7 and FP +7:

Priest Full Plate Helmet Helmet +7 65 def 13000 95 str 148 int
Priest Full Plate Pauldron Pauldron +7 102 def 13000 99 str 156 int
Priest Full Plate Pads Pads +7 86 def 13000 97 str 152 int
Priest Full Plate Gauntlets Gauntlets +7 43 def 13000 91 str 140 int
Priest Full Plate Boots Boots +7 43 def 11000 93 str 144 int

Priest Chitin Helmet Helmet +7 84 def 14750 98 str 164 int
Priest Chitin Pauldron Pauldron +7 134 def 14750 102 str 172 int
Priest Chitin Pads Pads +7 112 def 14750 100 str 168 int
Priest Chitin Gauntlets Gauntlets +7 56 def 14750 94 str 156 int
Priest Chitin Boots Boots +7 56 def 14750 96 str 160 int


OK you gain 103 defense, not bad, but did you notice the stat requirements? Look at the pauldron: you need 3 more in STR and 16 more in INT. So basically you have 19 less stat points in health, or about 300 less HP (not to mention that the additional points in health would help you recover 19 defense, because you gain 1 defense for every stat point above 100). So, net you gained 84 defense against a loss of 300 HP. I don't think it's worth it.


Now compare the FP +8:

Priest Full Plate Helmet Helmet +8 72 def 14000 97 str 150 int
Priest Full Plate Pauldron Pauldron +8 111 def 14000 101 str 158 int
Priest Full Plate Pads Pads +8 95 def 14000 99 str 154 int
Priest Full Plate Gauntlets Gauntlets +8 48 def 14000 93 str 142 int
Priest Full Plate Boots Boots +8 48 def 12000 95 str 146 int

The FP +8 requires 101 STR and 158 INT, vs 102 STR and 172 INT for the chitin +7. So, you have 15 more stats in HP with the FP +8. On top of that you gain another 15 stat points in health because you have +8 / 15 instead of +7 / 12. So, net gain of 30 points in health, or about 450 more HP with the FP +8. The defense difference is now much less: chitin +7 defense is 442, while the FP +8 defense is 374 + 15 (for the additional stat points in health) = 389, so basically only 53 more ac for the chitin.


Would you trade 450 HP points for 53 more defense? I would not.


PS: you could boost HP at the expense of losing a bit more defence by using a goblin full plate pauldron instead of the FP +8.
