Hello there,
Having spent the last few hours considering my following upgrades of gear and ran into too many unknown of which perhaps the more experienced ones will know how to answer.
I am currently running 2 pieces grand marshal, 2 pieces gladiator, and very much enjoying the double 35 resilience bonus. Due to the latest epic upgrade, I decided to finally spend some more points and purchase another 2 pieces of gladiator. What troubles me is loosing that 35 resilience bonus from 2 grand marshal, and seeing as we have 2 gladiator sets, the possibility of using 2 pieces from each one comes into mind.
It basically comes down to this:
43 heal, 2 int, -2 sec on weakened soul <-> 35 resilience
While I would take 35 resilience over 43heal and 2 int in a heartbeat, the 4 piece set bonus, remains an unknown element which i can not evaluate. While there were a few scenarios where I would came out of fear/blind and being unable to shield would be a millisecond late on landing a heal, those scenarios occurred quite rarely in 2x2, 3x3 and never 5x5.
I browsed several top ranked priests, just to find them using 4/5 piece gladiator, but that can be due to the fact that same bonuses from different sets did not stack before 2.1 and thus rendering the gear choice quite obvious.
Thus, a new evaluation (and your help) is required and much appreciated
