Is it just the badge cost, or is there some other reason?

For me, it's mostly just the stam. The more hp I have the more buffer I've got for those moments where you are either stuck in a blaze (really bad beams can cause this sometimes) for a few seconds longer then you'd like. With gemming, [Blastguard Boots] can be 57 stam and [Blastguard Pants] can be 75 stam. My gear list leaves me not very far from being capped and with either an Ironskin Elixir or even possible a Fort flask with newer gear I can put in the Torn-heart amulet and be FR capped while crit capped. Maybe even without them actually.

I cannot for the life of me remember why I felt the need to put a voidsphere in the pants though >.>

I'm at work currently so I'll have to check when I get back in about an hours time or so.
