After taking a look at your profile that appears to be exactly what you've done. 276 resilience and you're sporting a [Tsunami Talisman]? In 2v2 the double DPS teams are scary enough as it is wearing a Battlemaster trinket at ~300 resilience. So, yeah I guess it's easily achievable if you sacrifice a fair amount of other stats. |
You don't have to go a pure lionseye route to get that high, 38% Crit is easily achievable with 2-3 PvE pieces (Gurtogg ring/RBB is what I use) with 1800ish AP and 350 resil to go with it. Reds just need 5 str/5 crit instead of 10 str and yellows need 10 crit. Since I am either a 35/23/3 or a 41/17/3 (Depending on what bracket/team comp) me not scoring a crit at least every 10 or so seconds is a 4% loss in DPS from blood frenzy. Even with 2 ham strings, 1 MS, 1 WW and 2 white attacks, the difference in up time from 20% Post resil crit, to 25% is extremely large.
