hi, i have question regarding Relic armor compared to legendary argos. i noticed Argos armor adds like 400-600 defense bonus per item and like 300+ vit. How ever relic gear doesnt have any defense bonus and base defense is the same as legendary. it doesnt seem to me that the vigor bonus wich gives more hp then vit. outweights the loss of defense as its a 2.5k loss in defense? so basicly you lose a lot of defense in exchange for dps? or how should i view this
Relic items give Vigor to you. This status basically converts to a % hp. They don’t make up for the loss of defense! However, the defense of the relic set is enough for all contents (within the required ilv). One thing I could observe, is that players whose set ILV (armors) are below the raid ILV, take more damage than they should. For example, players who decided not to reach lvl 19 in armor, and chose to upgrade their weapon to 23-24, receive more damage than someone who is on the same ilv, but with armor on the raid’s ILV.
(and believe, it hurts)
it also depends on the quality of the piece , regardless , relic is better
Ye in terms of dps or bonus effects but what about survival? losing 2.5k in defense seems like a lot
Relic is superior to legendary, you have better set bonuses and you can enhance it further than legendary.
