Diablo 3 - Toughness & EHP

[@KingsWei]

Great video, Moldran. Being a crusader, I was surprised to learn that when all my leftover points was put into armor, the toughness is actually slightly higher than if they are all in % life. Now I'm tougher and more survivable than before. Thanks!

Hey moldran, awesome video, I now understand how D3 works thanks to you! I notist that the links to the oter videos at the end of this video are wrong. Crusader guide and RoS highlights leading to wrong videos. keep it up! :)

***** Hey Moldran, very nice video. Question: When do you switch from All Res Gems to Stat Gems? What are the pros and cons of it? I know it boils down to preference, but what's your tip on min-maxing your character in terms of that?

[@Moldran]

Depends on what Torment you wanna play on and your current gear. DPS or Toughness? Is the problem a lack of damage or a lack of survivability? The only important thing to remember is, to NEVER use Vitality gems, as all res gems give you a much higher value compared to affixes on items.

What do you think about Eldrich Battery + Mind over Matter + Arctic Armor for tanking?

[@wallabror]

I think ZiggyD made a really effective build using that

[@Ghork1]

ye aura mom eb ir aa EK is really nice, had one in nemesis and ripped with 2 of them at 60 and 75 in invasion, 2 invasion bosses i hadn't met before, not really the builds fault, playing 1h ground slammer atm

[@lpdemodimi]

good classic moldran guide :)

[@JelleStreet]

pots and health globe = percentage based. Therefore life vs armor only makes a difference for your healing stat. And since pots + health globes account for almost all healing done in the game, there's practically no difference (whereas in vanilla d3 the difference was insane)

[@hldemi]

Yeah, but if you use relentless then its best to have bigger life pool so that the relentless zone is bigger.. also then its mandatory to have big life per sec... So then the life regen , and big life and war cry with invigorate is better then taking less dmg bcs sometimes there are no health globes around

Moldran, if you ever come to Sweden you can stay a my place.

[@Stickyxgo]

When did you get the TF?

[@ZomgZomg007]

confused he says life% is even better....when compared to armour....but it was pretty much the same for him, except armour would be a better mitigation. Life% needs to be recalculated when toughness works the internal calc.

[@RaventhortheWarrior]

He didn't say life% was better compared to armor. He said it had higher toughness based on the # the game gave, but armor was better in theory.

[@BobberW]

What is best for the dh 2 one handed og a 2 handed and a qiever ? :)

[@JohnThunder]

Yes you're right vitality and life% is an artificial way to increase toughness

[@AcidBuu]

its simple really if you have more life you can take more dmg in a short period of time if you have more armor and all resist you can take more dmg over a longer period of time since melee takes dmg all the time its better to be able to take dmg over a longer period of time

[@surceriol4603]

so, u quit streaming again? XD

[@Ragatokk]

Mocking theory, thats not cool dude... High HP compared to high reduction is very inferior in theory once you include live regeneration from flat values.

[@BahamutEx]

i have more than 10million thoughness... xD and my armor is at 18k, gg moldran :D (my paragon level is low btw)

[@draggsy2]

2 cool 5 schol

[@Digerkiller]

can you please stand still. i understand if its some bad habit but it make me loose focus on your speaking. thanks in advance

[@CoD6PwnD]

softcore noob

[@Nikolai4567]

You make some good points, but you still miss alot of them. Like you said, toughness is a buffer-tank, that shows how much dmg you can take until you die. But then there is healing, and there is a huge amount of ways to make a heal-tank. The only thing you talked about was absolute healing, but you forget procentual healing!: First, you forget, that healpots are procentual and that everyone has a base healing of 0.6*toughness/30. And there are even more exampels of this: Lets say you have a Crusader with 6/6 Akkarats Champion + 60% cdr, now you have Akkarats Champion on 20s Cd, this means, you get a FULL Heal every 20s, so now you real Healing is toughness/20 + 0.6*toughness/30. So it all comes down to what BUILD you are using. Realy, all three of the Stats Blizzard provides are cancer and poison the Community. Just remove them all together!
