Best armor enchant for (buff) GF?

I still have my lesser SF and its one of the armor enchants with acceptable visuals. Not so much sense to max it, right?

Which enchants is good for a GF? Since you cant disable the effect on the armor I would rather go with an average one than the best you can have, if its effect is over the top.


Honestly, since I use the lathander set, I dont know If loosing my SF is such an good idea. I love this "second chance" enchant. But all the other stuff is maxed out already and I just got my armor enchant left.

    For PvE buffing GFs, there's only 3 worthwhile enchants: Soulforged, Negation, and Elven battle.

    Elven battle saves you from CC effects and makes you regen stamina faster. I don't feel this is necessary due to Villain's Menace and Tide/ITF/ET, but I recognize everyone does different things.

    Negation is a boost to your DR, but it won't help you if mobs die quickly or you can't survive the initial 2-4 hits.

    No point in upgrading your Soulforged, as it looks fugly when upgraded, the high ranks only shave off only a few seconds off the Soulforge's recharge timer, and upgrades are expensive.

    You said you have "everything" maxxed out?
    Offensive slots?
    Defensive slots?
    Mythic Artifacts?
    Legendary Artifact gear?
    R12 Bondings?
    Bonding companion at legendary?
    Active companions at epic?
    Companion only gear?
    etc?

    Then you're done, there's not much else you can do to tweak your performance.

    No point in getting a Negation if you already are sitting pretty at the DR Cap.

    Already spend about 4 million. ^^

    Is the cap still around 80%

    *_*

    Correct. DR cap is 80%. Monsters have ArmorPen, which is typically 15%.

    So it is adviseable to stack up to 95% DR so you can account for mob ArmorPen.

    I probably sound like a broken record for saying this.

    Alright, so Negation was the right choice to empty my AD account. B)
