what to chose, with avatar u go over crit softcap(unless u switch crit out from pet and accessories, then it should be only a bit over 3k), but get almost permanent 1350 power and recovery, only hard to maintain stacks on boss fights with a lot of movement/cc , and not so fast gives u full 1 stack/target hit. why in both destroyer guides they chose 2/2 valiant avatar ? both not so fast and restoring strike have below 10sec cd(i use restoring cause i dont have regen/lifesteal)

and armor enchant, soulforged is nice, but when u have 23k hp one red attack takes u from over 25% to dead most of the time, and ive noticed it not working when ccd some times, what could be a good replacement

    What can i say, from my experience for AOE fights like the entire run of Malabog Castle for example, you should go for 4/4 Avatar, cast 1 AOE encounter like Roar on group of mobs to fire up buff from Avatar and crush mobs using IBS. Before 10sec buff run out of, use another encounter to extended it. Do it entire run and it gives you +1350 Power/Reco almost permanent. On the other hand i tried new Fabled set 4/4 and my DMG was pretty much the same so with Fabled u dont have to count seconds. Combination 2xAvatar/2xVigi/or 2x Fabled its good for PVP when u can maximize your attack/healing using both sets bonuses.

    I have no idea what to use when you are sentinel GWF and your job is to tank, but that is what i can say about dps GWF on destroyer path. I tried use 2x Avatar/2x Titan for CN last boss when i had to tank and it was pretty good with Restoring strike for Heals, Punishing Charge for run out of red spots and Bravery for run speed and Deflect. Some GWF's i spoke with on Dragon shard said, that they using now 2x Fabled/ 2x Vigi or 2x Avatar permanent but they stack every offensive slot with Power, i dont, so no idea how it works for them, they said its fine but you never know.

    it was mostly about crit softcap since avatar + ancient puts you there by themselves, and i am about as far from tanking as u can get with GWF, with 52~53% crit(with tr and all buffs up) weapon ench isnt a question anymore, so its just armor ench since most reds hit u for well over 25% and armor set, atm i think ill keep avatar and maybe reduce my crit as much as possible, though the only thing i could replace it seems to be lifesteal i dont really like

    for encounters i use Restoring, cause its fast, crits for up to 20k and i dont have lifesteal so that + pot can give me almost full hp. not so fast for instant avatar set bonus and IBS cause its IBS + restoring and not so fast are at 9.6 sec cd

    Well im using Soulforge on my armor and it saved my life many times but alot of people told me that i should try with Negation. Barkskin looks fine as well on the paper, but i cant tell you how it works in battle.
