Hrimnir rings & amulet for tanky GF

Hi,

I am playing a protection tanky GF and recently won the amulet and one of the two rings. Are they worth using or should I sell them? I am currently using 2 154 def/defl/life steal rings and 150 power/arp/crt amulet.

Thanks

    I debated this myself and came to the conclusion it wasn't worth it because it ends up diluting your stats rather than improving them.

    You are currently getting 154 Defence, Deflection and Life Steal from your rings, for a total of 308 in two slots. With Hrimnir you will have a total of 180 in three slots. Yes, Hrimnir will also give you Power/ArPen/Crit (180 to each in three slots rather than the 150 you currently get from your amulet), but I don't think it's worth it considering each of the three rings is giving you the equivalent of a r3 enchantment and all three together a single r7 (alternatively, if you can get them, each piece is the equivalent of a single r5 Savage Enchantment for ArPen/Crit and the set is better than a r8).

    For all intents and purposes, you can get better stats by simply using your current gear and slotting r7 enchantments for +185 in each of three slots to the stat you want. You're spreading yourself too thin by bolstering stats you don't need (for a piddly amount that won't add much anyway) at the expense of lowered stats that you do need.

    That's my take on it anyway.

    set used to be bis for tanks before the patch.. now i dont find it to be worth it cause recovery is kinda a dead stat, regen in pve is not rly the best while lifesteal in pvp is pretty poor so pretty much u become bad all around. What i find to be the best setup for a tanky GF atm are cleaving rings with blessing neck. More the 3500 def is a waste imo, i;ve tanked all content with that and 1300 lifesteal, i am a conqueror spec so for me lifesteal is better! For a full tank spec i guess regen but u are a dead weight in a grp as it is now.

    If you use the stats in hrimnir, yes. I agree that recovery is not that great for gf after the great depression of aug 22, but I think regen is definitely the strongest defensive stat you can get. Have high HP and regen and it can save your butt a lot when you have to kite at FH or because things are looking bad in a boss fight.

    Is there a soft cap for recovery now? Maybe I missed the change that you mention...

    Always has been.

    That said, I still like the set for my GF. Rounds out some much needed stats.
