I'm just wondering if its better to stack up lost of citrines in my armour for higher hp or if to use garnets for a better pdef? Lately ive been using a mix of both and i want to know if i should go all citrine or all garnet.

    maybe till 90+ wearing 3* 3xpdef eq with hp stone?

    pdef is good but after x% the hp worth more and mainly in pvp (i think)

    Garnets help more for PvE and are what I sharded for my lower level armors. But now I'm sharding citrines.

    I'll go half both later, but for lower/ now i jsut went citrines.

    4 x garnet gem for 95 event boots. 3 x citrine gem for helm. rest half perfect citrine and garnet depending on number of sockets at that time. ( however my goal lolz)

    it rly depend how much resist you gain compared to hp.
    I'm sorry for misspelling / mistyping and grammar b:surrender

    HP shards


    i dont fear physicals. they have to reach me (except archers). IF i was to shard anything other than HP it would be Def +2 and only in my cape (maybe helm as well)

    get some good end game ornaments. refine them. voila, pdef/mdef (mdef needed more IMO)

    I think either shard type is exceptionally better than the other. Garnets generally are better for PvE and Citrines generally better for PvP. Being your still in your 5X range garnet might be an advantage but you also need to remember there is quite a bit of balance you want to keep. If your going to put garnets in your armor make sure to refine your armor some so you have some HP to absorb everything. Same thing if you refine your ornaments very well to probably put some Citrines in your armor. The correct balance of where you are in the game and what you like to do is what matters. Hard for anyone here to give an actually correct answer.

    Citrines. My sin's gear gives him more than 700 additional hp- at lv 49. Pdef ain't got nothing on that.
    Full power to the Vagiroscope!
