    TT ones are best considering LA has crappy defenses to begin with.

    About the same really. Lunar recast gives more def and hp while TT gives 4% reduction. The def stats difference get boost by buffs while the 4% reduction stays constant. If money is not a problem, TT is easier since you can just chip the gold mats. Lunar you'll have to either search and buy the ess and chip the gold mats. Or you have one day left to farm it during 2x drops. I got lunar plate and legs for BM.

    I gotta agree with Volst. From looking at the addon's. TT is the better one.

    Well addon's, refine hp amount, and how the gear stacks up to each other >.>

    They refine the same... and what do you mean stacks up? Sin only get 1 piece of Nirvana so no set bonus.

    Um, wouldn't anyone sane want to get the Nirvana helmet as well? It's got better mods, refines better and has lower requirements than the Warsoul of Earth. Even if it costs a lot more, it's still the #1 endgame choice.

    If you see b:cute be sure to take a second, calm look at anything I said.

    Elemental Resistance +4% - 20%
    Not reduction, it increases elemental ress BY 4% Which, at end game lvls, is not that much concidering diminishing returns
    9 out of 10 voices in my head say I'm not crazy... the 10th is singing the music of tetris

    Sin can use 2 piece of nirvana: helmet + pants. This way u stay 5aps and get 5 atk lvl as a bonus. U should count the bonus but I think if 4% def applies to your whole equip that at higher refines it is better.

    Just to clarify, the TT isn't a 4% reduction of damage, it's a 4% increase to your current resists.

    i.e. go for the TT if you enjoy 4 socketing gear and spending 200+ xfer stones keeping it that way at second cast, also if you have high resists already.

    Lunar is if you want the "heavenly" look and prefer pure HP over vit bonus/base resist over % increases
