    +10 gems are only good if u hv a hh99 gold set or if u need gems for ur nirvana. I think that or putting them in Event gears is the only time to use em well thats what i did

    Vit shards by far

    Vit +10 = 170 un-buffed HP

    2% decrease in dmg taken would not = 170hp un-buffed even :P

    The game is dead

    More of a matter of preference.
    With usual shards (be it perfect or immaculate, even gems), HP shards will definitely bring back more to you simply because you have a flat amount of HP Vs a flat amount of Ph.Def.
    However the grade 12 stones will bring your Ph. Def. in % and that is a totally different story.

    0_o we are talking about Diamond of a Dragon when it comes to Defense, right?
    Shouldn't that be then 1% in damage taken?

    There's a new shard that does +2 def (check jewelcraftsman) called jade of defence or something like that.

    I personally went for stones of savant because I felt it gave a better benefit all round vs the def stones, especially when you consider that 2% of a barb's mdef is not very much >.> and we already have more than enough pdef.

    Yea, you craft those +2 def jades by combining 3x of the event diamonds @ npc.

    Srsly though, if you manage to socket your entire gear 4x each piece with those things... you're gonna be one tough kitty.

    Only in my boots so far! If I ever get my hands on enough crystals to craft nirvana armor, I'll do my best to shard it with them as well.. it'll be a slow process though, I think they're back up to like 25m each since the anni packs have disappeared =(

    I still am not sure cause u can have a total of 24 sockets not including weapon and if i put 24 +2 def shards, u r increasing all defense by at total of 48% (mind u that this goes in effect for magic and ph def) + if u got solid shield and Pan Gu's Giant Axe that is almost like a 24/7 invoke ur on b:pleased at the same time if u put 24 +10 vit shards will give u 4080 HP extra for a barb. there for i really can decide wat to start collecting for b:sad
    I wish i had the money to buy 2 tt 99 armors and shard one with +2 def shards and the other with +10 vit shard but im not even close to being that rich b:cry

    so help plz all u high lvl barbs who do a lil but of TW as well, wat do u thing is better a secondary invoke or 4k HP??

    HP all the way. When you consider that the +1 / 2% def stones are a percentage of your gear's defence bonus, not your total defence they're not that awesome (i.e they are calculated before extra def from str and other % increase modifiers like you get from being in tiger form / cleric or BM buffs).
    However, they are significantly cheaper than getting vit stones... good luck buying 24 of those. I've bought 5 so far and my pockets hurt bad.

    24 +10 vit stones @ 20m each = 480m + 24m to put them in gear = 504m happy grinding :))

    diamond of dragon ? how much it takes For defense level?? can someone screen shot this ? 1 or 2???

    I am not sure about VIT stones and Diamond of dragon. Both are epic (I think diamond of dragon -2% dmg taken each).


    240 VIT = 6732 in HP buffed tiger form , idk how much p.def and m.def and hp recovery (possibly 24 HP recovery?) total. Really even more sweet for barbarians, but the problem is its expensive.

    If diamond of dragon is true, it will work with instances too.
    52% damage taken total, with blessing in instances its 42% damage taken total... You have to depend on damage debuffing to decrease p.atk and attack levels. Its cheaper than the stone of savant.

    Not sure which to choose. Is it worth 50/50 at least? + I rather use RL cash for that much lol

    Thanks for Flauschkatze for siggy b:cool

    VIT > STR > DEX > MAG... GG
    HA > LA > AR... GG

    HA + VIT = win b:bye

    I think you missunderstood how def gems work. They dont give you more p. def or m. def.

    They work like this:
    Each defense level OVER the opponent's attack level decreases damage taken by 1%

    Equipping less than 24 +2 def gems makes it hardly worth it. Though, if you manage to get all your Equipment 4 Sockets and get 24 +2 gems you should notice a real difference.

    Still i'd say vit gems > def gems by far. Atm i have 8 vit gems equipped on my armor and i have to say i love it. Vit increases not only your Hp. It also inrceases your def and your hp recovery. And its a great feeling if a wizzy hits you for 10k and it doesnt even tick your charm. :D

    Last but not least keep in mind that a lot of our skills are based on our HP (BKI, True Form, Armageddon ...)

    cheers
