Maxing STA with gear means you don't need an STA buff, saving you a slot and maintaining your max HP while getting dispelled.

AC helps on some raid mobs. If you think all raid mobs are AoW you are mistaken.

Resistances are not a noob trap. Please wear resistances during raids so you don't die.

We are talking BIS, and AOW is the BIS example. Nice try, but you're wrong.

BIS warriors do not swap resist gear. Quit posting. You're wrong.

Don't even know what you're arguing here. Are you implying that you have to have dagarn pants to have 255 STA? Because you don't.

AoW has been cleared many times with warriors wearing Wurm Hide lol, so I am not sure why you have such a hard on for AoW here. You don't get all of your gear just for AoW. That is silly, as there are many other targets out there. Most raiders cannot afford to buy every possible side grade imaginable for every possible fight, such as Koi Greaves for Koi. So my advice is for most people. If you have enough DKP to buy every item in the game, you can just buy it for fun.

I never said BIS warriors swap resistance gear. That is a straw man. You said resistances are a trap lol. That is stupid. BIS warriors have good resistances already because they have... BIS gear. https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:Detoxx - he has 160 FR CR MR before buffs. Having 200 FR/CR after buffs is going to help in a lot of fights with AoEs, to save spike damage in between CHs.

It's pretty simple. Having max STA from gear means you don't need a STA buff, saving a buff slot and maintaining max HP on mobs that dispel. Pretty easy. Low STA races need more STA to reach cap without a buff, and not all warriors have the exact same gear. Having more STA items means you have more flexibility in which items you put in a slot when you are the typical raider who can't get every slot BiS, even if you play a lot.

Sorry you don't get Palladius' Axe which has more AC

See, you moved the goalposts to match your argument. Just like before. Nobody cares about your opinion on non-BIS warrior gear and how it applies to non-BIS warriors. If you need a STA buff, you are not BIS.

Back on track:

So are SoDs.

I did not move the goal posts again lol. The way you argue is you fixate on a very specific scenario and assume everyone is doing the same thing. We were not only arguing about BiS Warrior or AoW. You can check the thread lol. You brought it in because it is the only way you can try to win the argument. And you couldn't even win then.

Imagine quibbling over 5 HP on a 22 year old game and not even taking fashion into consideration

Ban both of them for scripting replies, you can’t respond that fast with human delay.

BiS doesn't mean "Best at fighting AoW", it means best in slot. Overall Wurm Hide is going to help you more in a raid than Koi Pants. Koi pants are slightly better than Wurm Hide when fighting Koi due to the Enduring breath and Koi not having fire spells. The 5 HP difference will not matter in AoW, so it is irrelevant there.
