How come?

Willsapper is better overall than epic due to more swing aggro the proc should be about the same aggro red blade being a bit more. I use SoD main hand and Trident in the offhand to slow mobs that cant be slowed via magic slows. That and I don't have a willsapper and likely wont get one since they are primary only.

The diff between the armor sets is pretty insignificant. Of the pieces i do use I use champions because its easier to get during off raid times via plate cycle. Stats are easy to cap if you chose your race right and capping MR is pretty easy with out a bard with a few gear changes. You can min max a few hps/ac with the right set but its not going to make or break you. I think i sit at just over 6k 1350ac vrs 5800ish 1300ish ac with mr gear on. Fear mobs generally dont hit that hard so the 200hps is not a big deal.

Whatever your guild is doing for armor runs will work.

Willsapper is good. I prefer willsapper due to the consistency of hate per swing versus the much worse ratio of red blade. Ac vs hp is subjective and although I've banked red blade I do have my doubts on which is best. When you get vulak landing strings of 6 max hits with 1472ac, you realise that ac is only good to the extent that it prevent those strings. Right now with our current level of gear I am not able to lower the pressure on a cleric chain, I only increase the likelihood of surviving a chain snafu such as a cleric missing a spot or being delayed.
