LOL - gearing correctly is a crutch now?

I can't even...

I didn't say that. Great straw man[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The problem is you are incorrect as to what "gearing correctly" means, and which situations warrant what gear.

If you simply max HP on all your chars regardless of class or level, that is a crutch, as you are not maximizing your toon's potential in a lot of cases. Of course we are not talking about raiding Warriors here, as this is an SK thread.

No, I'm not incorrect. You're just trying to bend the definition to support your bad suggestions.

Anybody else would suggest 6/65 rings on basically any character over a ring 7 any day or that trash sky ring.

I wouldn't even classify those as resist gear. If you want resist gear, wear resist gear, not that crap.

It's not a crutch to understand game mechanics or gear intelligently. It's not a crutch to prevent someone from making bad gear suggestions.

You've obviously got some kind of mental condition, though, so I'll let that explain why you keep making up these reasons to defend your bad choices.

If you think +5MR or +7MR on most items is bad, you clearly don't play this game in the same reality everyone else does.

You do realize most people run https://wiki.project1999.com/Velium_...d_Wedding_Ring for resistance rings, which have +8MR, right? You do also know that many casters in the game have dangerous MR spells, while not having dangerous CR/FR spells? Next you are going to say https://wiki.project1999.com/Earring_of_Essence is bad lol.

By having to swap out your 6/65 rings for resistance rings, you do realize that you play the game with LESS max HP, AND you don't die right?[You must be logged in to view images.

I have no idea what point you're trying to make here, but one thing you're making is clear: you're making shit up.

People might wear the generic velium ring when they want resist vs all. People wear JACINTH rings when they want MR.

Quit making shit up to support your point of view. Or maybe you really think you're right and the need to support this delusion is why you keep posting here.

Of course Jacinth Rings are good too. But they don't have AC or HP on them, and according to you HP is better than everything[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The simple fact that you don't believe there are mobs out there that use melee AND magic (therefore AC + MR is a good combo), you aren't playing P99. Many mobs don't need 200+ MR to consistently resist them, so why wear Jacinth rings and lose your AC AND HP?

I am convinced you only raid at this point, or don't play the game at all lol. You are in fairy tale land.

HP + AC is a better combo because it will work for EVERY mob and not just caster mobs.

That's why HP is king.

You get neither when wearing https://wiki.project1999.com/Velium_...d_Wedding_Ring or https://wiki.project1999.com/Velium_...h_Wedding_Ring (you lose 130 HP!), and yet people survive just fine for 90%+ of the content here when wearing them. This fact alone disproves your HP is king argument.

If this was a game where HP trumped all, you wouldn't even run resistance gear, as it takes too much away from your HP. Just by wearing https://wiki.project1999.com/Velium_...d_Wedding_Ring + https://wiki.project1999.com/Velium_...amond_Bracelet , you lose 210 HP when removing 6/65s and https://wiki.project1999.com/Silver_Chitin_Wristband .

If 210 HP was such a huge deal, people wouldn't do this lol.

Sigh. Not even responding to that nonsense.

Instead, I'm going to say: I just realized your shaman is wearing a Living Thunder Earring. That thing is a noob trap, even for a melee. And you're wearing it. On a fucking shaman.

I have no words.

You have such a hard on for max HP you cannot even fathom why a Shaman would wear a living thunder earring. Shamans have limited buff slots, and that earring is the best piece that gives see invisibility, reducing my total buff count by 1. Reducing total buff count by 1 is a bigger advantage than 30 HP lol.

Of course super amazing raid gear like Tormax crown offers see invis, but I have no inclination to get one. Not everyone gets super high DKP items in all slots.

Again, you are living in some strange fantasy land where nothing but HP matters.
