I’m a filthy casual.

This thread pushed me to crank up my AC for my “tanking gear” set. Yes, fashion had to take a back seat.

After picking up about 50 worn AC it’s made a noticeable difference. Idol of the Thorned, Seahorse cloak, velium fire rings, DW bracer #2 and wearing DW arms, etc, Barbed legs. Stats took a dive along with looks but tanking has been much easier in Seb king and even my Earthshaker greenie farm runs need less Cel cleansing casts.

IMHO, for a scrubby load out it’s easy to surpass the 200 worn AC goal if you don’t mind sacking stats. You can still cast around 3000 points of heals plus some roots per mana bar. In groups it’s all about mana regen, not mana pool. I had spare mana for a few HoT’s / Wave of Healing casts when mana was topped and I was bored. Casting FoL, Stun and even Holy Might with C2 doesn’t do much harm to the mana bar.

As for soloing, I did it almost my entire journey to 60. Unrest, Sol A/B, Grobb, The Hole, HHK. Root mana is cheap, Narandi dots make a huge difference, helm healing is free. It’s a slow grind but mana was never the XP bottleneck. Usually it was a painful slow kill speed or zone repops.

If I was a raider or dueler I could see really wanting an extra 1k mana. As Danth said though as a non-raider that mana comes at a huge AC cost (no Vulak loot in EC). After seeing the difference I’m not willing to wear jewelry to get there and since it’s been a contest of HP attrition rather than mana I’ll stick it out as a fake warrior with aggro tricks and clutch heals.
