Life vs Armour and Resists!

It doesn't make you right Stryuk, even if it's true.
BTW I have 50000 GCPs and all uniques in the game on my main account. (I won't tell you the name because then you would be able to check if it's true or not.)

I have 9000000 mirrors.

Also, since its on p9 now, www.youtube.com/watch?v=agydJe76IZw
This is showing an hp build with no kaoms, no charges, and not even 7k hp.

EDIT: Also life vs armor will never be a fair argument because they are meant to go hand in hand.

Life is a pool, not a defensive option. The defensive option is regeneration

Life + Armor vs Life + Regen is what really should be looked at.

No, those comments were not based on endgame gameplay but early-midgame and read first post why i said that, its because i saw alot of guys in streams recalling to get more life instead of recalling to get more armour. Armour is better then life untill a certain point, and that point is where you wont be able to survive without extra life which is probably at 60+ maps.

You simply cant go run around with 1.2k hp and do level 68 maps lol... I got to 73 without dieing by doing 60-62 maps very easly with 1.8k hp or so.

Defence = Regeneration ( life leech - life regeneration ) + Damage Reduction ( armour / elemental resists ) Can we agree on this?

Why the fairy tale about the other acc then? And why even mention it anyway? Will the grass turn blue when I gather 50001 GCPs?

On topic - where is the point where life becomes better than armour? I would like the game to work the way you described when trying to prove how is armour good. Builds with no life and extreme armour would work... But for now I am afraid they don't.

IQ no higher than a fish? So because 20 people disagree with you it means that none of them understand basic numeracy? :(

On topic then: You seem to think that life flasks are the main source of healing. To me, Life Leech is the main source of healing and leech is capped by your max life. At 1800 life you can only leech 360 life per second, which is poor.

Next up: I do not care whether my DR is capped against things that do not hit hard. If something hits for less than 750 base physical damage then it is not going to hurt me anyway, as my charges and leech will make that damage disappear. And I cannot maintain enough armour to make it useful against things that hit harder.

I agree on the 2nd and 3rd part :P
In games like these, when people start beliving in the dps numbers and the reduction numbers it shows, people often fail alot. Life is by far the best stat, it increases how fast you can leech. Armour has very bad scaling towards big hits.

A fun note. I played with a guy who had tooltip 10k aoe dps, I had under 1k. I did more dmg then he did.

Just to iterate. Don't trust the in game stats, true for D2, true for PoE.

You can trust some of the in-game stats.

For example, I trust that the armour and evasion values (not percentages) shown on my character sheet are accurate. :)
