Exa hp v. UBDef


#1

So some time back I maxed def(yes I know I need 1 more def pot to max technically but I have one in my vualt and always forgot to drink…) on my pally and I just want to know what ring to put on him, should I stick to the exahp I already have or a ubdef… I cant really decide if I want the extra 9 def or the 140 hp so I want tome tips from you guys…

Depends on your pet. If you were to choose strictly between those two rings, I think UBDef might be the better choice. Even with 30 base def, pally still feels squishy, and could always use a little more defense. Your seal already provides you with +112 max hp (assuming gcookie, and assuming my memory on how much hp it gives is correct), so adding +140 hp on top of that isn’t… too effective.

If I were you, I’d try to find an Expo ring. If you can’t decide between 9 def or 140 hp, why not get a little bit of both? Expo provides 60 hp, 4 def, 60 mp, and 4 vit. The hp is nice, and the def is great. Not to mention, the mp means you have more mana to use your seal which can act as a pseudo tome.

Also, a note: hunting for an Expo is also a good way to max the paladin’s high 75 wis stat.

The best ring you can use on paladin is bracer, but it’s a very rare item that’s generally not readily accessible to your everyday realmer.

No matter what stats I maxed or what pet I have I always choose HP rings

Back in the day people had this convo, while the majority always espoused that HP rings were the better choice I found personally that defense rings were the better, as def complimented vit better: take less damage = regen to full faster.

When Pyra came out it was the perfect blend of the two, and now expo and Bracer are an even better blend on some classes.
