    14 Str will give you, what ? 2 dps and 0.75 block value vs. better block rating AND superior block value on the other item. Adding a +8 defense gem when you probably already have reached the 490 cap (my case) and maybe +8 parry or dodge is just a tiny plus, which doesn't reflect the difference between blue and purple. But maybe I'm wrong. You tell me, since you seem to be the big expert.

    Beside, that's not the point. It's just not right that this belt is even comparible with the blue one, given the level of difficulty to get it compard with the other.


    This post is faded because it has a negative score.

      This belt is clearly better than the Sha'tari Vindicator's Waistguard.  It has more AC and one more defense.

      Sure it doesn't have as much block rating or any block value, but you can easily add either two +8 dodge gems (for a little under 1% dodge) or two +12 stamina gems to make it a 57 stamina belt.  The stamina is probably the better option, and I think it is clearly a better belt with stamina gems socketed on it.
