Every little bit counts, in each slot. For example... there's a lot of different items with stat increases you could have in your neck slot instead of the Glowing Bone Collar, but it's 5 AC vs 0 on most other neck items. So you choose the glowing bone collar. STR is not a priority for a Warrior, it'll add to your DPS at higher levels, you'll hit for more damage but your role is to soak up damage. So wouldn't you be more concerned about AC to soak up the damage and DEX to ensure you proc enough to get and keep aggro?

The same debate could be had about the granite bracer. Is it better to have those HPs you get from the stamina on the bracer - or have higher AC and a chance to lose less of those HPs when you get hit?

SVs are nice. But are you going to pull a lot? Or are you going to be the main tank and stay in the camp. I prefer the latter, with a monk or a ranger (who's probably wearing the mithril) on pulls, or a paly/SK if we're fighting undead... Because as you know we Warriors have no method of CC during pulls. If I'm not out running around with the chance of being rooted, I'd rather have more AC as the main tank. Caster mobs drop in seconds when they get back to camp. Raids are a different story, but that's why people have alternate gear, am I right?
