This is plain WRONG. A creature hitting you for max damage over and over again (think flurry drakes in NTOV) is not going to be stopped by your measly mana pool or a few extra AC. If you stacked max HP, you could survive it longer and get healed. Do YOU even play high levels? If you tried to raid on this character, you would be expected to tank those drakes or you would be LAUGHED AT by the raid for bringing such a useless character. You don't gear for trivial content... it's TRIVIAL by definition.
HP is KING.
I'd offer to help you because you seriously need help with gearing and tanking, but it's obvious you wouldn't listen.
Just quit please trying to spread your misinformation.

Ya know you sound like someone that got carried to ToV raiding and never actually played the game outside ToV or has a monk or any other classes besides chasing items. HP isn't king LOL. Holy shit. Even on the RNF you post shit you can't even comprehend simple FD mechanics when klaz whats his face trained riot wit multiple angles gifs/ss which even resulted in a raid suspension. Brah you know what, you suck so much at this game you need the most HP items to even get around norrath LMAO.

Maximizing HP is not the ideal strategy in all situations. If you are not dying at all while soloing, more HP will not help you. Decreasing down time (via mana regen, hp regen, clickies, etc), and increasing kill speed (via weapons, STR, DEX, clickies, etc) will help you.

Pretty much this. AC>HP/Mp regen> max HP/mp... You can always equip high hp/mp items at the start of a fight, unequip it once you dip below a certain point for more AC/dex/etc

Shamwowi was talking about his mainly solo-built shaman, for which specific purpose the vindicator ear is indeed a reasonable choice. 10 AC is better in that slot than 30 HP when a character that isn't getting complete heals and seldom reaches full health once engaged in combat. He can kill anything Torpor can out-heal, and more raw HP isn't helping Torpor out-heal anything. Since this is a shadow knight thread that's a tangent discussion, though.

hits the nail on the head here. once you dip below that threshold "30hp" you can unequip that shit item and go for AC to improve the rest of the fight. UNLESS you are strict talking about fighting only AoW which Samoht(He prolly only logs in to fight this mob) has a hard on for only ONE mob with 15+ clerics ch'ing you. then OK Hp >all. The other 99% of EQ outside of kael max hp isn't the ideal stat to optimize leveling... especially for an SK which OP mentions mostly soloing alot.
