Hello everybody,

i am sorry in advance if this subject has been discust in the past but i didn't find
a proper answer to that theoretical question about the importance of the AC stats due
to his many melee hit situation encountered by a soloing enchanter.

I had this question in mind since severals months but i didn't saw the point to write a thread just for this item :

VS
https://wiki.project1999.com/Bone-Clasped_Girdle

The + 11 AC is worth +7 sta and +5 hp ?

But, after the chardok revamp and the apparition of this item :
https://wiki.project1999.com/Hammered_Golden_Loop

It might be the dream earing for any soloing enchanter hp wise. and IT'S NOT LORE !

My quesiton is simple, that -15 AC is relevant or not ?
How can we translate that -15 AC in hp ?
Should i buy the belt of Inconsistency to minimize the AC lost.
(Originally, i really wanted to buy the Bone-Clapsed Girdle to have the possibility to not throw 90k away if i have better in the futur, sell it. (the costs values of these item are very close)

If that AC lost is a problem, the alternatives to this earring are :

https://wiki.project1999.com/Inlaid_Jade_Hoop

But we are very far away of the huge hp pool that hammered golden loop is offering.
And what i am looking for [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I am speaking about hp focus priority.
I have 3k mana and that's all i need for the moment.

Thanks in avance for your enlightenment [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Why

I have a 60 enc that is pretty well geared (I have about 5-6 BIS or arguably BIS items). I do not have that earring, in part because I’m unwilling to pay for something thay I will be able to farm myself someday, and in part because in my hierarchy of stats, mana and HP are almost equally important at this point. I raid on my enc, and my desire for even numbers now has me reaching to get to 4K/4K when I’m raid buffed.

In the HP vs AC analysis, I personally come down in favor of HP. Enchanters have crap mitigation, so unless your enchanter is getting many high end NToV drops, AC will have a marginal but not game-changing effect on your gameplay. On the other hand, I’ve had several instances where I stabilize with 5-10-15% HP. So, for me anyway, AC is never a concern.
