Girdle of Living Thorns or Belt of Dwarf Slaying?

[Dundrige]

If you were a Paladin or Shadowknight, which would you get?

On one hand, the Dwarf Slaying Belt gives you 180 mana & Aura of Battle, while the Tunare belt gives you superior resists, Melee Stats, and a clicky that is situationally handy

Dwarf belt by a mile.

Dwarf Belt has better all res, as you get MR/CR/FR instead of just FR from Girdle. DR/PR usually isn't prioritized, so those resists on girdle aren't too exciting for most people.

Aura of Battle is always nice too. ATK will slightly boost your DPS, which is always welcome on a Knight. The +2 HP Regen is nice as well when you aren't wearing Fungi.

As you said, the extra mana is nice as well.

INT/WIS, AoB.

Two things you want on a hybrid. Mana, ATK and HP regen are evergreen for you.

As for the other stats:

15 PR / 15 DR are worth basically nothing.

15 STA is nice, but you'll STA cap elsewhere.

DEX / AGI aren't great, but you're capping with Avatar anyway.

The clickie is nice for a reset, but the actual effect is 4 damage shield. Nifty, but not making a difference and only relevant for face tanking.

Remember you rolled a hybrid and not a pure melee. You're garbage without mana.

Belt of Dwarf Slaying in most cases. If you are a Troll SK, Girdle might be better since they have a racial penalty to fire resist. You need a big fire resist piece somewhere. With that being said, there are other BiS or near BiS items with high fire resist, like cloak of the firestorm or earring of the living flame. So it would depend on the other gear you have or are planning for.

Personally for my troll SK i'd go Belt of Dwarf Slaying and cloak of the firestorm. Back slot is a bit weird for resists, so having your big fire resist piece there makes sense.

Why not both? https://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:Naethyn

Because not everyone is so fortunate!

I would want the Girdle first for a Paladin (+4 damage shield, +25 AC is stronger when facetanking than +10 ATK, +2 health regen) and the Belt first for a Shadow Knight.

its like 2 months of raiding to get both in fuse, you could literally just potg and regrowth people for 2 months. fortune has nothing to do with it.

That useless strawman again. RIP indeed.
