You would. The epic proc reduces the incoming healing you need a lot more than 40 or 50 AC does. The only time I put a shield on is when I need to absorb hits from something that hits VERY hard and hasn't been slowed yet; once slowed I switch back to the epic anyway.

----------------------------------------

I don't have a Greenmist being as I'm not an Iksar. I do have Innoruuk's Curse. Looking at Greenmist on P99 wiki, if I had that I probably wouldn't be overly concerned with getting the regular epic. Looks like a case of "six of one, half dozen of the other." Less health per tick on the Greenmist proc, but you can wear a shield and it lasts longer.

How well does the Greenmist proc land on stuff that's REALLY resistant (like the kind of stuff that takes the shaman 5-6 tries to land slow)? Does it have a resist modifier like the epic proc has? That might influence your decision. I suppose you'd also take about twice as many ripostes with the Greenmist. It still seems like a lot of plat to spend on something that's probably only a modest improvement, not a dramatic one.
