I can understand if you haven't read the rest of this thread, as it was shitted up rather quickly. For a recap, look at my sig. You can plan around the bash to keep torpor going without risk of bash interrupt. 8 hp per tick on a 30 min fight and ac to mitigate even just 1-2% of damage is absolutely huge in comparison.
