Gear Set Breakdown

Agi 366 Stam 753 AP 1,059 Armor 5,433 Crit 30 Dodge 47 Expertise 6 Hit 39

The current talent state leaves 2.6% crit reduction for gear: 154 defense rating, 103 resilience rating, or a mix. This set has 104 defense rating and 20 resilience; verify the combined result on the character sheet.

Bears cannot block or parry; use the computed crit-immunity and armor cards, then value stamina, agility, dodge, and cooldown coverage.

Stat totals are unbuffed — gear, gems, and enchants only. No consumables, talents, racials, or group buffs.
