Default Stuck with 5pc set?

So I have a pile of fabled crap in my bag from various teirs/random pieces. everything from x2 instance to guk3 boots.

The problem i'm running into here is replacing my 5 piece set. If i drop even one piece its a -1400 mitigation decrease. All of these random pieces put together wouldn't even come close the mit i can get with 5pc. It's just too much of a decrease.

So am I pretty much stuck with t2 until i get 5 pieces of volcanic gear? Kind of sucks having all this great gear just sitting in my inventory. Per piece it all has higher mit than my t2 pieces, but the set just destroys it.

Also, deepwater barrier or living wall? I've picked up both for the hell of it, but can't decide on which is better.

Yeah I stuck with the 5set until I got enough VP+ gear to phase it out.

TSO is kinda lacking in plate gear, the only place where I saw some good stuff was AoB. I'm not sure what plate stuff you're looking at that is superior to the set gear. The only stuff I can think of using full time over set stuff are the gloves/boots from AoB (and the gloves are kinda iffy) as well as the shoulders from ravenscale. And you can wear those and still have a 5set.

Deepwater barrier is superior imho but it doesn't matter much between the two.

Well I'm running the helm from ghoul lord right now as my non set piece, since the normal helm has no defense. I have volcanic boot/gloves mold in the bank, plated vamps of the undying from varsoon, boots from guk3, and a couple of other random pieces superior to the t2 gear.

Fabled TSO pieces have more mitigation than the set pieces on their own, but combined it makes all other fabled plate stuff seem useless, aside from one swappable piece. The set bonus is just too much to lose. Should I worry about this 1400 mitigation?

You just need to man up and swap it out.. I was stuck with it for a while, but progress is progress, you will find upgrades and you will replace i.

I can honestly say, the only piece of shard gear I've put on, has been the Holy Warrior Spaulders for DPS'ing... its not that great outside of crit mit. -1400 mit? how much mit do you have? 5k solo is the number to shoot for, in raids etc you'll be at about 6.5-7k pending on group setups, anything over 6k is pretty pointless. Look at the % absorption you get, rather than the mitigation numbers.

Also, deepwater barrier >>>> living wall

It's about 5% decrease in mitigation.

Mitigation isn't everything. Suck it up
