I'm still a little shaky on the Sticky Squigs immunity. If they parry,block or they are already snared it won't hit correct?

[porkstar]

I changed stats around and now running about 2 to 1 BS to WS. 700 and 350. I should be able to increase both stats congruently as I get better gear. I sacrificed around 6% crit around 120 armor and 30 wounds. This seems much more effective and so far I feel a lot more confident about engaging targets. Thanks for the discussion.

If you get caught chances are you are dead...unless you have a great guard swap and heals. It's par for the course though...few extra deaths for more killing!

stinky is right - the goal isn't to gear yourself to be able to take hits.

The goal is to avoid the hits altogether. Your best defense is your positioning. And sometimes, even that won't save you.

Your second best defense, is your offense. Kill it before it kills you!

It's so true about positioning. I've always told myself that positioning is important but I've been mostly unwilling to put in the effort to work on the skill. I'm realizing T3 is too unforgiving to be so lazy.

Building a SH to take hits is like equiping armor talis on a WH/WE.
Why would you even bother?
Its all about positioning and being aware about your surroundings.

I can relate to this!

With WL I just KD, disarm and pray I get help.

All you need is just run.
Run Away I mean.

I swear I've heard this somewhere before
