And if you geared right 9% flat pen from warlord.

Honestly you would not go for pen as a main stat when gearing for grace. You want block chance because that's far more difficult to come by.

STR~ 700.
WOU ~ 9.5k. <- Need it to delay death.
Armour 3.3k at least.
WS / TOU as close to 400 as possible.

Bloody hell! You probably need to combine 2 or even 3 set bonuses to achieve such numbers.

Guys I cannot thank you enough for your insights. Very helpful, all you. Big, big thanks.

Yeah but you can only really get around 30% block and at that point you might as well go ahead and soft cap your main stat, you can easily get 30 block, 1k str something like 200 melee power. It buffs damage and heals by a large margin. Heals are your best defense, and your best defense is an offense in this case.

Not necessarily. Generally You can run warlord + offsov. But it's the main issue of WP is being stat starved for melee. If you had to choose stats to dump, InI, WS and TOU are the first to go. Quite frankly because you'll never get them high enough to where they make a difference. If you need WS. Aim for 400 and then just go for armour pen modifiers.

theres literally no reason to "aim for 400 weaponskill"

Agreed, aim for 1k str. The damage will make your heals better and also add a lot of counter pressure. In RvR u really just have to avoid Zerg fights.

its not about aiming for any random value, you have to create the set that gives the most stats overall.

My dude, 1k str is not a random value, it’s the str cap and it’s the bare minimum. All you wannabes offering pretty bad advice, talk to iyvans ingame my friend. The #1 dps/ heal dok/WP, uses 1k str and full melee power. (Sentinel ring blood lord weapon genesis etc)
