Hello all,

So a basic question - for a PVE run (any of Gunbad/C&T/BS) - do you still need your defensive RR points (IE Futile strikes) or can you swap them out for more crit.......(for a Slayer or any dps)

No, I wouldn't take anything defensive except perhaps Wounds. Tanks are there to take the brunt of damage, Wounds(and healers) should take care of any possible cleaves.

For Solo PvE though, Parry is a nice choice. For WH and Slayer at any rate.

In PVP.....question is about PVE, i wasn't sure if i needed it for PVE (IE quick respec for dungeon, then back again for PVP)

Yeah, don't need it in PvE imo. You are not so self reliant there.
