i guess it is all about the trade offs. The huntsman ring may add 700 defence and has room to improve however that is all it will ever be. Defence. Imo a more rounded ring is better suited for tanking. The lich ring adds 150 vit (1k health) as well as every evasion for the loss of a few hundred defence. Imo 1k health, stronger skills and evasions is a pretty good trade off for 300 defence.4.3-4.5 depending on the druid is pretty standard for me, when I said the number range didn’t change with/without iron set I meant the damage numbers you actually see. But when the set is broken my hp bar was definitely dipping more then normal, typically I only fluctuate abt 10% of my hp with the occasional dip to 50%. It seemed with broken set and 3 lich rings that my hp was dipping a bit further than it does normally. As for huntsman ring I disagree, mine currently adds 714 (yes ik it doesn’t stack when lixed) but has a lot of room to go up, as I use edl helm mord hally and fairly low tier prot braces of dex vit def. With gele axe, better prot braces, and some new bt charm/neck (I honestly don’t know neck stats but someone said strong so I assume it has high def or dex) you could pretty easily pull 1k def from one ring slot. Percentage based items like it and reaper will only ever get better as new gear with higher numbers gets added into game. A void scale night helm alone would add 200 def from the ring. Whereas the strongest defence based ring in game adds 600 total, 30% from elix pushing it up to 780. I will happily always use my huntsman lolWait till your server is killing BT. The new ammies and charms are unquestionably the best tank gear in the game.
The 200 armour from iron root aura is tiny in the scale of the game. Fully buffed and lixed tanks have what? 3k or 4K armour? 200 is nothing. I’d much much rather another lich ring with 150 vit 450 defence and all those evasions. Even if you notice that you are taking more damage, you are not taking into account the defence and evasions increase meaning both autos and skills hit you less.
Also huntsman rings are very over rated imo
