Please tell me which stones are the most relevant now? As I understand it, we have no equivalent replacement.
 
For int classes +2int/+2vers continue to be exceptional.

For leather agility classes +2agi/+2armor is good.

Everyone else doesn’t have great options. DPS will often just want 3 mainstat, unless they scale particularly well with haste or crit.
 
In the end the 2 armor or Stam ain’t gonna save you from 3x raptor strikes lol.

stack the offensive stats.

I'm not really sure what you are trying to argue here. If I'm reading this right, it's telling me that 2 stam is better than 2 armor until you have a 4k-7.5k HP pool to take advantage of that armor. And you are never going to have that much HP if you are using 2 armor gems.

And this is all assuming that you never take any magical damage, which is of course preposterous.

Like, I could devise a contrived hypothetical situation where armor would be better if I really squinted hard enough. But with any sense of practicality, it really can't see it.
 
The advice was only for leather agility users, since at ~50 armor you just need to take ~4000 physical damage before armor surpasses and then continues to outperform Stam.

That’s also linear in effectiveness versus damage, so after ~2000 physical damage you essentially already have half the benefit that Stamina would give you.

And in general, this is for a leather user that is trying to be tanky and utility focused. All it takes is a single heal or potion before you see the benefit of armor.

But yeah, cloth users have Int/Vers which is better, and Mail+Plate users already have high armor.

But for BG-utility focused rogues and demon hunters, it’s good.

TLDR: lol. wtf is math, lol?

TLDR: are you like trying to be dumb on purpose at this point or?
