If you want max armor and health, take the shield from stocks and the legs from bfd.

You'd lose out on a lot of str which gives parry, so even from a purely defensive point that's a bad choice.

You lose 13 str which comes out to less then 2% parry, unless warriors have a drastically different str to parry mechanic then pallies.

Edit: armor also isn't rng and applies to attacks made from behind you and when you are cc'd.

True, but 2% avoidance on top of what you already have still makes a difference, you also forgot about the ring from hogger (1.26 % dodge which does work on attacks from behind although not when ccd)which you'd get instead.



And even for a prot warrior damage matters...

According to chardev, it comes down to 2% reduction from armor and 2 stam vs 2% avoidance. 2% armor is better then 2% avoidance because it is constant, while avoidance can be stunned, or just not even proc at all.

So get legs from bfd and shield from stock?

Do you want to max stam, armor, mitigation, or damage? Decide, and make your choices based on that. You also need to decide if you want to be capped for your stun interupt.
