50 vit or 20 all resist?

[Shadoninja]

Which is better? Im lvl 50

EDIT: So I ended up getting some cheap rings to test this and here is what I found:

Sacrificing 84 Vit for 30 All Res:

Lowered my max health by 7%
(New HP - 31344, Old HP - 33696)

Reduces damage from all sources by 5.73%
(Old reduction - 24.03%, New reduction - 28.38%)

So just looking at those numbers, it seems like vit is still more useful somehow

I actually have a similar question quite often. I have an amulet on my level 60 wizard that gives me 90 intelligence and 187 vitality. I have seen amulets that give like 100 intelligence 80 vitality but +25 all resists. So I am not sure if that 25 all resists is more important than the 107 vitality I lose.

It depends on a lot of your other stats but I'd imagine 20 all resists will almost always be better than 50 vit

Did some numbers if you guys wanna check them out

Reduces damage from all sources by 15.3%
(Old reduction - 24.03%, New reduction - 28.38%)

I don't understand the math
that looks like 4.35, not 15.3

[Shadoninja]

I did 24.03/28.38 to find the exact % OF the % gained if that makes sense lol

It's neither.

Before you were taking 75.97% of a monster's damage (i.e., reducing all damage by 24.03%), after you take 71.62% of a monster's damage, which is a spread of 4.35%, but is really a 5.73% reduction in actual damage taken relative to your beginning point (75.97x = 4.35 = 5.725944%)

Remember, going from, in the extreme case, 98% damage reduction to 99% damage reduction looks like only 1%, but it means you're taking 50% less damage than you were before (taking 2% before and 1% after).

Thank you that was what I just found out
