i've done testing and there is definitely a--3nki 18:35, 12 February 2012 (CST) diference using hit gear. of course you have lower ac and get hit more, but you definitely hit more often and harder each time. i figured about two full verbs for a difference from full hit (monk oriented, ie more towards hr). for a high level shf for example you are better off running in hit gear i think. but for most mon/shf certainly ac is their preferred set to be in.

-let me clarify - if you are a high level shf with some hp hit gear it might be ok because you can vamp more, and not care about getting hit a little. similar, if you have a big group but are running an area like alpha thule where you can't vamp, you are like a monk and need healers or to be sure not to get hit too much. for a monk i can't see an advantage at hero tier to using hit gear.--3nki 18:41, 12 February 2012 (CST)

Please make sure you have a nice discussion prior to changing someone's edit. - Zaf

Monks will gain some from wearing some hr/dr gear (while sacrificing small amounts of AC). This can amount to about an entire damage verb (e.g., ***MUTILATING*** to ***DISEMBOWELING***). While it doesn't make them a hitter, there is a measurable difference. - Zaf. 2012-02-12 18:58 EST.
