New Stalwart Defender & Defender of Siberys PrEs

[Khellendros13]

What I want to know is are the stance dodge bonuses going to stack with our equipment that give the same bonus?

Those dodge bonus's are already apart of the stances, and do stack with items/gear.

This is great!

I have a level 13 Dwarven Stalwart Mule and a level 16 Helf Burro of Siberys that are going to have to unpack their bags, get back in the game and cap up.

Now, where to put all the stuff?

for me it gives new life to an old character. I already have other DPS toons, a barb and a rogue so switching my kensai twf into a stalwart gives me a different way to try things.

I couldn't stand the slow movement of the current stalwarts, but with this change sounds like there S&B tanking abilities get a boost as well as there dps when going without S&B. Will have to work towards getting the rest of his Chimera's fang epic stuff too.

I Don't know that any one has pointed out the fact that for the DoS the bonuses are typed as Sacred, meaning they will probably not stack with Divine Might. Seems like something to consider as DM might not even be worth taking at all.

I don't believe there is a conflict as they are bonuses to different aspects

1) DoS is a Sacred Strength Bonus
2) Divine Might is a Sacred Bonus to Damage and not a Strength Bonus

If both were a bonus to the same attribute then yes we may have a stacking issue, but they each boost a different attribute.

I swap between stalwart and kensai depending on my mood. Now I think I will hit stalwart for a much longer time. It is a loss in dps, but I think gaining that much ac and still being semi mobile is very worth it.

D'Oh...good catch...my bad...thinking it'd be pretty borked if it didn't stack...lol

I agree it would have been borked, if it did not stack.

Wouldn't it make sense to give armor a base threat level? Then if you're tanking, you'll always want heavy armor over PJs, and if you go dps you can switch out to the cloth and be just fine.

Just a thought.

Its not function, its "Looking the Part" I like the idea...
