What race is the best for a defensive War?

[Nate]

The below question was asked by weaw in another thread, I've moved it to its own thread so it can more easily be answered and found by others.


Dunder? As an option. No? May be Spite or Elaar "defensive" War would do best while he has Down And Dangerous?
That's just an example for flexibility which i described above.

Trug and Spite, easily.

Seems most think Trug & Spite make the best Defensive Wars.
For a pure War tree gladiator going defensive; what factors into your choice between Trug & Spite?

[Kuljem]

Factors are;
Do I want more health? Do I want bleeding resist?
Do I want more defense? More effects with lower damage?

For me at least. :D

I quite doing spite war`s a long time ago.
to me the question is Hp or endurance.

[Apoca1ypse]

Trug is the way to go IMO. With the new gear having stats like "+Block Chance" there is less need for the extra defense from a spite.

Trugs bring massive HP that give you a better chance against gladiators that are good at breaking through defense.

Has anybody worked out what the Trug HP bonus actually is? Is it +125 HP? Or is it +10%? Something else? Last time I compared HP on my lvl 55 Trug vs. my lvl 55 dunder, I think the difference was only ~125 HP when they had very similar stats. That didn't seem quite right to me...I guess I should have checked when I last switched races a long time ago...and maybe I forgot to factor in the difference in their strength too.

I know this is 2 months later, but as far as I know, str, sta and size factor into hp. Other then race.
I think i saw somewhere about how much exactly is one str-hp(sa &size), try looking around here sonewhere.
Something like 3 or 4 hp per str, 7-8 per sta and 10 per size.
But i am just talking out of my ass now, sooooo better check. xD
