hey guys,
I (finally) got the King's Defender last night.
I have been AMAZINGLY unlucky with chess event loot it finally dropped last night... i was so excited.
Just looking for a discussion on what people think is better:
Sun Eater
83.4 DPS
+22 stam
Defense rating +13
Dodge rating +19
vs
King's Defender
+182 armor
87.5 DPS
+28 stam
defense +13
Hit rating +17
Is the plus hit rating worth loosing a bit of Dodge?
It seems like to me that Sun Eater would be better for bosses... but the DPS, a bit more stam and the hit rating (to me) seem to outweigh the S.E.
Tank Points down grades the King's (-430) from my current armor set, and I'm trying to figure out why
Thoughts?

Sun Eater Vs King's DefenderFollow
for MT i'd rather have the armor and hit rating. it boils down to the argument of mitigation vs. avoidance. I prefer mitigation, as it gives you rage from damage 'avoidance', while dodge parry and miss rates give you nothing.
for just doing heroics or trash, i stack avoidance.

hmm, more stam, more armor (way more effective HP), more hit for bossfights..
Obviously the kings defender, as devious said is superior for bosses / progression attempts. However I would rather have the sun eater for trash and farmed content. Although, since I also got my kings defender last night (go us!)
I'm def. not running heroic mech to get the sun eater (~30 times is more than enough).

I too fell the pain of heroic mech runs. Though I do them for the pants.
On topic, kings defender all the way. More stm, more armor, more threat, more better. lol

If you have them both, use them both. On fights where threat is a possible problem, like Nightbane, use the King's Defender to help you out. On fights where the MT getting destroyed is a bigger concern, like Netherspite, use the Sun Eater.
I have both as well and I prefer the Sun Eater only because I have mongoose on it. So...Basically I use the Sun Eater for trash with mongoose...and then I switch to the K.D. for boss fights with the armor and HP. I got lucky with the drops though.
My first Heroic Mech I got the Sun Eater. My second Heroic Mech I got the Vanquisher's Legplates. On my 1st or 2nd chess run the MT of the guild had a different Kara ID and couldn't go, so I MT'd and got the King's Defender. I just don't want to waste the gold to get Mongoose on the K.D. so..blah. I'm not prot anymore so I don't care. If you have K.D. I'd enchant it and use it til you get anything better.

i was merely trying to see what peoples thoughts on it and what they use.
a lot of people say the KD is better but a lot of people use the SE over it though.
and TankPoints gives the SE a higher rating (at least it does on my screen)
I was just looking for others opinions.
The only thing keeping me using the SW at this point is it has mongoose on it and i still gathering mats for the KD.
:)
thanks for the replies
