Hello,
So I've tried a thing recently. I am full wrathful ( kindof ) + I have glorenzelg. I swapped all my strength gems ( even the JC special +34 str gems in my sword ) to resilience gems just out of curiosity. With the fully new enchants + gems + flask + buffs I have 1500+ resilience and with my survivability based talents + some other little things like the Hand of Salvation glyph + Seal of Light + Judgement of Light + Indestructible Potion etc.... I'm almost immortal even against OP classes in 2v1s. I guess you already know what the problem is. I can't down basically any skilled and properly geared player. Sometimes I can but usually against UH DKs and other Ret Palas the fight only ends when I'm or my opponent is out of mana and has Divine Plea on CD. ( I know you never want to use this in pvp )
I also heard that the resil bonus for reduced crit ends at 1414 and anything above that is useless.
So, fellow retries who engage in PvP. Over the many battles / years, what is best combination that grants a decent amount of survivability but also a fair amount of damage and bursting power? I was rolling with the most basic and most commonly recommended retri pvp build, I had around 1,2k resil and my talents were the usual 0/20/51. I mean it was okay, I had lots of fun with it and I might return to that one if my current build turns out to be useless. I'm also pretty close to getting SM so that will bring a whole different vibe to the story.
