Considering dropping bushido for resist, any down side?

[Pirate Roberts]

The only thing I use bushido for against spell casting mobs, like slasher, is for confidence on my wraith thrower. Any downside to stoning it off for resist?

Well I would say evade and momentum strike but if your not using them then its probably not going to be a huge issue unless it effects your 300 points for mana reduction.

Thanks Mirt, forgot about that. Does evade work with ranged weapons on my thrower?

 

[Mirt]

It should its supposed to prevent anything for a short time. I love using it with feint weapons to really stay out of harms way but you do need to try and figure out when to time its use.

Don't forget honor/perfection.

Don't forget honor/perfection.

Nice one Syrus. The damage bonus although that matters far less if your chaining AI since that damage doesn't get the boost.

I think honor/perfection alone outweighs the benefits of resist. I also often run in protection which negates the benefit of resisting spells anyway.

 

[Mirt]

I would say it depends. Honor/Perfection does outweight it if its not a temp designed to constantly chain AI. But a whammy is so it makes sense to consider dropping it if your not using the other skills with it.
