Tabula Rasa -OR- 5L Armour (Domination)

Would you rather use/have:

1. Tabula Rasa


2. 5L Armour with great stats (ex. High Armour, 100Life, Tri-Res)

I'm debating on whether I should buy a Tabula Rasa or Save up for a 6L Armour. My current 5L Armour is alright.

Depends on the build/league.

For most builds a 5 link with great stats is better. If in domination you could always have fun with tabula rasa though.

I'd take 5L armour. By the way a good 6L armour will be 40 times expensive than tabula.

5 link with stats for sure man

6 link is simply not needed. U can always ajust a build that wants a 6 link to function fine with a 5 link ( or a 4 link for that matter )

Tabula rash is for testing or leveling i find , having no stats on chest slot is a big deal ( khoam or BoR have off sets to combat the lack of stats from chest when using them )

Too many unknown variables to accurately answer your question.

It's totally dependent on the rest of your gear.

If you have both it's fairly easy to experiment with both setups while watching your character tab.

5l with great stats, sure I'll take it. 5l with average or above-average stats? (say, ~1200 armor, 1 resist, 50ish life)? I'd probably take the Rasa.

Pretty much this, there are way too many variables that affect this.

-If I were playing a hardcore league I'd much rather have the 5L for all its defensive stats.
-If I were playing CI I'd prefer the 5L because it's difficult to give up ES on your chest.
-If I were playing a build that scales extremely well with links, such as Cast on Crit, I would prefer Tabula Rasa.

And as mentioned, it also depends strongly on the rest of your gear.

Tabula is like a Prototype for your setup,if you want to experiment with different setups it's very easy with TR(obviously).

Personally, I consider Tabula Rasa one of the best items in the game and I think it should be one of the first expensive items any player buys. It's especially helpful on those very weak early game builds. Especially in Domination since even if you die due to lack of defenses, it's w/e.

Plus if you make a new character, is can start pretty OP with Tabula.
