Do you really expect every guild to re-post instead of just copying from here?

Something resembling "Stuff JMD Says", right? Oh look at that, the link is in your signature.

Catsaddler - Scoundrel - Dirty Fighting - 3/7/36 - 3322.4 Torparse: http://www.torparse.com/a/481823 AMR Profile: http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/a75f5f21-4382-4817-814b-1f55fa95f180 I am sharing the issue with the parse and trimming it; I'd like to trim it to about 320 seconds (where it says 3322.4) but I can't. Otherwise I guess the parse lands at 3315.62.

My guild (like so many others) is trying to progress through NiM content, and they told me a while back that it would be better to get a def use relic over using my ephemeral mending (arguing that it's better for me to be able to control an extra cooldown rather than relying on a proc.) However, I believe I saw that (since 2.3) it might be worth it to stack the two proc relics (shield/absorb and defense.) I came into an unassembled relic last night, so I have to choose whether to: Upgrade my Arkanian Fortunate Redoubt to an Underworld, buy/trade for an Underworld of Shield Amplification Upgrade my Arkanian Fortunate Redoubt to an Underworld, start using my Underworld Ephemeral mending again Upgrade my Dread Guard Imperiling Serenity to an Underworld, keep my Arkanian as is (or vice versa) Also, input as to whether my guildies are full of it or on the right track is welcome
