Stonebinders vs Revenant

[devon]

I know everyone say that Stonebinders are the best armguards to use because of the + to skills, Revenant items have that as well, but can anyone explain why Revenant itemscare so much harder to find than Stonebinders. I've found way more Stonebinder Cuffs than any Revenant items and was just curious as to why Revenant stuff is so hard to find.

Well the thing about SBC's is that they give +%elemental resistance to.... in quite a big amount. In normal it's 15%, in epic it's 20%, and in legendary it's 25%.
The legendary variety of Revenant's only gives +2 skills, while the SBC's give +3. The other do have more armour, but I would take the elemental resists over that any day of the week.

I think Revenant are harder to find due to the fact their is no easy farming place for them. Drop chances might also be lower, I'm not to sure.

Revenants drop from ONLY Gilded dead in egypt. Gilded Dead look like any other skeleton, and skeletons have HUGE loot tables (huge as in, they can drop ANYTHING)

Also, they pretty much only spawn in Valley of Kings.

Ah that explains it then. I liked the Revenants mainly because of the stun resistance they had on them, but if the Gilded have such a huge loot table then it's not worth the effort to farm them, seemed like alot of hard work farming them for so little return.

Farming for Revenant gear can still be worth it, since you can get +2 to all skills on different gear slots than armbands. A Veteran's Revenant torso armor would be a killer item for example.

Here's a nice guide about farming them.
