Ive been deliberating about which 15k pants i should buy for my monk. Its beetween saintly and judges. Basically, judges has +10 vs physical, and saintly has +5 elemental but 1 more energy. Which is the better choice?

Well if your the type that like to mix it up a bit, maybe touch spells, etc as well the +10 Physical might be a better choice. For a far off range caster type monk you might make better use of the ele resisitance, IMO.

I use Saintly on my monk. The energy loss from judges wasn't worth it to me. Plus I thought the Saintly looked better.

Yes, I would go for saintly looks better and there are more uses for it.

The most threatening damage type is physical and Judges offers more protection against physical than Saintly offeres against ele. The energy loss is nothing major, or worth worrying about, It's just one less than saintly, and 1 max energy shouldn't be a deciding factor no matter what mode you play.

KK ty guys. I bought the 15k judges pants. I still have my 1.5k sacred pants, so if im in missions with heavy elemental dmg, i can always switch up.

Yeah, the energy loss isn't too big a deal, since the way you manage your energy is much more important than how much max energy you have.

I use Judge's body and legs during pvp, with tatoo arms and random feet (usually tatoos). The only time I'd think of switching out is if the other team had absolutely no phsyical attackers, which doesn't happen often.

I would definitely go with Judge's... Melee/Range (non-spell) is much more dangerous to me in pve than spells (which aren't "spammed" like melee attacks).

I agree completely with Katari, that 1 extra point of energy isn't going to matter if you actually need it... If the 1 last point of energy really does make a difference, the team is going down.

I would just get Censor's if it is for a male char and get a nice set of Wanderer's as it is the best looking on a male.

Actually, if your doing gvg you'll probably want the judges chest piece, the rest tats.

I have Judges and saintly and I change in game depending on what I'm facing. IWAY at tombs? I'll go judges chest piece with the rest tats. Against and kind of ele spike i'll throw on my saintly.
