SOME INPUT PLEASE --- Brass Dome vs. Belly vs. Rare chest

Hi guys,

Im looking for some input. I'm playing a DW Sunder Berserker and am doubting between the right chestpiece -- Brass dome vs. Good rare chest vs. Belly of the beast. This is all for Tier 15+ maps.

Right now I'm using this:

Without the chest I have 5698 life. With this chest I have 6132 life.

A 40% Belly of the Beast should give 800 life extra (as a 5% life jewel gives me 100) compared to 434 with the rare chest. This would bring my total health to ~6700 life. I would ofc lose some armor.


I am leaning towards a Brass Dome for more survivability (I imagine the 'no extra damage' helps a lot?!). However, my increased % armor is very low, and obviously I would miss out on the max life, remaining at 5698 life. My leech, as a berserker, is crazy :)


Max resists can be obtained with any of the chestpieces and is not really an issue.


What do you guys think? Please advise! :)

Would be 6L Brass Dome or Belly of the Beast be worth it? Or should I get a better high life/armor Astral plate?

To me it seems that it would be either Brass Dome or a Rare Astral Plate.



PS. here is the rest Im using:

Please feel free to speak your mind, any tips or feedback is appreciated :)

If you want life tgen you can go with pantheon power for quasi-crit immunity. Try tgat out and see how it works.

Do you have problems surviving specific hits?

Thanks alot for your reply!!

Looks like I had that pantheon power already :)


I can survive most things but sometimes I get 2-shot (e.g. by rare packs with added dmg or powerful crits, some bosses).

I think its just as much spell damage as melee damage that gets me though...

Is there any pick of the 3 more obvious than the others, when it comes to endgame content (guardians / shaper) ?


And, am I missing the point with Belly of the Beast or it's not really THAT amazing? I feel like I have a lot of +max life and +% max life on tree and gear... yet the difference with the 155 Life chest feels hardly noticeable
