Firstly how big is the protection? If it's small enough to be killed by Dispel Magic you probably can get away without it. Secondly, who does the most damage on your team? If it's the tank then leave VA on your mage, and if it's the mage switch it to the tank. Alternatively get hold of a BoTh or Morg (best of luck!) and get rid of it altogether along with the protection making both your damage dealers that more powerful.

What you really want to be doing is ensuring that both your damage dealers are as strong as you can make them. And dilution of their xp is a sure way to weaken them. I've said it before, on multi minion teams mages should be mages and tanks should be tanks. Let enchanters carry the enchantments. So, if you can't get one of the VA weapons then consider putting the VA on your AS enchanter. VA only really needs to be at the at a level about equal to your most powerful melee blow. See how hard your tank is hitting for and put it at that level. Then you only need to up it's level to match the rise of your damage. That way it only needs to be upped every so often rather than all the time.

Hope this helps you to think about a solution! ;)

"So, if you can't get one of the VA weapons then consider putting the VA on your AS enchanter."

VA and AS are both ED's. So are you saying Johnnywas that he should replace AS with VA? That would not be a good idea.

sorry forgot to mention i do have RoS- AS strat.

most of the time my protection doesn't fizzled because of RoS and its about at 5000. effect of (7)

someone tell me which one is overall better on my tank DBs or EBs

i have a VB, i would think that with a BoTH or a MH and VA and AS. too much health.

sssimmo, it was late, cb was lagging. He's right Flamey, ignore that moment!
