Hey Zach, I'm wondering:

With the huge inflation of health pools, wouldn't this potentially make high-end PvE gear more valuable to be able to get those health pools down quicker? As it is right now, a dps or healer in PvE gear can get pretty much one-shot by a well-geared opponent (I was killed by a warrior in WG the other day in under 2.5 seconds with me in full icc25 gear), but in cataclysm, people shouldn't be getting globaled, even when focus-fired upon. With the huge health pools, I'm just imagining for battlegrounds at least, max damage being the way to go for most classes, or it will be a real pain to actually get an HK.

And now with resil not reducing crit, that just stokes that fire a bit more. What say you?

Stupid comment system.

I replied to you, but I didn't. Meaning my reply is a couple of posts down. Sorry.

What will be interesting with the new Resilience will be its effect on health pools. By reducing incoming damage it will essentially increase the 'Effective Health' of a player (much like armor does for tanks) who might already have a massive (80-100k) health pool.
