Direwolf Coat - Useless?

The Vampire coat has a melee damage bonus, I forget what percentage it is.

There are a few players on Vector who make great use of the Direwolf coat still.  Once you wear it with buffs, your health can shoot up to 3,850.  The downside is obviously the lack of resistance, especially when there's no one around to give you those buffs.  Even with the loss of damage resistance, it's still more difficult to take someone with that much HP down in a hurry.  If you have a 'Vitality-based' health regen build then it's worth considering as an alternative to the Area K.  It all depends on the situation. 

To answer the OP's question, you'd have to test the affects of both 350 HP and an additional 32/36 resistance.  Personally I'd go with the resistance because more HP leaves you open to taking on more damage, thus nullifying the coat to some extent. 

A Vitality-based health regen build would benefit from the Area K a lot more as it has a Health Regen influence on it as opposed to a health-amount increase. Also, regen is safer from a Buffer Canceling ability like Cancel Upgrade. Remember, all that extra health is gone if your buff is removed. Regen is only affected by... a few less-used abilities in the hacker tree. >.>
