Nature Resistance Gear for Paladin Tanks
While doing AQ40, you may benefit from using some Nature Resistance (NR) gear, especially for Viscidus. The pieces we list below are the ones that grant significant Nature Resistance and do not drop from raids.
Because NR gear has low or no other stats in general, using it on Princess Huhuran is generally discouraged for tanks, who will be contending with her strong melee attacks. You can avoid being hit by the poison volleys by attacking Huhuran from maximum melee range while the soakers go deep into her hitbox.
Whenever you loot raid gear with Nature Resistance on it, make sure to use it, as that gear has significant NR and other stats, usually Stamina.
