Seeing as healer's are generally ineffective in combat anyhow, dropping your damage a notch is well worth the extra vitality, saves, etc. Instead, Gergran was wearing dwarven spiked and dex gear -- great for a dwarf warrior. Three: Why did Gergran gate to me?

There are a few classes you simply cannot kill without it, such as invokers and healers. Secondly, if you're playing a hero-range character, and want a tip with equipment.. sometimes that few points of damage is worth sacrificing for sv. v. spell, or sv. v. paralysis. **
