Need some advice

So right now I've been using 4 health rings 300 or more hp each and 2 aggy 75 vit 5+ taunt braces. I was thinking of buying the 750k speed ring for 15% defense, then using hrung braces for defense and defense formation over warcry. And then if I do use this set up would you guys think i should use radiant legs and boots with a 80/80/80/80 sunfire helm?

i dont really see what build you are using. radiant stuff and lots of hp? i would say better use full dl and dmg gear.

I'm asking If i should use the 15% defense ring for tanking. Is it worth using over other types of rings. If I do use the ring would getting hrung bracelets be better then aggy brackets? And would the defense from radiant legs and boots be better then dragonlord?

well, idk if the 15% defence will change when u use def form
when i use frenzy, i get my usual boost of 800+ attack, and dont see extra 15% when i use frenzy (attack ofc)
i find the ring less useful for tanking, unless u can get lots of defence without def form (and keep full dl)

Mix set wont be better then full dl if u look rad barely gives more defense then do but u lose a lot of buffs. As for if the defense ring is worth it well thats hard to say i bought it with the intention of doing the same but then realize the ring is only 15% of ur base defense including gear. So ultimately it was (base defense + gear defense) x .15 is the added defense which at the time wasnt much for me.
Cant quite remember but i think full dl gives 800 defense so as a pure tank the ring only gave me 120 extra defense and imo this doesnt help much on dl bosses as it seems they have a ton of attack. Also if i had the ring slot i prefer a royal shield wall as it adds about another 800 damage protection.
The ring is good if u can get some high defense bonus gear like hrung bracelets or mordris helms but to use hrung bracelets over aggy ones it would most likely lower ur hp and cause u to spend more skill points. This most likely will take points out of another skill. Using more skill rings would be the obvious fix but again ur lowering ur total hp so its all about balance. How much up are u willing to lose while gaining defense?

royal shield wall adds like 800 dmg? could u check it for me? i dont have one and also cant afford the testing atm, i wanna compare it to something else if u could check me how much exactly is dmg protection

With max shield wall without the ring it protects about 2.5k damage with the royal i get about 3.3k which is why i use it over the defense ring.

I personally use my shield wall at 30 and then when I need shield bash i use my royal and 6+ ring and i can bash up to 190. This way i can have taunt at 45, def form at 45, stance at 45 and warcry at 24. Ill use a ring of souls. Defense ring and then swap my last 2 rings depending on what I need. I roll on about 10k hp
I don't feel like having shield wall block 3.3k is needed that much. I barly ever have to time my shield walls to stay alive
