Was replacing Enthusiastic ES w/ Journeying Es on my helm worth it?

Prior to the replacement, I had 93 Balance, 13.7K DEF, 130 Crit, 94 Crit Res. After the replacement, I have 88 Balance, 14.2K DEF, 131 crit, 97 crit Res. Was this exchange worth the -2 balance?

    It's good if you can find the +2 bal somewhere else, shouldn't be too difficult. Although, a Fast ES would have been better if you weren't already maxed out on Fast in my opinion. But I'm just a speed addict.

    Not worth the time and effort. If the defense gain put you over 15k, it might make a more significant difference but you are essentially trading 2 balance for no offensive gains whatsoever.

    Crit isn't an offensive stat? o.O

    Welp.

    There are 2 possible ways to remedy this; get +2 balance infuse or wait for the new Lv. 85 belt which has +2 balance and can use Subdued ES.

    You are crit capped in both scenarios, but since you mentioned new belt, you might as well wait for new r6 enchants for armors.

    Yea that +1 crit isn't gonna do anything cept in Neamhain and the new area just released in Kr. Even then, it's still less significant than 2 balance. Honestly you are better off specing your build to make use of that additional balance since Enthu is best in slot for light/cloth hat/pants.

    If you are planning to wait on the level 95 level cap along with the new rings/belt, the total balance gain from all that is 4 plus an additional 6 assuming you will infuse it all with balance, that's an additional fast (4spd if you are using sig) without even infusing them. .
