Is Vit useful for high lvl pvp?

Like the title states, do you think vit is useful in high lvl pvp (125-175)? Do people do so much damage that, since you die with 1 chain of attacks anyway, perhaps vit is not useful?

Oh Vitality is super useful, it will allow you some room for error. I have 27 vitality on one of my characters and I am paying for it. I do damage like no other, but I can't take many hits.

With network lag you may get hit even if the enemy seems to be far away. So sometimes it's difficult not to get hit...and in that case, you die. :)

Vitality is extremely useful. High level PVP isn't a who-hits-first game, with a small number of exceptions. A lot of health will keep you alive, even if it's only a sliver left. But that's still enough to quickly heal yourself back up.

And if you happen to be using the Second Chance spell, since that basically gives you +50% max health, it makes Vitality that much more useful.

For example, my character at level 139 has around 45 or so vit, which means around 1500 health. Second Chance is adding about 750 more. Even the heaviest weapons will take several swings to take that down.

The only who-hits-first situations are this:

1) A mage with a very strong firestorm spell or homing missile spell can cause thousands of damage. Watch out for people wearing certain mage gear - you can identify them and roll away, let them spend their mana, then get close.

2) People who keep their own healthbar under 30%. They're using certain items that cause their damage output to skyrocket as long as their health is low. If someone first comes at you with their healthbar like this, be careful. That is a who-hits-first game.

Give you an example, I'm running with 65 vit and can die with 3 slice at just 85level.

Vit is very important, sometimes I've won fights with just 50hp left.

Some of my opponents, die with 1 backstab or 2 slice. Fight's over.

Low HP also put lots of players into defensive play when you know your opponent only need 2 hit to finish you. That's a big mistake IMO.
