Stats on Guard of Valor and Eirene's Hauberk

I think they actually work out as the same utility either way, around 30, with a couple of +4 bonuses.
However, stats arent that important on a hauberk, you mainly want it for the reactive procs.
I originally preferred Eirenes because of the very-cool look and level 10 "damage conversion" proc - but after farming all three scrolls (around 4 hours) and then farming three half-keys (another couple of days, you need 5 different coloured idols from high priests and high priestesses, which are soloable, but can be red and purple with friends, and call for help) all while scouting for the reclusive Linos I realised its just not worth it.
Not only is it near impossible to level, (i read someone had farmed 800 diamond seals getting it to level 2), but the mob who drops it spawns for 20 minutes in one of three miles-apart aggro-infested areas, around once every 4-6 hours. Not only does he take a full group to kill once you've found him, but if he does spawn in one of these places, theres a good chance that Minkhat (another purple), will kill him. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF - HE ONLY EVER DROPS THE HAUBERK 30% OF THE TIME.
I know for a fact someone is offering 20p for the unactivated artifact, and good luck to you if you can find him or even kill him. This is officially the most stupid mythic encounter.
Guard of Valor... well it doesnt look as good, but is a hell of a lot easier to get, i managed to get all three scrolls in a group of three in around 3 hours of killing the correct cyclopses, (check toascrolls.com to find out which ones) and the hauberk encounter is significantly more accessible and 100% drop rate. It levels in "frontier dungeons" rather than "female enemies" and hence will require significantly less xp to get the level 10 dmg-over-time proc, which "The reactive proc on the Guard of Valor has been modified to proc two different DOT spells which will stack. (from Dec 19 hot fix)" Also you can level it at the same time as your croc tear ring, and/or shades of mist.
NB, this proc is heat, and so will stack with other body/matter poisons you may apply to your armour/weapon.
I will of course scout for linos from time to time, and be incredibly jealous if i ever see someone wearing Eirenes Hauberk, but knowing i'll be able to own them in a duel with my GoV is reassuring
