In most situations I would go for damage reduction as well, but what about automatic healing instead in Emily's case?

She gets bonuses for taking damage, and having damage reduction would get in the way of that. Not to mention the fact that damage reduction might not work on damage over time abilities like poison.

Automatic healing would act much the same as damage reduction, except it would work on some things that damage reduction would not. On the flip side she still takes all the damage, so if she takes an attack that does more damage than her health she'll still die, but if she had damage reduction she might have survived.

What do you think?

If automatic healing works against poison, we wouldn't need much of it to cancel out poison and similar effects completely and even turn it into healing. So it stands to reason that we wouldn't be getting quite as much of it as we get damage reduction. I also fear that it might only trigger once against multi hit-attacks. If my assessment there is correct, I would say her ability to take hits is more important than the speed at which she ativates affliction skills, since she's no use when dead and needs to be in harms way to activate the skills at all.

I think we need to not worry about that, since the deadline is coming in about a day-ish or two. By then it's either "You win!" Or "Game over", and so everyone's gear means nothing.

Just my half cents.

The only deadline I'm aware of is the kiss, and waking Lucia up is not winning completely.
