Classic- T1 vs T2

From what I’m seeing besides the stam increase, and the strength loss (1-2 str per item) is T2 really better than T1? Looks like T2 focuses on block value where T1 has a lot of dodge and some block.

So Wrath set has more stam, armor and shield block value
Might has more str, and dodge.
I haven’t compared the resist schools yet, but am I really gaining much going from T1 to 2? Any number crunching nerds in here able to give this casual noob the rundown?

A few strength is an easy trade for big chunks of stamina, armor and block. Keep in mind that shield slam damage is modified by block value, so block increases threat too.

Dodge, I don’t think anyone is stacking dodge. If you don’t get hit, you don’t get rage. There might be some bosses where dodge is handy (patchwerk?) but usually I prefer to be hit steadily for predictable damage taken and rage generation.
