Calming Crystal Vs. Tenacity Ring

[Kit-san]

Fairly new to the game and had just started a new game. Two dungeons are offering a Calming Crystal or a Tenacity Ring and I'm honestly not sure what to pick.

Calming Crystal I like because of the -15% stress and plus 4 Dodge.
But the Tenacity Ring looks appealing with it's +10% Death Blow Resist, +5 to Dodge with the -1 Crit drawback.

I'm not a very good judge on outcomes and which is better. So mind lending me a suggestion or thought?

Calming Crystal. Increased death blow resist isn't worth it because RNG.

I generally don't like trinkets with death's door bonuses. The thing is, if you are on death's door and actually getting the bonus, things are not going spectacularly, so a minor bonus isn'g going to make a whole lot of difference.
+10% death blow resist seems nice, but I'd rather work on not getting on death's door in the first place, wich is also done by using useful trinkets.

Another story is the Martyr's seal, but that's a gimmick to pull out some nice stuns. It's not something I'd rely my strategy upon.

A bonus to death door resist or virtue chance is like to have no bonus at all, because most of the time it will be inactive, and it will be active, i doubt it will help you that much.
And stress resist, and dodge is always usefull.

Calming crystal has zero drawbacks and is great to pair with some of the trinkets that trade -dodge for another bonus.
Tenacity ring isn't bad, but deathblow resist is only relevant to characters with 0 health. The only time I'd seek out deathblow resist would be going for the achievement for surviving 5 consecutive death's door attacks.

Calming Crystal is quite good.

The only Death Blow Resist trinket I have that I actually use regularly is the Dark Tambourine for the Jester.

I dont like either but the crystal is worth more cash so go for that one.
