Is the Prisoners Chain worth it at Sl120 for PvP?

[GenghisKhan]

How significant is the extra dmg if I'm wearing armor?

[Crow]

not extra dmg extr health endurance and vit and increases dmg taken by a bit but i wear it

[Twig]

you take 10% extra, so its rarely worth it

it's not even 10%, percentages are so messed up I don't know how anybody that made this game does basic manths.

but anyway, an attack that dies 450ish to you now will do like 480ish, maybe 470, where as you'll have a lot more hp, and more stamina, and you get some damage reduction back via the vit bonus

Depends on your build and if you really need those extra stats, mind you taking 10% more damage is a lot so it's best on builds that are good at dodging.

If you don't care much about absolute minmaxing and don't really have a lot of rings you can't live without, Prisoner's Chain + Ring of Steel Protection would make you take less damage and make it easier to reach desired VGR-END-VIT at SL120 for non-single focus optimised builds. Also, don't forget that while you lose 10% (not much anyway) absorbtion, you gain damage reduction from the Chain stat bonuses and you can end up taking less damage with just it on.

Ring of Steel protection is garbage in PvP. I don't have the source right now, but testing was done and the conclusion is that +0/+1/+2 versions give 0%/2%/4% damage reduction respectively instead of what they would give in PvE.

Not sure about Prisoners Chain though, many effects that are good in PvE like Oath of Sunlight or Deep Protection do almost nothing in PvP, maybe that is true for 10% extra damage received aswell. But I wouldn't count on it.

If you tested it and the damage received went up from 450 to 480, then there is your answer. If you raise your Vigor from 35 to 40 that is a 98 Hp increase. (Using Ring of Favor +1) In this case you would die from 4 hits either way, but gotta keep in mind that 10% increase is also for critical attacks which is very severe damage increase.

Equipping the prisoners chain is a no-brainer, it is effectively giving you 15 levels for free in exchange for you taking 10% more damage.... which is barely noticable.
