It’s not a bad option. It’s a meta belt for a lot of Bleeding builds. Problem is that if you are a pierce build you are wasting a slot that gives +1 to mastery skills and flat and %damage for a belt that gives you nothing but DR. But if you are phys build it’s not bad, but again, conflicting with Gladiator’s Distinction which is amazing together with Scales devotion (and just a very strong belt for 2handed builds).
