Who uses it these days.....is the -15% unholy painful??
Seems 5 points are better spent there for armour gains (+750 vs + 659 if using Spirit Armour)
Question really is.....is the extra 1500 (or 2250 feated) worth it with the -15% unholy debuff?

Situational. All depends if opponents have unholy damage or not.
If you stack enough protection gear it's really not noticeable, if I am able to have positive holy protection (albeit it 2-3%) with -50% with less protection on my demo, I'm sure you can still achieve well over 20% unholy protection with a -15% modifier on a pom, taking into account wisdom provides higher protection for holy/unholy damage as well as stacking protection/survivability gear does not hamper damage as much as other classes or even at all on a PoM.
Yeah can get over 21% with it on and with PvP gear worn.....so guess it can stay on hehe
worth it imo, usually there are like 3+ melee users and max 2 unholy users in a mini, and I have like 30% unholy resist and 37% armor, if melee users is more than unholy users, it is still beneficial, some unholy users do physical dmg too.
With Unholy Wards AA + protection gear and Blessed Armor feated it gives excellent protection against melee mobs without being too painful.
I just turn it on and off all the time really - versus necros it's a no brainer for example. I often turn it off vs sins (when I expect a bomb) and dts too but keep in mind that they also do a bunch of physical damage. Against soldiers, barbs, rangers, it is great. I might change my mind when I get better gear but so far it is something I have to pay attention to.
