Chinese Armor???

[roguebrandier]

Ive checked out a lot of different guides before I began making my character and I would alwasy hear talk of Garment or Protector, but never Armor. So is it useless, or is it actually good for some builds, if so which ones?

[DeathBeforeDishonor]

It's the more common gear for int builds. Deffintly not useless.
Sorta like garment but instead of been very good for mag def
it specialises in phys deffence. I use it on my s/s int.

Most people say armor is useless because at higher levels people get +5 gear so they dont need armor cuz at high levels ice gives lots of phys defense for ints but since they dropped fire they need mag. defense so they make a prot or garm set

armor is ruubish. u walkslo. nd yea thats wt matters

[DeathBeforeDishonor]

I like armor for grinding PvP, not to great.

Besides protector and garment decreases mana consumption of skills (%10 for protector and % 20 for garment ). So its helpful for str as well as int characters considering mana requirements of higher lvl skills.

Lets say you grind on phy based mobs as a glaiver.

Armor->Less hp pots, more mp pots.
Garment->Less mp pots, more hp pots.

I don't get it

on higher lvls most monsters do mag damage, so the best would be prot/garment, ur also slower in armor, and for one reason i pwn ppl with armor on so easy, and im pure str, prot is way harder imo
