Title: "Sweet Spot" for body armor on a 2Hander
Post by: Breidr on December 02, 2014, 04:16:57 am
Started an alt recently and got my hands on a MW Longsword.  Joined Krems because is best clan.

I'm looking to invest in some European style armors to match, but I'm not sure just how much is too much.  I would prefer something heraldic, but with so many choices, what's a good loom?  Suggestions on gloves, boots, and helm also appreciated.

you like light, medium or heavy armor?

Keep your money after a buy in mind, because upkeep can be a bitch sometimes :)

Go for a body armour between 46 and 49. These armours are simple the best for any melee build.
The armour rating is high enough and it won't really make a huge difference if you go for heavier armours plus the weight is not to bad especially assuming that you have at least 6 or 7 athletics.

Though it really is sad that there is an armour group that is so superior to everything else :(

Literally can't say anything about that when you do not provide your build. Game is pretty balanced, anything not extreme has the potential to work really.

What even makes you say that except a huge personal bias? I find that you can make a case for anything between 45 and 70, completely depending on your playstyle, athlethics, ironflesh and weapon length and speed. I personally hate 45 unless I am playing something that benefits hugely from speed, my personal average is probably about 60 where I perform best. You play a lone wolf style at the edges of the battle, 46 armour sucks for everyone that prefers a more frontline approach.

Vaegir is an ethnic slur.  Rus is the proper term.

Irrelevant.
