29 armour babe, s'how we do it in the big T O (that's Toronto, Canada)

I realized, after giving up my Warhammer, that the most fun way to play cRPG is to fight.  Not to get kills, or to support, but to fight people.  I also realized that it's a nice challenge to run in medium armour because it forces me to be far more aware of the battle in general.  Right now, when I join a fight, I feel like I'm actually fighting in a battle: I need to watch out for my team, since I know I can't carry them with my light build, I need to kill enemy, since I'm a good team player insofar as I try to do everything I can without help, and I'm careful, because I try to be an important part of something bigger than me.  Lighter armour has made cRPG gameplay much more dynamic than I believed it could be, and I now see why it's a common progression for so many players.

Also, light armour is sexy

Running 21/21 right now as a 1hander. Kinda fun.
Mostly pilgrim disguise.

Got to love how in 1v1 a 1h weapon is actually more effective if you don't spec into shield at all or use one.

Just a funny little bit of info.

Actually, you're better off without a shield in almost ALL situations. Well, as long as you can block.

Only reason I cary a shield is for ranged (enemy hits), group combat (enemy and allied hits) and ganking (allied hits). But many a time, it's better to drop the shield than keep carrying it.
