the cost for repair is toooooo high !

A lot of new people think plate=good but as a 2h 1h and cav player I find that all you need is heraldic mail or even something a little lighter. Lighter armor doesn't mean bad and can be good

Here is a guide for you so you can use a warhorse in full plate if you like.

All you need to do is to have 2 sets of armor depending on the multiplier. If you don't use expensive stuff at 1x multiplier you can use heroic stuff on higher ones.

Sell a loompoint and you will never have to worry about upkeep again

loompoint for my gears , gold means nothing compared to the loompoint .

I wear about 17k worth of equips as a 2h and I find anything heavier is too slow to be worth it. I think a couple other guys already said it, but heavier doesn't mean better. I tend to take more hits in plate due to less maneuverability, thus evening out the "ability to take hits":"hits taken ratio".
