Used a steel pick for at least a year and a half, then I happened to come across a +3 liuyedao in a strat battle. So smooth, so nice, I fell in love and sold that pick, everyone was using it anyways.
I wanted to fit in more with my clan and switch from my grey sarranid guard and wear something more green, so I started to use a green tunic over mail. Ironically, most people in the clan wear grey body armours now.
Then the armoury came out. Luckily, I found a +3 green tunic over mail, but there was a +3 armet and I never had so many +3s before. I begrudgingly switched my milanese sallet for an armet. I mean, it looks good on the site: visitors can't see pics , please

Boy was I wrong. It looked kind of derpy, but it grew on me. I now use it to give opponents a false sense of security. Mittens holding such a sleek sword is also funny, everything feels soft and fuzzy.
Went from this:

I like good head armour to avoid most 1hits since everything gets damage bonus to the head. Other armours can be medium, doesn't matter much.
