Question about Armors on Cam

[Epo]

I started bying things for my bard temp (lvl 51 mp studded). Found an Armorcrafter and he told me he has only Midgard-Studded in his vault. The Damage-Table says that Midgard-Studded is Thrust-Resistent but bad against Blades. Almost all the tanks are using blades i think. So wouldnt it be better to buy Hib-Studded (this would be more expensive, because he has to craft it), or to buy Albion-Studded, or doesnt it matter on camlann?

 

[Natswoo]

It does matter, and it's worth chosing the armour you want as other armour crafters might have it in their vaults or be able to craft it for the same amout. Personally i think hib reinforced looks best, but up to you

 

[Coccas]

slash resistant (hib) > slash vulnerable (mid/alb?)
crush shouldne be as important

 

[old.windforce]

you need a hib helm, you can't use mid helm

 

[[NO]Subedai]

i think i was mid cloth, or well maybe hib, not sure

 

[FallycSymbol]

Cloth is neutral to all and mid looks best

 

[Amildin]

Mid Studded looks best by far

 

[FallycSymbol]

/disagree

 

[Epo]

ok, so you /agree that it does matter
and i like hib studded most tbh
yes i take a hib helmet for sure, but not a helmet i take a circle-thing^^
and yes: slash > all imho

 

[FallycSymbol]

Winged Helm charge > Crafted circlet.

QQ

i use alb studdet on my bard as its good against crush dmg.
nearly every tank is using crush weapons nowaday, mercs, bm, most heros and like every mid tank except svg

crush is the most popular dmgtype among meleechars, although slash/pierce would be by far better as many people are taking a crush-resistent armor.
taking hib rf is the worst decision. anyway, take rf and every tank will enjoy it .)

 

[FallycSymbol]

Hib studded is nice for archer classes since you don't often get hit by tanks/light tanks unless they add, and even then you usually die.

 

[Shintari]

we are talking about his bard, aren´t we ? :>

 

[Zelh]

we do.

 

[FallycSymbol]

I was making a serious attempt at getting this thread off topic. Damn you for standing in my way!

 

[Epo]

Now, I'm a bit confused :\
Now I know how difficult it is for an archer to use the right arrows...^^
I think i take the Crush-Resistant armor then That'd be mid right?
Would be cheaper for me then too

 

[FallycSymbol]

Look at the armor tables and decide which type of damage you are hit by the most. Then get armor crafted accordingly.

 

[Natswoo]

Get some of each...
Also notice how i said that Hib rf looks best, not is best

 

[Jaison X]

i have on my bard on the last template (the god one) alb reinforced. resistant to crush.

i had hib one before, but i think this one is heavy better every dmg tank in fg vs fg is crush unless is a svg. I THINK

thx 4 the link Bahumat
btw i saw u the first time ig on the wedding of nodoubt and namarie ^^
yes, alb studded might be probably the best in 8v8 fights, which i will do alot in the next time...
alb is thrust vulnerable, but if an assa attacks me i have 7 ppl that protect and heal me ... so no need for mid studded, which is thrust resistant.

True whom needs thrust resist no savages or reavers around in the elite gimp groups...

 

[FallycSymbol]

Where can I buy a reaver thrust weapon?

 

[Ballad_]

I was going to post a reasonable reply (honestly), but after seeing that there are no unaswered questions left I can do nothing but +1.
