Hi, I just recently started my assassin, and am now about to buy my 1.5k armor. For me it's basically down to either the armor that gives the most energy, or the armor that gives a bonus to armor while fighting, but I'm not sure which would be best. What would more experienced assassins suggest? I like the energy armor personally, because it would allow me to use my skills more, but maybe the extra armor would be best?

Energy is much more useful. You shouldn't be taking much damage, like a warrior would

Most people seem to say energy but it really depends on your build. If you run long chains and high cost spells then of course energy is the way to go. However if you run a less energy intensive build (Ive yet to run out of energy through my own skills yet) then the armour will deffinately help.

I agree on getting more energy because attack chain isn't the only skill that eat energy, defensive skill should take to account too.

If you want to use 10 energy+ skills you I strongly recommend that you get energy. 15+ armor is ok, but I didn't really notice a huge difference (and the fact that it only works while attacking diminishes its usefulness because most of the time you need the armor while running away ^^)

Shrouded Armor, definitely

High AL is for people who intend to stay in the fight for eh, too long...

Like mentioned before, you're running away so use your energy to shadow out

By that he means warp in, combo, warp out, heal, wait for recharge, repeat.
