Best Warrior Armor? - Guild Wars Forums

Which armor do you think is the best? Also, how much damage is actually reduced in armor that says 'reduces damage from attacks'? Is 80 +20 physical better than 80 +10 physical +reduces damage?

Thanks.

1) Any AL 85 armor, Plate, Wyrven or Dragon.

2) -2 for Knight's pieces anyway.....non-stackable.

3) Not sure...do a search for keyword armor and find the thread that
compares Knights and Plate. Lots of good calculations there.

ok, from what I read, I gathered this information:

"Reduced damage" indeed does -2 damage, however you only need ONE piece of the armor set, and it gives -2 damage for ALL pieces of your armor. Furthermore, the damage reducing rune DOES NOT stack with this damage, if you have a superior rune, it will replace the -2 from the armor with the -3 of the rune for all pieces.

Can any knowledgable people out there confirm this?

If Ensign says so, and he does, then its good enough for me.
