Paladins or Knights armour in Droks ? - Guild Wars Forums

Hocky27 · Jan 17, 2006, 11:19 PM // 23:19

Ok well the other night i finially managed to reach Droks and I was wondering which armour is truly better ? Or are the both pretty much the same and its only about the looks ?

I'm not quite sure what "Paladin" armor is, but if you're comparing Knight's armor and Ascalon armor (in Droknar's Forge): they are exactly the same apart from looks.

As to what is the "best", it depends on your playstyle and what you're trying to do. Give us some insight into your build, your expectations, where you normally fight (PvP any?) and so on and we here at the Guru will try our best to help you make an educated decision.

For Ascalon/Knight's armor, the "Reduces damage from attacks" bonus will work for all your pieces of armor, even if you only have one piece of Ascalon/Knight's armor. Most people equip their boots or gloves (since these areas get hit the least) with Ascalon/Knight's, using Platemail or Gladiator's in the other slots.

Yeah sorry I ment Platemail. Ok then guys thanks for the help. I am still leaning more towards Knights just cause I like the look of it.

If you're a little vain (like i am) and want all your armor to match you can use the headgear that gives the damage reduction and then choose to permanantley hide it from your inventory, that way no-one need know.

Well excuse me but I don't be sure about that. I am french. When the language is in fench it's write the reduce damage is aplicated only on the piece of armor. But in english not sp??cifie

It has been tested many times and you only need 1 piece of knights/ascalon for the full bebefit of the damage reduction.

As much as it says per position in french, and indeed in the english online manual; the fact is that the effect is global, and the manual/french description are inaccurate.
