Plate Vs Dragon - Guild Wars Forums

The armorer say,

Plate - 85 +10(physical)
Dragon - 85 +10(physical)

Is this an error or are both armors the same now? I have been looking at old posts discussing armor, they say that the stats of the armor is differant, but they are dated back in April durring Beta. Now if they are the same now, why would anyone bother getting Plate armor (Unless they like the look, I don't care for look of Female plate at all) when they can get Dragon armor a lot easier, and cheaper. Iron and Scales, or Iron and D-steel? I went throught the effort of getting the Steel because I was told that Plate is the better armor for defense. But now seeing the same stats at the armorer, I'd rather sell the steel to a Warrior who wants plate, and grab the Dragon set.

Anyone know what the differance is beyond looks? Are the stats written wrong?

Are you referring to the Wyrven set in Droknors for 1.5k for each piece?

If you are, then there is no noticeable difference, besides aesthetics, that I know of.

I went Wyrven instead of Plate for the very reasons you mentioned. It looks cooler on a female character and is easier and cheaper to acquire with regards to the crafting materials required.

I hope I was right.

Actually, I'm refering the the expensive stuff. The 15k Set, which is something you don't want to waste money on making a mistake.
