Some of the druid pieces add more than +1 energy. Quite a bit more, in fact. Obviously you would choose Druid's for increased energy. However, the Druid's armor (male) looks like crap, especially with a guild cape, so you might make your decision based on that alone.

Again I ask, where are you finding this Hunter's armor? Is it coming from the collection quests? I have yet to see any crafter able to craft any hunter's armor. I'm level 20 and am past Sanctum Cay. Are you basing your statistics on the information posted on stats posted on a website or something?

The Druid's vest has +6 energy I believe. As soon as I got to Lion's Arch I took it as I have been stuck at 25 energy ever since I got rid of a low damage bow I had that had +5 energy. Just aquiring Meteor Shower, I needed that extra energy as it takes 25 to cast.

On a side note about the leg's energy recovery. Should that +1 recovery add another pip to the regen? I'm like 99% sure the starting armor did not have the +1 energy recovery on it, and every armor set I've gotten since then has had it, but it still only shows 3 pips of energy regen.

+8, actually.

Dumahim Ashenbane · May 13, 2005, 06:50 PM // 18:50

Yeah, I might have been wrong with 6.

Pevil Lihatuh · May 14, 2005, 12:15 AM // 00:15

also one piece of druids (boots maybe) gives +1 to energy regen as well as +1 energy.

Ranger armor seems to have very little variety, almost 90% of all Rangers I see at higher levels all have the Druid's armor. Since everyone could use extra energy, additional elemental specific armor is pretty useless to most people on a whole it seems. It's only too bad that the Druid's armor looks rather stupid, and dying it will dye next to nothing on the armor itself.

Pevil Lihatuh · May 14, 2005, 04:41 PM // 16:41

lol hey i like the look of the druid armour! But yes its true, who needs that extra fire resistance when you can get enough energy to cast one extra skill and take that big fire breathing beast faster than it could do that 'extra' damage anyway?

crow_killer · May 14, 2005, 07:04 PM // 19:04

yeah i figured having extra energy is more of a bonus and if your owning evrything who really cares what u look like?

I think it looks fine, but the dye part is rather annoying. Dyed all my pieces gold and it hardly changed anything but the fringe really, but it will go with my new guild cape soon :P

druid's armor doesn't look stupid. i think it looks cool. i think that wierd scaley looking crap that warriors wear looks stupid.

regardless, at level10, i would hardly bother worrying too much about armor. considering how fast you can progress and level in this game, you'll be at the 15k options in no time.
