Wink Better To Have Armor 100 Or 90?

Well most of warriors buy armor 100 becouse its the highest armor in game, but is that the best choise? Well if u want to be full warrior with no secondary proffesion skills then it is, but if u want to have a lot of health (no -75 health runes ) and u want to use also your secondary proffesion skills (W/MO,W/E,..) then its better to have armor 90 armor becouse armor 100 requires 13 strenght for wich u need to spend a lot of attributes and u havent got a lot left for other arts (tactics,swords.,hammer.,axe.,...). So the finnal result would be: warriors with only warrior skills without secondary proff. skills use armor 100, warrior that use also secondary proff. skills armor 90 so u dont need to use runes wich steal u a big amount of health.

Hammer war + Sentinles is a must
Sword/axe is all about the glads or legionairs

Why choose the 90 al stuff?

100 AL armor is only for those who are confident they will not need heavy use of anything other than str and their weapon skills to me.

Dragon Armor is the best to me. You get the normal 100 AL against physical attacks and 90 AL against elemental attacks.

It really just depends on your preference, and the mods your enemies are using.

Sentinel is good but it does not allow flexibility, so it would never be my first choice.

But in the end it's not worth talking about, the +7 energy given by Gladiator is too much of a plus to choose other stuff.

Amen, I love my Glads armor. That extra enegy lets me use 2 or 3 monks skills at a time (Im a Wammo, if u havent noticed ). And thats means plenty of health!

For PvP you shouldn't consider any set other than Glads. In PvP you'll be using more energy based skills such as Bull's Strike, Shock, or "To the limit!". If you are going to more armor path, then go with platemail or legionnaire's. You'll either be using frenzy, rush, or sprint most of the time so you'll be getting the benefit of legionnaire's. I rarely find myself putting more than 10 in strength because tactics has better skills under it, i.e. Healing Signet and "Charge!".

If you consider using anything other than gladiator armor for pvp, make sure you get the factions version, because otherwise you'll get bitched at Seriously though, gladiators armor is all you'll need.

canthan armor + totem axe = 25 energy...

14 axe
13 str
3 air

works pretty good for shock...

of course if i use my glads i get 32 energy and buff up my air atts a bit...

course you need to rely on monks for healing but it's better than wasting 10 in tactics just for a sig imo...

Unless you use a lot of strength skills, it's hard to justify pumping strength to 13 just to wear sentinels.

Shalako, two problems: 1) your weapon attribute isn't 16, and 2) you're using a +5e weapon instead of a +15% damage weapon.

Sorry but, with no max Axe Mastery and a mediocre damaging axe how are you going to scare your foe?

The only pvp use I can see for Totem Axe is IW...

Sentinals If you love your Farming or Solo'ing.

Personally that would be my overall choice also, ESPECIALLY after the nerf, it wont give you the absorbtion you lost but its ALOT better than nothing. Especially with Dolyacks Ect... Ect.

But when grouping when you most likley want max damage i would take Plate or Gladz. ALTHOUGH this is also workable with Sentinals. and this way you will make your Monks job easyer also.

This is for the builds that I use myself and i find it very efficient, you yourself may not. depends how you play your Warrior.

(I thought the idea of Sentinals was crazy to begin with, but then i came around and would now have my babys with it happily. lol)

90 AL is your best bet. Not all the time do builds require you to have 13 stregnth. If you dont have 13 stregnth you are down to 80AL, the normal AL. So really its best to go with the 90 AL armor.

Gildor Took said it simply "get both sets" which really says it. Having multiple sets helps u out more although it shrinks your inventory and piggy bank.

Gladiator
Plate/Dragon or Legionairs
Sentinal

sentinels is great, but if your getting just 1 armor set go with the 100/90, at some point you will get pissed by how limiting it is

Gladiator for PvP, GvG.

Sentinel if you don't consider Tactics an option (Weapon/Strength: 16/13), can rely on your monks or split (not a fan of lowering weapon mastery) using 2 major runes, 13/13/9 (Wm, Str, Tac). Could be good in Halls but limits your build since shock is expensive and hammer wars really need the energy.

Platemail and alikes allow more flexibility, I'd say it's a good allround armour choice.

If you're a stance tank, consider the 80 + 20 + 10 (in a stance).
