I prefer full shrouded. Most of your combos are going to be energy monsters anyway.

IF you keep using daggers (bows anyone? ), go with the dagger hat.

Think what armour will fits you best for your playstyle.

AoD builds will benefit from shrouded, health and armour are for those that prefer to stick around... etc.

Or, if you're an A/W Nightstalker +15 armor when attacking, and get out of Dodge quick when you aren't.

But it's true, select armor based on how you play.

It like, totally like, depends on like, your build you know?

Dagger mask, shrouded for just about everything.

hawkeyed · Oct 01, 2006, 08:29 PM // 20:29

Ok, so it is shrouded for damage dealing
What is best for staying a live, nightstalker or health?
And what about reduced cripple, bleeding etc. ? Not worth anything?

Thx again

Shrouded is basically the best assassin armor there is. Just wear a dagger mask and make sure to use teleports. As someone once posted: "If you've stuck around long enough for your armor to matter, you've been there too long."

Shrouded is the armor you'll be using 99% of the time. You need a good max energy capacity to fire off your combos, and the base 25 isn't enough.

For mask, I've been using a Critical Strikes mask mostly, but a Dagger Mastery one works as well, depending on how you set your runes. You basically want to get 13 Critical Strikes and 12 Dagger Mastery on nearly every Assassin, which means either 11+2 Crit / 11+1 Dagger, or 11+2 Crit/10+2 Dagger (or the other variant using a Major rune). The former gives you 9 ranks of Shadow Arts or 8 in a secondary - the latter, 11 ranks or 10 in a secondary. The rune in my mask has changed a bit, but the base stats (13 crit, 12 dagger) hasn't moved in months.

Peace,
