Default Which armour you prefer for monk?

Hello to all ^^

Well, I want to know which kind of armour you like best, for monk, of course.

For stats and for look.


Btw, its just me or the canthan character (for monk) faces and hairs are better than prophecies ones?


Thanks in advanced!

I bought 15k Kurzick armour and dyed it black and have now decided I hate it so have gone back to tattooed torso for the +8 energy and Shing Jea feet, arms and legs with the Kurzick head tattoo. All dyed black still looks the best in my eyes.
As for stats I usually play as boon prot so go for the +10 armour whilst enchanted (Acolytes?) due to Divine Boon.

When playing PvE I usually go full healer so just put on full tattooes except for the legs which I equip with the Shing Jea trousers as I hate that little towel he has flapping around his privates.

As for the Canthan chars looking better (faces/hair) I'd have to agree where as the Prophecies Necros look much better.

Well personaly I like Luxon 15k female armor (not the hand pieces though since they look like she's made a kung-fu chop through a pair of cheeses)

Anyways forget the energy boosting armor since a proper monk will not need extra energy, I'd say the health boosting one or even the one with defence bonus while enchanted.

[Sarcasm]well if your trully l33t and harccore like I am[/Sarcasm] you'd not wear armour at all... underwear ftw!

In all seriousness though i like Canthan top+shingjea trousers.. tatoo's on forearms and tyrian sandles (so soul is brown not dyed)
All in Blue dye (mind you i'm going to try b+S+S dye)

If I'm one man monking I'll take ascetics mods.
Its all well and good saying a good monk doesn't need the energy... he doesn't need extra armour/health more though as you shouldn't have any agro on you

I use ethe +armor while enchanted for my chest and Legs when I play Boon or Bonder, I use the +armor vs. Physical otherwise. Arms and Legs I use the +health armor (shepards I think?).

As far as looks go, I like the 1.5 Kurzick/15 luxon armor alot for a female monk. I like the 1.5 Canthan for the Male.

For a boon/prot I favour the +10 armour while enchanted, which I use in conjunction with a +5 energy sword with defence mod and a +5 armour +45hp while enchanted focus.

For other monk roles I like the +10 armour vs physical because of all the warriors/thumpers running about in PvP, I also have a 15k set of wanderers...and a set of ascetics for 55ing...I'm SO glad they put material storage in.

Edit: Oh, and the hair's better, but I prefer my prophecies monk still.

I got my 55 armour from Denravi, the Star pattern ascetics are so much prettier than the dragon ones :P
Also, all my armour is dyed purple, always has been always will be.
