This was probably answered before many times, but search doesnt work, so plz help.

In HA, you can never know if the enemy will use armor ignoring or physical damage to you.
Therefore, using specialized armor vs. 1 type of damage seems pointless.

Using a combo of 2 armors seems pointless too, because you take most hits to chest and feet, so whatever you're wearing there, would decide your fate.

So in the end it seems like going with energy armor is my best bet, no?
If my vulnerability does not decrease no matter what I wear, I might as well have extra energy...

The only other option that seems logical is to use armor vs. physical damage, because chances are, you'll be getting damaged by warriors a lot more often then by anyone else. (mesmers are an exception, but no armor will protect you against mana burn)

If you guys think that I'm wrong please tell me why and explain.
What armor do YOU use in HA?
I know some of you will say that the armor you use depends on the build(i know that), but that's a wrong answer, because I doubt you have your inventory full of armors. And even if you do, you gotta have the one you use most often.

Physical or "Overall" Reisistance Armor works the greatest when i play monk. Physical is a must, since physical damage has the single highest DPS in the game. It also allows less time for healing. Elemental is not as important IMO as physical since spells take time to cast, and at the same time, you can heal yourself from thier last attack. In the case of a spike, 10 Additional Armor probably isnt going to help you since the damage is going to be so far over your max health as is. Plus, theres a 254% chance that your going to face IWAY anyways, and smashing IWAY is always fun.

i personally use acolytes armor (+10 AL while enchanted). enchantments like vig spirit/spirit bond/ps work well in both temporarily raising your defense and limiting the damage you take as well

Judge's rest the health armor,depening on if your a PvE or Pvp Id have a full set of health ready and a full set of acolytes ready.

I am not very knowlegable about Factions armor but Proph I am I would suggest Censor and tat on feet and arms or go with Censors top and Wanderers skirt or leggings and then the rest tats.I saw one of the Monks in the Last Pride wear that combo with Censors and Wanderers skirt.
