Default Fow armor...ascalon or platemail?

As the title suggests, Im thinking about these 2. I already have 15k glads, so I mightkeep it or i might salvage the runes. What do you guys think I should do?

1 piece ascalon rest plate?

To my understanding, it is really worth only one piece of Acalon as it has dmg reduction for the whole of the body. While other armour sets has better values in them for the rest.

So I would support the idea of 1 x ascalon, and to my personal perferance, Glads pieces.

Thats a good look for apperance

But my problem with that is, since helm is usually a +1 in axe, sword, etc, and its stacks, so I usually have a few different helms that gives +4 in one single skill. This way I can swap around to suit different situations.

Glad gives some extra ENG, this to me means a little but more options in battle, its not only a pvp thing I think.

I think Death meant 15K Ascalon Helm, since all the FoW ones look the same, and you might as well get Ascalon on the boots so that your helm is free.

im one of the people that think FoW armor, especially for Warriors, is all about bragging rights, the armor itself (except the helmet) doesnt look particularly pleasing to the eye, id stick with what you have.

Thats why I want it tho, bragging rights. Especially considering Im doing it legit, not ebay.

I think I will probably get +1 tactics helm (ascalon), or +1 strength helm (wyvern?)

and then get platemail armor and ascalon gloves if I dont get helm.

Because I already have glads for farming, and I wanna try racthoh's UW/FOW solo builds, so I think I might need the defense.

Droknars 1.5k helmet with +1 axe/hammer/sword (just hide it)
Glads body
Ascalon feet

no doubt thats the best

ps. fissure armor is damn ugly for warriors.

Glads with a ascalon helm. Although I hate normal ascalon helm, the fow version looks much better with glads armour.

You guys don't like the look of FoW warrior armor? I think it looks awesome.

But yes, I'd recommend ascalon boots so that you can use a weapon-specific helm when needed, then gladiator's for the rest. I like to have a +1+3 helm from each weapon type I use and an ascalon helm for running and tanking also.
