Help with armor choice

It seems that fort is the best for a WF zon (remember the days when a WF cost 40 SOJs). I have a 15ED Dusk shroud and a 15ED wire fleece. Both are light, the wire fleece has a bit higher defense, and of course, higher str requirement. Please help me decide which one to use. Thanks for your help.
 
Re: Help with armor choice

Str req doesnt matter on these light armors, cause both are under WF's str req and Forti doesnt come with str. Defense doesnt really matter for a bowa.

So, your choice is between:
Wire Fleece for looks

and

Dusk Shroud for resale value.



What do you prefer?
 
Re: Help with armor choice

Two very good choices, you cannot go wrong with either. Put them on, which graphic do you like? That is the one to use for Fortitude.

I wouldn't fuss much over amor values. Your stand in the back, if things go really bad and you get caught off guard by a pack of super fast possessed what evers, a couple of hundered amor one way of another won't matter.

Me I prefer the dusk shroud graphic, it takes me back to the day when Greyform was the armor of choice for the bowazon...sigh.

The dusk shroud is more familiar for trading.
 
Re: Help with armor choice

Thanks guys for the advice. They look similar to me, both kinda minimalistic (forgot the link to the page with different armor types on different characters). I do notice that people seem to want DS more in the trade channels. Maybe I should just go ahead with wire fleece for fort and save the DS for coh when I get the runes.
 
Re: Help with armor choice

I'd save the DS and Fort the WF, yes....most chars who want a Fort will have weapons with higher STR values (Fort is a physical-damage armor, after all). DS is better for CoH or Enigma, for casters who want to save on STR. And merc Forts are of course always going to be in ebugged armor. Really, if its not in an AP, trade-wise, any other light armor is the same.

I have a Fort Sup Wyrmhide this season, looks pretty awesome with the black plate armor :)
 
Re: Help with armor choice

That is good to hear, droid. I'm just curious, is enigma a good armor for a PVP zon? The str bonus is enormous, dr never hurts, and then no need to worry about frw. Have never played one before.

Like I said, I have never played one before. I have been reading up on it, seems that it is prohibitively expensive to make a decent PVP zon. So I think that I will just do pvm for the moment.


 
Re: Help with armor choice

Bow amazons lack resist so I would prefer using coh over fort. It sounds crazy but you will need resist since the build lacks resist.
 
Re: Help with armor choice

LOH and HL provide the important resists, and a couple of resist charms can max them
 
Re: Help with armor choice

It depends where you want to run with your bowie, typically my zons (both J&S and Bow) have ~minus 50 resists and i take her everywhere apart from Gloam areas. If i decide i must run an area with Gloams i just switch to a WWS and some cheap resist armour until gloams are dead, but for 95% of the game resists aren't really needed for a ranged char. My Valk / Merc / Decoy should be taking all the damage unless i mess something up, but even then, if i mess it up LL usually keeps me alive long enough to get safe.
