At the moment, I dont wear armor. Just a flashy cloak an cloths with a med pack on my back. I look and feel like a true Doc. Unfortuately, I look and feel like a pile of bile in a pvp confrontation. Cant wear much armor cause of the stat reduction. My question is is there good Doc armor out there that wont freeze our minds?

I think that helms would be all you should need to worry about... you can buff your other two hams out of the world as a high Doc... mind damage is really all you need to worry about. As for that, I don't know any good helms that don't have a high mind penalty. But then, I don't know many good helms either... or any helms at all... lol, I can't say I've every worn them.

All hems kill your mind, they also save your mind in battles, so it's catch 22, it's the same for all armour pieces, whatever they hit most with encumberance is what they protect against.

I have a set of nice padded armour, the encumberance is fairly low and it is blue and white(need to ask for blue and white, standard is grey and blue i think) and looks very Doctorish (i hate composite for a doctor lol), i wear all parts apart from the helm, this doesn't hurt my mind regen much at all and offers good every day protection.

When going into a big battle, i will put the helm on, over a short period of time, not taking damage to the mind pool is more important than the regen you lose.

So if you want decent protection with out looking like a tin can, try padded

Try a good MK3 Personal Shield generator. Better than nothing, and has no Encumberance.

ide say max all mind stats. because with good enhances you should have around 2000 of each stat. That way in battle your mind isnt trashed when you put armor on. Thats what i do and it seems to work good.

yup. and make a macro for taking your armor off and putting it on so you can do it quick in a fight. i run around in clothes until something aggros me.... F12 and i'm set. i wear a full set of adv composite 60%

can you give me an example of how that macro is laid out?

/equipt ??
not sure. thanks.

I use a MK3 (Personal Shield).. Saved my butt a couple times if I get an aggro on me, besides that I dont use armor cuz of the negative stats and just play support for groups. Most groups Im in the pets are usually tanks anyhow and I sit in the rear healing them, so need for armor. One thing about the personal shield dont let it get down to 0 hp it will break so keep it repaired when u get a chance.

sure shazz, on one of your other hotkey bars (mine is intoolbar 5) put all your armor pieces in the hotkeys F1-F9 lets say in there. then in the last slot (F12) make an equip macro:

/ui action toolbarSlot00;

/ui action toolbarSlot01;

etc.... for all the hotkeys loaded with armor ending in toolbarSlot08 in our case.

then in the shift slots i have my regular clothing setup with their macro at sF12

then the real kicker... back on my primary combat hotkeys (number one) i have the following:

/ui actoin toolbarPane04;

/ui action toolbarSlot11;

/ui action toolbarPane00

that one switches to the other toolbar (number 5 which because macros start with 0 has to be written as 4), puts the armor on via the F12 macro there, and then goes back to my combat toolbar...

i have the same thing for my clothes macro except the toolbarSlot23 is used (sF12 on the 5th toolbar). so with one click, i put on my armor, and with another i take it off.... works wonders. i also put in a cute shout for the armor on

hot key the helmet so you can swap it on and off.. something starts attacking you and your gonna fight for a minute, put it on. You kill your target ad need to heal your buddy, swap it off.
