I dont wear armor against creatures, only when PvPing or NPC's. I prefer from far some nice BE clothes with Bleed Resistance, Warcry/intimidate bonus

I generally used a suit of 72% kinetic resist Ubese as a lower level fencer, but after getting 8 or so boxes started to do more damage to myself with specials with armor on, than mobs were doing with no armor equipped

But then again I now have a full suit of composite armor with less than 450 mind encumbrance, 80% kinetic resist, 74% electricity resist, and 65% everything else... I'm never taking it off again... ever

First off, welcome to the funnest combat profession I’ve ever tried.


I wear armor all the time. Ubese for PVE and fancy yellow and blue padded (looks cool) the rest of the time. I also almost never solo anymore. I tank. I rarely use my specials unless I need to get a monsters attention or pull it off a friend. It’s a deferent style and I like it.


Best thing to do is get to know how armor works. Here’s a good post (long) in the armorsmith forum.

you should get yourself the highest kenetic rest. ubese armor you can have it ham sliced and wear it out . also set upa macro that if you can heal your self so that you take off at least your helm . ( i tried a macro that took off all my armor before i attacked and then replaced it after each attack but it kept messing up so settled on just the helm).

Dont use armor myslef. I did when I was a pistoleer / CH, but since I started fencer I dont use it. Fencers job is not to get hit! Keep that CoB going!

Hehe, I am wearing platoons (knee lenghth shorts), sandles, and an opend vest. My char looks like he just came from the beach. Pisses people off when they have all that expensive armor on and I beat them in duals with me looking like that. Gives them a false sense of security to. Good stuff!

I started out with Ubese 70%kinetic resistance. It works really well but if you can find any armor with kinetic resistance is good. I now use Composite that has 80-85% kinetic resistances. It really helps out when the mobs around me get big. I usually end up taking like 15-30 damage from each hit from a high level NPC.

well i use full composite armor suit, i also have mind, focus and willpower maxed out, and im also master doctor so i can buff myself 24/7.


To counter ham stuff i just take breath of heaven and rysh-something.


When i take this i get 0 ham cost, yep 0.


So i can hit and hit in etirnity without loosing any ham (from the cost that is).


When i try to i.e take of my helmet, and i get a mind blow i can loose up to 1000 damage, depending on the mob, it's so much better then to just take like 300
