Cutthroat Cuirass or Plate Armor

[killette2]

Cuirass unless your being shot at (if you get hit by an rbow you deserve to die).

Funniest thing I read all day! But I guess someone could hit you if they just keep spamming shots and just get lucky.

Shots with less than 10% aim meter *always* miss.

For the newbs:

If you're getting shot at while in combat, don't stand still for the guy aiming. The archer is more dangerous than the guy waving a sword in your face. The guy with the sword at least has to break your defense first before attempting a mortal wound. (There's a lot more to it than this. This is just the super-condensed version.)

Something someone hasn't mentioned: forced summoned. What's all that armor going to do for you? Keep you alive long enough to MAYBE get logged in. In that case, you'd probably want to have the most HP buffer you can get.

I thought if you are moving it negates your armor bar? if it is 1vs2 agents a Rbow and a SS then you are toast if you can't run fast enough.

force summon they don't even need to kill you, just KO you then they can remove your armor and your as good as gone.

If your fighting someone while being shot at you should probalby just throw on the steel plate and eat 0s from the rbow

It's six of one, half dozen of the other: do you stand and get shot at knowing that a couple of shots are going to blow up your armor but you'll not get hit by the guy punching at you or do you move around some hoping to keep the guy from building up any aim bar knowing that you'll probably take a few hits from the guy punching at you?

No, but if you're wearing steel plate, that's just that much more damage they have to deal to knock you out. Of course, they'll be using punches against you (or maybe B12s to get a huge hit in), anyway, just to get that extra armor penetration to knock you out faster. And once you're out, it's nothing to just kill you, so no need to remove the armor other than to maybe keep from damaging it further.

Get Plate and other Steel gears/ Dhelm and ignore the archer and beat up the melee guy first in a Ranger+Melee vs You situation.

ya I was thinking this and whenever you can move after the melee guy attacks to lower the aim bar.

Unfortunately, things are never this simple.

I would much sooner take a hit from a ranger bow then a sword considering most people would insta KO with a sword =s
