How you choose armor?

[amitst]

the logical response is MAX vs. for most people

this is because the dodge + or parry + affects how well you do so as if it adds 1 to your level, since in groups you often fight mobs 30-50 levels higher than the toughest group member (i think)

on the other hand, if you are at like level 250....then parry +9 from that set of heavy would give you a signiificant advantage, but max vs. might stil be the winner

Parry +24 on a set of armor is incredible. And with a shield and weapon you can have parry over 300. That means that you will parry a level 250 like crazy.

This will give 53.7%

I meant more accessible to players armor (like Exc. at merchs), but if conversation started about the supremes...
Max Protection possible from PR Sup mats is 53.9% [Screenshot]
And Overall Max is 55%, but only from mob mats, and other stats are not good. [Screenshot]

This is because its very hard if not impossible to get better than +1 on parry from PR mats only

Max Parry from Supreme PR mats is "+2" [Screenshot]
Almost maxed in precraft window, and i'm not sure or it will "jump" to +3, if mix with mobs mats.

the logical response is MAX vs.

Logical - yes... But not all 'penetrate' into details and can 'understand' exc/supreme armor with 49% PF or below(even if possible get 46%, using only Supreme mats)

is this heavy, med or light armour we are talking about? Poll and its results are a little misleading

Meaning of this poll - was analyze players priorities in heavy armor stats , but I was insufficiently clear and some people misunderstood me.

And as ppl noticed, 1 maxed stat - 'hurt' minimum 2 others...

Left off the "because it looks good" option.

So no vote from me.

I chose protection factor, but only because it was on the list, and it is my SECOND choice. My first choice is, of course, how it looks. I'm not a min/max kinda gal, so I just go with what looks really good to me, and the second thing I consider is protection factor. Sorry, I just don't get into the math of a game. I play a game to escape, to enjoy myself, and to have fun. If I have to crunch the numbers, too, then it starts to become entirely too much like my RL job, and therefore, not fun. So, looks for me, 4tw, please.

I'm a medium armor fanboy, can't really vote in this poll
