what is the best armor?


no name white boy

Recommended Posts

oh no no i would never conflict with anyone about the armor they wear. its just that pretty much every time ragnarok steps into a thread he contradicts anything anyone says because he spent months building a lvl 300 player and thinks hes on a different plane of rules and physics than everyone else. most people like to start many characters and have them represent different themes. so the average player, given three (eh...) different characters will probobly experiance all the armor types before they are done with the game. i know i have.

 

anyway, back on topic everyone...

Okay then, back on topic. As for light armour, glass armour would have to be the best. aesthetically and functionally. Indoril armour is also quite good, except for the fact that the ordinators don't like you wearing it. Medium? Orcish armour is a nice, well balanced piece. Duke's guard and silver pieces are definitely the best imperial styles. Finally, heavy. Ebony and deadric, both very weighty and very expensive, but offer the best protection. Then there are the many rare and enchanted pieces which are all covered in the corprus dwarfe's nice book :P

My last setup was the helm of Oreyn Bearclaw, glass pauldrons, fists of Randagalf(sp), dragonbone cuirass, glass greaves, boots of the apostle. Nice armour value, low weight. Great for carrying off all that loot while still hacking apart blighted monstrosities :angry:

Actually, for those of you that have bloodmoon, go for Nordic silver mail! It has the most massive AR rating of any medium armors (I'm pretty sure of this but I could be mistaken). Or royal guard armor. Do you get in trouble for wearing royal guard armor? Also adamantium.

 

Tribunal and Bloodmoon have done a good job with providing the medium armor wearer some much better options, which the original Morrowind really failed at. I was getting tired of everyone just going to heavy armor cause it eventually gave you a sky-rocketing AR with daedric and stuff.

 

Sometimes I wish that characters weren't allowed to max out all of their stats and become a jack-of-all-trades uber-character. Sometimes I think about how gameplay would be if being really really good at light armor would decrease how fast you can train and how good you can get in heavy armor. Or something. Or maybe it can be more attribute-oriented. A lot of strength means that you are limited in agility. Have you guys ever thought of that?

it does tick me when i see someone post about wearing glass and ebony, or you know just severely mix matched armor types simultaneously. when really all you need is to be good at one type and leave your other maj/min slots for more useful things.

that especially struck me when i found out that bonemold is actually better than steel, given the skills are the same.

 

also, some of the weight/AR ratios are way off. if someone is good in light armor, say, they would automaticly out the gate go for Chitin, because it is the lightest and most powerful armor they can get so soon. somethings wrong when you still cant choose mobility over AR even within the same armor type. maybe they'll fix this in MEmod, but w/e...

NITPICK ALERT! Eiade...AR rating? AR == Armor Rating, right? sorry, had to say it.

anyhoo, the best armor would probably be whatever has the highest enchantability, not sure what that would be. I know that Daedric Greaves have 7, that's all I remember. I think that shields have a decent capacity, got Fortify Strength 10 CE.

oops...that would be an Imperial Shield

I like a combonation of armor like fur boot so im more quite

lol, boot (singular?). lol, again, quite (quiet?)

he said he likes a combination, so..... one fur boot... and one daedric....

mmm. now that sounds like a good idea. balancing half and half armor for weight. but wait, if the fur boots are only worth like 10 AR then wouldnt it just be better to ditch it for the weight because its not like that 10 AR is gonna do anything to your overall defense rating. but w/e youre the trendsetter here. lol :D
