SwS Armor

What C grade armor should I get for a level 40+ SwS? All help is welcome!

Depends on whether you're soloing or not, tanking for your parties or not, doing any PvP or not.

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions... Full Plate set. You're a defensive class, and need to maximize your defensive capabilities.

Ah thank you and what about B grade? I like to solo and I like to party so it doesn't really matter to me.

BW for almost all classes that wanna do any kind of damage.

Do you know of any tattoos that I could get?

My 59 SwS has a +4 Str/-4 Con tat to maximize his damage. I didn't want to go too much -Con yet because I get stunned too much as it is. When I hit A-grade and use the Majestic Heavy (built in stun resistance) I'll add on a +4 Dex/-4 Con tat.

went 5+ STR 5- CON on my sws from C grade up to 79, wouldn't add +DEX unless your pro pve only

I agree. I only did +4 STR, but that's because I'm too lazy.

Try out Plated Leather armor until you get to B-grade, might be pretty decent, the only way for an SWS to get a decent attack rating at such low levels. BDs level sooo much faster, I see that after playing with my lowbie BD.. just crazy. 21 CON though is a hassle, spend all the SS he can carry in 30mins!

SwS are a defensive class? i thought they were party assistant fighters.... personally i would just use light armour... cause u get no more heavy armour mastery but i guest its good to have that extra p def in case u find urself in a pvp battle

They're defensive oriented, as you can see from their entire skill set..
