Personally I am going for Majestic set and DLE health.
Why? Because +weight limit is extremely nice to have (more cp potions + more shots for pve) and stun resist is almost essential, since we Kamaels have no natural resistance.
Also, all other sets bonuses I see as a non-factor in PvP and I am not that wealthy to have PvE and PvP sets to switch when needed.
1. your not an Archer if you were then I would say get majestic.
2. Your a Melee class first and mage Second so you focus on your first and VR on NM is a nice add for PVE and you get +1 dex.
3. NM has the same P defence as Majestic and it adds M defence the stun resist you get on Majestic is not going 2 help you much with your low con ask any DE your going get stun anyway. Best have Sleep and Hold Resist which will work with your extra M defence.
4. I will say it again your Going to get Stun regardless. Majestic is a Archer class Armor. I had majestic on my PW and sold it for Nightmare. Nightmare is dam ugly on Light Elf but you won't see me in majestic again (unless I sub a Archer class) NM works nice on my PW for PVP/PVE and adds to my evasion . I have 141 Evasion and that's with no UE or any other evasion buff.
Nightmarish Leather Armor
Upper and lower body armor. Produces the following effects when worn with helm of nightmare, gloves of nightmare and boots of nightmare (light): M. Def. +4%, Sleep and Hold Resistance +70%, Restores 3% of melee damage inflicted on the enemy to oneself, DEX +1, and CON -1.
You should not dismiss Majestic so easily only because it gives archery bonus and you are not an archer.
I would dare not to agree with AshleyHunter on the statement, that you won't feel stun resistance bonus. I was playing several DE toons and I should say, that while your stun resistane won't be nearly close to that of an orcs or humans, but you WILL resist significantly more stuns. Mobs will constantly stun you nevertheless tho.
And about the other bonuses, I would say that ability to carry hundreds more CP potions is much more important than having 4% of mdef, when your mdef is very high already. And weight limit will allow you not to care about shots and potions amount in your inventory so much.
Only good thing I see about NM is hold resistance actually.
Yes, I always try look into things PvP-wise, because it seems stupid for me to care about mobs, that you will be able to kill with any set and won't feel any difference in any bigger party.
If I had to choose PvE set, i would go for NM, but when I have to concider that I will be fighting not only mobs with that set, I must ask myself what is more important for me to kill easier - a player or a monster.
What your saying is good but Oldfart never said that he needed it for pvp or not. He may only have the money for 1 armor and for pvp/pve NM is just a better buy. Yea majestic helps in stun but my Orc Mage (Mage mind you) stun DE's and Kamaels that are higher level then my WC like they had no con at all even if they have on majestic. But if I try sleep a DE in NM most of the time it fails even humans and they have the worst M defence. and you don't need carry a ton cp pots if you don't pvp much.
Also the more monsters you kill the better you can PVP becasue of your higher level. ;)
Yeah, got to agree, it depends for what purpose you need it.
But still, I just love +weight gauge... forgot already what it means to be overweighted :P
And I'm still going for MJ, even tho I don't think i will PvP very much.
I have to agree on not having majestic, I have stunned the mess out of majestic weares be it kamael or DE to human or orc and they still stun easy. and Majestic light sucks and is ugly. Only with BOSS jews and majestic does it become "stun proof" although kamaels die after one stun.
Human Males? You have to be joking... I have dropped my TH back then only because I couldn't stand the sight of Majestic light armor. And NM at that.
It depends on a personal view i suppose :>

I was thinking about MJ and NM all the day (since I will have to decide myself about that soon) and I still believe MJ is the way to go.
OK, let's say +50% stun resistance is a nonfactor (I don't believe that, but whatever), then we have only weight limit and archery bonus, which is total nonfactor. NM has 3% VR, a bit of mdef and root resistance.
Now, since I HATE solo, I couldn't care less about having a VR, since in normal party I wont notice it anyway. Kamaels Mdef is very high in general, so I believe 4% here and there wont make big difference especially when all Mdef thing is a big joke. You will be two shot with twice as big mdef anyway (okay, maybe not 2shot, but 4% still doesnt make any difference in A grade).
So basically I am left with weight limit VS root resistance, which I find very useful. Root resistance helps me in pvp, weight limit helps me in pvp AND pve AND in general it's nice to have.
So, my conclusion is +weigth limit > root resistance

Well dam you put it that way yea it's better for you if you group but if you solo a lot like me the 3% vr stacks with SE vr which put's me in a happy space :)
