It's been a long while since I played my WS. With the coming of CT2 (and a lot of new skills for the WS), I thought it would be time to get her from the shelf and see if I can get her into a-grade ;)
But it's not yet that time... Today I just hit 50, and I hope to hit B-grade somewhere at the end of next week or so. And then the question of armor comes along...
Right now I have only a Doom Leather Armor set in my WH (initially for my now-retired Kamael), and I was thinking to let my WS wear it.
Problem arises on gained damage (I won't use a shield of course and will add +DEX dyes) since evasion is not optimized. But with my +8 Yaksa Mace * Rsk. Focus, I think they might combine nicely.
I don't worry about killing the mobs too slow. I have a wolf with me who's 2 levels higher then me and soon can be evolved (and become my main tank)
I'd like to know if Light is a (workeble) option for an active playing WS, or if I should wait till A or even S-grade before I start using light....
Light armor is imo never really a good option for a dwarf, we dont have high enough evasion to make it worth using. from my expirience a heavy armor will always make you take less damage then you will with a light.
although, if you have a rsk. focus weapon you might want to take more damage just so you can keep under 60% HP for that SA to work.

That was my thought as well. Eventhough the Doom LA is +6, it still has a much lower p.def then the FP I'm wearing right now.
I think I can boost my evasion to somewhere around 95 max on level 52, but I'm not sure if that's enough...

I have no problem getting at the 60% when wearing heavy armor as well :) And with buffs (best SE for VR) I do loads of damage :eek:
I'm using PL+6. With the new buff for light armor we get my evasion is 102 at level 57. I'm planning to add +5 DEX tats next cycle. This setup is very good for solo hunting field mobs. Have yet to check on 4x mobs.
