Cyrus_Blackfeather Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Hey guys, Having a bit of trouble deciding what armor I want to use for my melee Mindstalker (Soulblade/Trickster) build for the bulk of the game. So far, it's a choice between: 1. Devil of Caroc Breastplate: My go-to for most builds, though the +2 Power Source doesn't matter as much in a melee/caster multi. Also, I don't really need that much Guile per-combat, only three for my main buffs. At level 20, it's 11 Guile compared to 9. The Recovery Speed buff is also nice, but I'm not sure how mandatory it is precisely. It's also got more armor on it overall. Plus it can be acquired super early. 2. Gipon Prudensco: Definitely wins from an aesthetic perspective, and that's important. I wouldn't be as durable as I would be wearing the DoC BP, but then I have Body Attunement. Grants Inspirations upon starting combat, as well as immunity to flanked or immunity to disengagement attacks, but not both. Takes a tough ship battle to get, though. Any other good choices? I'm leaning toward just using Miscreant's until I'm strong enough to get Gipon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunehunter Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Problem with Gipson is it’s vulnerable to pierce type, which is the most common damage type in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk'O'Saurus Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I'll bite the bullet and say Garari's. Mostly because of the recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haplok Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I wouldn't rely on Body Attunement too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manveru123 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Why pick between these two when Miscreant's with Abraham is better for this character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manveru123 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Only if both classes can use the bonus resources. This one can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus_Blackfeather Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Why pick between these two when Miscreant's with Abraham is better for this character? Pale Elves with bare sleeves just look weird to me. Aesthetics is a big part of the decision. Why pick between these two when Miscreant's with Abraham is better for this character? Nah DoC >> Miscreant in most cases. Hmm. Is that just for the +2 Guile, or do the armor bonuses matter more on their own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1TTFFSSE Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Why pick between these two when Miscreant's with Abraham is better for this character? Because this was about melee and not ranged and you need 12 ar at least in melee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1TTFFSSE Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I mean you will have less stress in a breastplate than in a light armor in melee until levels 15+ when you have so many godly abilities on the party that can heal/sustain you through damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
