Aside from plated leather - worth it for Tyrant to go light?

Curious what you guys think? Ogre + Heavy or light for some reason?

well in older chronicles people are used to buy heavy armor for all classes except caster. Simply cause a Fullplate armor offers so much more p.def than anything else you can get. If a mage is hitting you, your armor cant help you but fighting against all other classes more p.def = less dmg.

And in general mobs are harder to kill you have to tank them much more/longer and since you always try to kill white mobs you cant avoid them good even if you are a evasion class like a PW you take 9/10 hits.

The overall better armor type in every situation is heavy. Still i would think about the Light, it depends what you want the most. There are nice c armors like Drake or Tempered Mihtril that offers M.def or Evasion.

early 40's there's nothing better dps-wise than plated leather, period.

and since in Classic 1.0 there's no dyes limitations, getting a +19 STR with dyes/plated leather should be quite awesome for farming mobs, especially if you plan to solo on hpx1 mobs, or if you're in a group with another tank.

however, if you're going to be the main tank of the group instead, then you might want to think about going heavy.

​What would you gimp to get +15 str? that's a lot of CON and DEX to lose, doesn't DEX give accuracy?

you dont need to "gimp" too much. plated leather is +4 str -1 con the other amount of str you get regualar by dyes. so actually you losing only -1 con by the plated leather set the other stats you would lose anyways for the +str. These are the best possible stats ingame for exping.

​for an Orc, CON can be sacrificed without issues when it's about exping. it's the race with the highest CON in game beside dwarfs.
