Armor
Overview
Such is the case with weapons, there are many different types of armor in the game. Each type of armor has it’s own benefits, and not all are available for all classes. Recommendations based on class can be found in each classes’ section.
These items can be crafted by armor smiths, but unlike weapons do not give any added augmentations when this is done. Because of that, whether the item is obtained by drops from mobs, quests, or other methods does not make a difference. At the same time, most good items are much easier to craft, and some of them are even craft-only.
Armor Types
The different types of armor are cloth, light, medium, heavy, and shield armor. Not all classes have shields as an option of armor
equipping. It goes along with heavy and medium armor generally, which are the best choice for Dark Templars and Guardians. Cloth armor is great for all of the different mages, and light armor is good for all other damage dealers. Along with this, the Guardian is the only class that is able to use Full Plate armor.
