Does Armor Type Effect FRW?

if so... what is the best armor for BVC.

yes
heavier armors will reduce speed
there is no need to post this in two forums

it does

if for hld, go with a light type enigma like

Mage Plate, Dusk Shroud, Wyrmhide, Wire Fleece, Great Hauberk, or Archon Plate...

would like a second opinion, no offense, but your 09

Being an 09 has nothing to do about my base knowledge of game mechanics.

there is only three different weight classes; Light, Medium, and Heavy.

Either light armour will work without reducing frw

I like MP the most (although many hate it, because it's mainstream).

MP has a good amount of defence and a reasonable strength requirement...

You can go with higher defence light armours, if you want, but since this is a bvc, I would personally go with lower defence and more points in vita

yeah. heavy armor = slower

Ringmail=gg and fucking great looking on a barb
