For a samurai, should I be using scale armor? I heard that the majority of damage in the mazes/maps comes from phys. Around 70/30 ratio phys/magic. Is this accurate intel? I'm currently using a leather armor lvl 40 103% ee. I see onyl a few armors up for grabs from 45-55 item level (currently 59) up for grabs in the mp, but my magic defenses would drop significantly as none are leather. Is there a a preferred armor for solo climbing? I did find alvl 55 +24 dex platemail, but that's for group play with a healer/tank if I'm not mistaken. Again I'm a solo player. What armor would you find slashers recommend to get me out of my town/regen gear lifestyle.

As far as tank armors go, Scales are the absolute best. Then leathers, heavies. Lastly are robes, theyre trash.

heavy = plate?
medium = chain?

Correct

Mediums I consider leather and scale.

Heavies I consider chain plate.


A solid ee padded I'd call medium

Had to edit what i said cuz i am tired af lol. Mediums are scales/leathers heavies are chain/plate. My apologies.

but scale is still top tier for tanking right? Even though you consider it a med armor? You said you consider heavy>medium in regards to tanking

Yeah ignore that part, Scales are the BEST tank armor hands down.

Vouch

So leather armor is probably superior for soloing since it has a mix of both phys/magic dmg reduction. I'd imagine tank armor is better considering you have a healer in your composition right?
