Level 44 now. Working towards 45. Ill be able to up grade some then. Been using the same axe since 35. I gotta get a level 40 axe sometime or another. ( Its actually not that bad but it would help). Ill be able to use my nifty armor too

Just when I start feeling ok about what Im using, I happen to see someone elses and it just makes me feel like a total noob loser. Take sene (

Sene) for example. I have 26 in regen in items ( no not bad I dont suppose) but I happened to look at her gear and she has like almost that on one item. Just busted my bubble all to hell. Then I saw the 475 million% ee sword shes using.....
No I dont hate her ( not even for this )

. I know that eventualy Ill be able to upgrade like that. Ofc, by then, she will have something 10x better......

Melee needs 3 things:
1) Defense
2)Str
3)Dex
Which is most important? Hmmmmm instead of asking something I dont know how to ask Ill just post my 3 armors and you all can tell me which is best. Reguardless of level. Im only interested in stats/def.
1)Rare tempered diamond chain mail
Level Req: 45
Defense: 37 to 94
+22 Strength
+25 Dexterity
2)Rare runed leather armor
Level Req: 35
Defense: 13 to 39
+25 Strength
+15 Dexterity
3)Angelic mithril plate mail
Level Req: 25

+5 Strength
+28 Dexterity
+2 Extra Item Slots

My rogue can only wear armor #2, but my fighters can use all 3. I personaly prefer #1, but Im just a noob suxor......
