For soloing 55-71. Would you recommend a strength plate or tank plate?

Lmk what you would use and why

I think a tank plate would be ideal but I believe I was reading somewheres stat plates are better for solo
so lmk what you think
thx

Personally I use tank armor from 40 or 45-71. I find the tank armors to be cheaper, and without having very good gear it seems to be faster. Each monster is killed slower of course but I find I can chain a bit longer. If you have tons of FG then I'm sure a 220+ee weapon and a 70+ stat armor/charm would be faster, but until then stick with the ee armor.

I think high stats plates (alot and alot of both dex and intel on it) are the best. But the first problem its to found them and after came the second problem, the cost

And to beat a great ee plate this take very gozu dex/intel plates. Dex to avoid much criticals hits from mobs and intel to reduce magic damage.

So for most of people, high ee plates are enough good and more esy to buy.


But now with the new update, high ee scales seems to get a really good potential.

all depends on overall

ee > stat in most cases

also if you can afford a ee scale then it is MUCH more worth it since magic defense update

alright thx for info
guess I'll keep my 157ee scale


Thanks to everyone who answered

what if the lvl 55 chain 195ee had a 5 dex mod would that make it better than the scale or is the scale still better?
