it depends on 1. group or solo 2. your role.
1. if your in a group and they need a tank EE armors are the way to go. If they have a tank you want to use a Stat armor.
If your solo EE armors will allow you to last longer against those pesky eps and allow less towning to regen. Stat armors work solo too but you will shrine/town more often
2. If you are a feeder/sammy/pally you have 1 of two roles you can perform.
a. Tank- Wear EE armors and be a meat shield while you pray the healer heals.
b. Damage Dealer- Goal obtain the highest amount of Primary stat you can with the best EE weapon you can afford so you may click your heart out and deal all the damage you can.
The choice is yours.
