If pro includes putting on tier 1 gear and dying at level 65 on warlock, I am not sure if I want to be pro.

Sorry brah, I had to do it.

so what? he said ur dex doesnt matter for the armortype as they ignore the armor anyway.

u could do the test with 200 dex and with 0 dex. the results would be still comparable.

when we compiled data we took out obvious crits
that makes the data a little less reliable if you're looking for exact values of when a scale overtakes a plate and such, since I'm not perfect and I might have taken out a real hit and not a crit, thus skewing the averages
but overall the results can still be considered accurate since we had a huuuge pool of data

but the whole point here was to show the behavior which all these graphs have in common
which is that a plate is best with no ee, but then chain and scale take over

O_o

nice job, gotta take a better look on those at some point, looks very intresting idd

Bump

Thanks for the guide,now i won't get laughed at anymore in the beginning when i join a game with a high ee scale vs high ee plate.

at the end they're sad cuz they died at ambush

This was my test, Lvl 55 Catacomb, no ep encounters.

230% Plate
149 Hits Taken
5179 Total Damage
Average Damage/Per Hit = 34.75

220% Chain
150 Hit Taken
4438 Total Damage
Average Damage/Per Hit = 29.58

220% / 11int Scale
164 Hits Taken
2693 Total Damage
Average Damage/Per Hit = 16.42

nice work, buts thats not a guide

a guide explain with words so every noob understand it

what is with lether amors?

these are compareable to scales. if u would read the whole first post u could figure it by urself
and btw only starters guides are written for them. advanced guides like this are written by requireing some knowledge.
