Brothers of Arms

[Gert]

I'll be listing in this thread the breakdown of what armours/vendors for each class:

Source:

Armours will either be available as Vendor or Dungeon - Vendor requires you are friendly enough with the faction, have enough tokens and enough cash to buy the gear; Dungeon can either come from vendors (hard mode tokens & cash required) or as drops in hard mode dungeons. Dungeon is always better than Vendor but harder to acquire; Dungeon also includes a fair amount of epic gear.

Classification:

Armour will be roughly classified as following:

• DPS - this will be armour focussed on providing DPS over anything else - for HoXes this will be tagged with 2he or Magic accordingly
• Survivablity - this will be armour focussed on providing survivability over anything else - this will include Protection, evasion and immunity
• DPS/Survivability - balance between the DPS & Survivablity sets
• Healing - set focussed on increasing Healing Rating (Priests only)

Class armour list:

Mages:

• Demonologists
• Herald of Xotli
• Necromancer

Priests:

• Bear Shaman
• Priest of Mitra
• Tempest of Set

Rogues:

• Assassin
• Barbarian
• Ranger

Soldiers:

• Conqueror
• Dark Templar
• Guardian

   Note

List isn't 100% accurate or complete - we will be maintaining this as we go though

Thanks to Albae for his help in collating this list

Little comparison for the tanky soldiers out there...

I have (had ) both T2 and the Dungeon full plate Prot set on Gert...with T2 critigation was non-existent and so getting 5-6k crits on me in dungeons with 2% critigation amount and 25% chance; the Dungeon set gave me 55% critigation amount and with perks I could get 75% chance to have that happen...so Faction gear will be really useful (read: essential) for Khitai dungeons (and raids) whilst T2/T3 will still be useful for "old" AoC and most of the world play in Khitai.

One thing with the full prot set, my dps dropped by about 20dps - which is inline with a prot set over hybrid or dps.

Personally, I'll be aiming for Vendor dps heavy from Wolves for world play and Dungeon full plate prot from Last Legion to cover me for dungeons/raids - those 2 with T2 will be a good coverage for a majority of the content.
