OOOOH.

What kind of casting hidrances are you getting? I'm still considering going LBP and dropping my armor ranks to stuff into other things.

[Latrinsorm]

Not to be a buzzkill, but that has a lot more to do with padding than being LBP.

[Dwarven Empath]

Cast hinderance is just 4%. Which means I cast 96% of the time.

4% is WAY better than the 7% I'm getting with empath/brig. I'm seriously considering trying the LBP route and just working my way up to brig ranks again in armor training if I'm not satisfied.

First I need a fixskills then I need some padded LBP.

Cuib leathers are where it's at!

[Dwarven Empath]

I have this in my shop.

an ancient cracked leather breastplate - 5,000,000 silvers
It imparts a bonus of +18 more than usual. It is padded to lessen the damage the wearer takes.

I wore it from level 20-80ish

How much padding?

[Dwarven Empath]

It's decent padded

7x DCP brig is where is at for my empath...but he also swings a claidhmore quite effectively
