Armor accessories

[Bhuryn]

So with evasion mastery I am going to mess around with a lower level warrior I have and drop all armor use and wear no armor and focus on all the EBP cmans. Does anyone know what happens with no armor on if you wear an accessory? ASG lower lower then the lowest doesn't seem to compute =P.

Also, if you're running 3x shield and 2x dodge is there a formula to help calcuate the best EBP shield size? I would think medium or large, but with 3x US and 2x dodge a tower might outpace both in EBP.

He's probably going to get smashed, but it'll be funny if it works at all.

If you're wearing accessories with no (=cloth) armor they are treated as cloth, meaning they provide no protection and only encumbrance. So unless you need them for some other reason they're not helping you.

If you do go this route please just hunt totally naked except for a heavy backpack.

I just thought that at some point flaring helms and such might be useful. Will do on the backpack, hopefully he still has a fixskills so I don't have to wait 35 days to try it. How about a backpack and a bandolier, maybe some socks?

He is wearing a bright, colorful shirt, a knapsack, a black belt pouch, some tan shorts, some black socks and white sandals.

I wonder if I could alter a knapsack into a manpurse.

Hmmm, maybe blunts would be more appropriate so I could use a whip.

As far as I could tell throughout my testing, the best EBP is whatever generates the most physical DS.

You are holding a saw-toothed vultite katar in your right hand and a dark russet rolaren tower shield in your left hand.
You are wearing a heavy backpack.


Unfortunatly the only warrior I had with a fixskills was 11, but with:

Shield Bash sbash 2
Parry Mastery pmastery 1
Block Mastery bmastery 1
Evade Mastery emastery 1

the EBP is already kinda silly. I can't imagine what it'd be like if I get all of them maxed. I hunted some lower level mobs a bit without spells, I don't think I could hunt at this level reliably without spells, but this seems like it's probably much more age dependant then other builds. Next level I can get Emastery 2 so we'll see then.

I should have gone with blunts but this guy is voln so I couldn't give up brawling and I couldn't fit another weapon skill in yet =/.

Edit: in my idiocy (i'll use the excuse I haven't played in awhile) i forgot katars require edged weapon training =P

[Bhuryn]

I still have no idea what my ds is in defensive since I haven't seen it yet :D

Wow if this is really all that I'd like to see a few logs of you hunting and not getting hit.

[BriarFox]

You're going to get raped on CvA - skin is +25.

It's not really intended to be a seriously played character. Let me get 12 first and i'll post a log then :D.
