Armour for a barbarian

Tyrion · 10-31-2003, 12:55 PM

I was only wondering what good armours they can use..so far Ive only come up with the Shadow dragon scale, are there others?

Bah, a Barbarian doesn't need armour! Bare chested is the way to go, Conan style

If you insist on armour....the Shadow Dragon scale is about as good as you're going to get. In SoA anyway. In ToB, there is a very nice suite of dragon scale they can use, but that's irrelevant here. In terms of base armour class however, Barbarians might prefer to use the Crimson Chain +5 instead.

well...i've always thought it more fun to play through a bit and get some elven stuff...just so u get a green barbarian.... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Aegers Hide might be a way to go...has some nice "extras"

For pure armor class it won't get much better than Shadow Dragon scale
BUT
if you are evil and looking for the bare-chest look Human Flesh is the way to go (and has some incredible enchantments)

Crimson Chain actually has better base AC than the Shadow Dragon Scale.

human flesh sounds nice!
