Heavy Armor or Medium

Kazeras · April 2014

I'm having a difficult time deciding if I want to stick with Medium Armor or Heavy Armor for my Imperial Dragonknight with an emphasis in Draconic Power.
Was wondering if I could get a few thoughts to ponder. Thanks

Well, heavy armor works for survive-ability. Medium armor works for damage, stamina, and stealth. So, if you are going for resistance and health, heavy armor would be your route. If you are going for stamina, stealth, and damage per second, medium armor is the way to go.

And keep in mind that you can have a mix of both. If you really can't decide, be sure to always have at least one of both armor types on to level their respective lines.

If you mix armor types, there are bonuses available for having 5 of one type (the remaining 2 slots can be the other type. If you want to minimize the look of the lesser armor, put one in your head slot and hide your helmet in the options menu so it doesn't show.

If you're going Draconic then magicka will be important for you. A possible split of 5/2 Heavy/light or vice versa could be beneficial to you. It all comes down to what you want to do.

From what I've seen, if you take all of the perks and depending on your racial skills you could overcharge the benefit you want after 4 pieces. Just play around with it and see what you like.
