Stamina DK: Medium vs Heavy Armor

The_Red_Viper

I would like to solo end game PvE content but would also like to not be rejected for veteran dungeons because I am wearing the incorrect armor or have the incorrect build. So, what is the best armor to use since the new patch?

Medium Armor

For DPS medium, Tank Heavy

Medium Armor

If you want to both solo content and enter groups for vet content, the only correct answer is 2 seperate builds. Heavy armor is trash for dps in a group. If you're insistant on choosing only one, go medium so the only person your choice makes things harder for is yourself.

Medium Armor

For PvE medium is the most damage, especially when you can not keep up the wrath wep dmg buff 100%.

However, I am here to QQ about how much medium armor sucks in PvP.

Medium Armor

Heavy armor is definitely not worth the sustain issues (and the resulting mediocre damage) that come with it.

That being said, you can still run 6m and a heavy armor piece for extra passive survivability, as well as an ability or two to help you stay alive (Deadly cloak, Bone / Sun shield, Vigor, etc).
