Which two pieces of gear do you make plate?

Gothlander · January 2016

I want to look like a plate wearer, but I have to equip 5 medium to get the dps passives. Which two pieces of gear should I make plate that would make me look like a plate wearer?

I'd go with chest and legs. Both are large pieces, e.g. they will grant you more armor/resistance than small pieces. The plate look should also be ok, I guess.

Chest and head would be the most obvious to me. Shoulders as well.

Chest and shoulders give the maximum effect, for the same reason lazy frat thugs only work out their arms and chest to get a "bar body".

I just wear one of the costumes from the Armoured Knights Pack.

Cmon guys, this is a no brainer.
Chest + boots. Legs are partially hidden by the plates that are attached to the chest, and also legs should be lighter for movement, gloves don't matter very much as long as they cover the whole hand, HIDE helmet, if shoulders are big then it's alright and make sure the boots are heavy as hell.

IMO

Looks: Helm/Shoulders
Armor/Resistance: Chest/Legs

However, that being said, I've never noticed too much of a difference in damage mitigation from the amount of armor/resistance you get from the Chest/Legs combo, compared to Helm/Shoulders combo. As such, I tend to go more for that one as most medium Helm/Shoulder styles aren't particularly too attractive (imo).

Actually, it doesn't matter whether you use legs, helmet or shoulders (and possibly, not 100% sure, boots) as second piece since they all offer the same armor...

I'll have to check that tonight. If that is the case, then I'm definitely sticking with my choice from here on lol

Chest does offer most, so keep in mind that piece should definitely be heavy.
