I'm about to get my ascended armour for my Necro, and as I can't afford FoW just yet I was going to go with either Karl or Hagen.

After deciding I wanted Karl's armour, as it has 70 armour instead of 60 (and I can live with the +5 holy damage) and would prefer that over Armour 60 with the piercing resistance. The energy bonus' are the same aren't they?


I was wondering two things.

Which is rarer? And which looks better?

As I've chosesn Karl to craft my armour that leaves me with either Ascended Tormentors Armour or Ascended Necrotic Armor.

I'm guessing the Tormentors one is rarer, as the materials needed to craft it are more expensive. Am I correct?

Also, which has the most notable difference from normal Tormentor and Necrotic armour, as I can't really tell lol.

Anyway, here are the pics for those that don't know what they look like.

15k Kurzick dyed silver or black > any other necro armor IMO. That's what I have and I think it was worth every penny.

70 AL armor for pve just seems pointless to me. Unless your doing some n/w build, you should be standing far away from enemies. I always go with +energy armors for my casters.

lawl, 1.5k necrotic= bondage theme. Go for the 15k Necrotic, as 15k Tormentors is ugly IMO.

As for the +nrg comment, having less energy is smarter... you learn to manage better and not exhaust yourself instantly. Bonelace FTW.

Really can't make my mind up between the two....

:S

Defo going with 70 Armor though. Just which one?

I do love the colour scheme on that Necrotic...is that standard colour with red arms/legs. Or do I have to dye the mid parts as well (if so no idea what colour it is).

And any idea on which is rarer?

None, free and clear

If you have to choose between Tormentor and Necrotic Prophecies style, take Necrotic. Lookswise Necrotic >>>>> Tormentor.

I'm generally not happy with Necro armors tho. They all crappy (statswise). Scars are too little armor, Necrotic/Torm too much damage to holy stuff, +15 vs ranged is pointless, +35 health is kind of alright (unless u are saccing in which case it makes you sac more doh), Minion Master is only good if you run MM... It's really like picking the lesser evil when it comes to armor type. In PvP I use a mix of Necrotic/Tormentor chest, +hp, and + nrg. Thank God for the mix and match options from Fissure and Factions. I like the Kurzick 15k armor for male necros lookswise.
