best armor for fow

Hi, im interested in soloing the fow with my warrior doing spider runs. in your opinion what is the best armor to do it in? plate for armor or knights for absorbtion?

only 1 piece of absorb is need'd the rest is up too you put absorb on helmet or boots since those are the places where u get hit the least # of times

Heres what I have anyways...

Dulist Helm of Superior Swordsmenship + 1 Swordsmenship +3 Swordsmenship

Gladiator's Hauberk of Major Absorbtion - 2 dmg

Gladiator's Gauntlets of Minor Strength + 1 Strength

Gladiator's Leggings of Major Vigor +41 HP

Knight's Boots of Minor Tactics + 1 Tactics

Superior Absorbtion is not needed, unless if you have money to blow, it's the skills you should be working on.

nice set poison ivy but superior absorb is worth what it can do so is superior vigor

-2-2 stance/enchant shield wit 16 AL is nice also

Spiders do physical damage right...?
you'll want high physical defense....

Knights: 90+absorb
plate: 95
glads: 100

solution: gladiators with ascalon boots = best

case closed =D

Gladiator's with Ascalon Helmet = best.

+1 weapon skill helm

I just don't see why you'd need +1 Tactics to do a spider run. Especialy if you're using the Physical Resistance build.

tactics for stances

+1 tactics = extra healing

It's genneraly a good idea to have the +1 from your helm to be in your highest atribute. Are you guys doing spider runs with a higher tactics than weapon mastery?

I agree with Murder, full Gladiator's with an Ascalon helmet is most efficient. Best against physical attacks, which is what you take constantly in Fissure. Plus the extra energy is a huge help (yes, even if you use 100 Blades with a zealous mod). As for attributes, skills, etc - follow Racthoh's guide and you can't go wrong.

erm collectors ringmail is 100 vs phys too just no energy bonus

hehehe.

Glads + ascalon helm may be efficient for certain things but it is the least efficient for everything else.

You'd have to have an extra pair of boots if you ever want to go out and do some decent damage...
