I have always like the look of the 15k Plate. I have a set of 15k Sentinal Kurzick and a set of 15k Glads. With some builds, it can be a pain to keep up the 13 Str req of Sentinals. What do you guys think about 90al armor? Is it worth it if I already have 100al armor?

Also, I tend not to use my glads that much as I hate energy heavy builds.

depends if you have 13 strength all the time or not, i find it very limiting to use that much strength, only a very small percentage of the time i will find myself with 13 strength, mainly only running, id get the platemail to give yourself the option of other builds that dont rely on commiting into that much strength.

Take note that it's 90 AL but only +10 versus physical ... which means that the only real difference between Plate and non-Plate is a +10 boost to elemental AL.

So ... do you plan on tanking more often against elemental mobs or players?
