warrior armor

1. Although i do not own it because i find it dumb looking, is there any question that gladiators armor is the best in the game, or is there something better?

2. If you use a rune of absorption on a piece of armor, does it work for the set, or just that piece? Cause if works for the whole set wouldnt that make knights armors dmg reducer pointless being on all pieces?

1. Gladiators gives very good defense with 80 AL and 20 against physical... but the main thing is it also gives energy. There is ZERO reason (besides looks) to use platemail because Gladiators has the same AL and gives energy.

2. Rune of Absorbtion is everything. It doesn't matter where you apply it to. And yes, it does make knight's armor having reducers on everything pointless. That's why people generally use only one item in knight's armor.

Also, I believe absorbtion and knight's reduction stacks.

If you want a thorough explanation of the absorption rune, go ahead and take a look at this thread :

just to correct, platemail is 85+10 now, like dragon armor. So it would make a difference if you used platemail vs. gladiators, but still, gladiator's comes out the victor.
