what is the best armor combination for a warrior?(I heard I should use glatiator for all my armor but the boots, and use knight for the boots) I'm a Axe warrior btw.

Gladiator all over with knights boots would be better if you used a sword. You could wear platemail all over with knights boots. A sword req more energy than an axe, ultimately the diff between glad and platemail with knights boots is glad is better against melee and with more NRG, and platemail is better against elemental dmg.

Don't forget the Executioner's Helm for +1 to Axe Mastery, or whatever weapon you're holding. And should you ever switch to hammer, get the Stonefist Gauntlets.

I will admit to being a noob to this game, but I was given the tip that if you wear 1 piece of knight's armor (the boots were recommended) that you get the damage reduction everywhere. Is that true? It doesn't just reduce damage received to that area? Is this a bug, or intentional? Just seems odd.

Yes. It is universal.

I lobby for improvement.

Best combination for anything would be Gladiator's Chest, Legs, Gaunts (or stonefists if you use hammer), +1 to attribute helm, and knight's boots. Any other combination is inferior.

because majority of sword skills use energy, axe uses adrenaline except for swift chop and cyclone axe

Because the sword uses more energy-dependent attacks - Hamstring, Hundred Blades, etc. I use an axe and still go with Glad for the extra energy though - it helps depending on your secondary and what skills you're using.

And Rugal, try to use complete words and sentences; "y" is harsh on the eyes.

EDIT: Damn you LifeInfusion, beat me to it...

i hope one day they make it that 1 hit to arms means only arms are affected, instead of all around gayness of one piece of knights

Makes me feel like twice the noob, considering I just spent all that money on a full set of knights armor (now infused) and should have gotten gladiator instead. Still, knight's armor does look far better than the gladiator. If only this was a fashion show.
