Armour reflection.

from Elemental Forums

I have realized that armour recently become very irrelevant. Abilities to ignore armour that swords, spear and bows have, together with 'bash' causes that once you have mid-late games armies battle turn in to contest who hits first. Sometimes it is bad to the point that it is literally one-shot situation. If i get them first, i one-shot them, if they get me first, I am dead. Recently i discover that there is no point in wasting precious metal on armour, i use it all for high level weapons, since armor provide little difference, and is very, very expensive.

1-2 heavy armor units in an army is ok if they can hit hard, trouble is they can never seem to hit as hard as an archer or staff user in the rear on wargs.

 

I prefer to maximize dodge, accuracy and attack. I use the champion piece that gives accuracy bonus just because it contributes to that, cloak of shadows is great...  I can't be wasting my metals and crystals on armor.

 

I just leather up, and use crystals/metals on accessories or "choice gear".

 

Edit:

 

Your right, Dexers make better tanks, I had a guy with dodge really high and he blocked 8 enemy units. I just knew if I traded every point of Dodge for Armor or Defense, he would have been dead.
