Try with an expert kit
okay...why the hell are party members greyed out when they leave?
*i lost a connection while with a party and they said to try entering the mission and seeing if it'll re-add me to the party (didn't work)...so is there a way to re-join a party w/o them having to go back <_<

Every time you leave a town it spawns a new instance of the wilderness area and you basically enter your own private server. There is no way to join a group that is already in a wilderness area from town. Otherwise, like Diablo 2, high level groups of players would enter the areas your group was exploring and hunt you all down for sport.
It's a bit restrictive but it's a safty precaution to keep players from being complete jackasses to each other.

:blink: Issss wantssss itssssss!!! :P
cause i hate this gladiator armor....barely covers me yet has 50 AR rating <_<
[snapback]25315[/snapback]
ya well its meant to give you more energy... soooo you're prob gunna have to just deal with it, and those armor ratings are standard for where/who you get the armor from... so all warrior armor from yak's bend has 50 armor rating, but one of the crafter's in ascalon gives you armor with only 30 armor rating... (oh and note- don't waste money on crafting in lion's arch unless its armor you couldn't get before! it has the same armor as you should ahve already had... hehe)

Platemail armor is better then Knights becouse it has higher armor lever and it always can be upgraded with superior runes of absorbation. I doubt that any experienced player would choose Knights Armor
[snapback]25320[/snapback]
What Rune fails to understand is that Knights armor + Superior Rune of absorption = better dmg reduction than Platemail with Superior Rune of absorption. What you should do is buy one piece of Knights Armor and then the rest Platemail, so you get the benefit of the dmg absorption of knights armor + the extra armor of platemail.
Thanks to 420 for researching exactly how the dmg absorption of the knights armor works.
Anyway i'd use full Knights Armor cause it looks much cooler ;)

It's amazing that so many guys are uncomfortable with your half-naked Warriors in the gladiator armor. Let me guess: you're all playing male characters, right? Bet you wouldn't mind if you were using the female model...

Lister: "Yeah, but what pixels!"

Platemail is way better then Knights becouse 85 with dmg reduction is better then 80 with double dmg reduction.
[snapback]25336[/snapback]
Really? Care to offer up some proof?
Platemail is way better then Knights becouse 85 with dmg reduction is better then 80 with double dmg reduction, that's what you fail to understand Mo. And don't mix Platemail and Knights, full 85 with dmg reduction is the best armor for warrior.
Using Knight's armor just becouse it looks cool is wrong, look won't help much in pvp, so it's best to take what is cheap but good, of course if you are not full of money.
[snapback]25336[/snapback]
Instead of trying to make other people look wrong because their oppinions don't agree with your own, try accepting it and getting on with it. There is nothing "wrong" about using Knight's armor just because it looks cool, and the armor will help in PvP just the same. Mo has a good point with using one piece of the Knight's and rest platemail for more damage reduction.
@Lord
-um..my armor was rated at 50 (helm was 55) so take yo shit-ass armor (prolly elemental) and smelt it tongue.gif
=P warriors always get higher armor ratings than other classes and I hardly play my RP elementalist. *kicks* BAD KHADGAR!
-Elessar
Proof? Man 85 is just better every1 knows that, it's a fact. If you ask any1 who know something about this game he will tell you the same. And i am not trying to make people look bad Mo tried that when he said that I fail to understand.
[snapback]25352[/snapback]
for your first sentence- see comment below
for the second sentence- the world does not revolve around you. there are plenty of people who know plenty about this game who will not tell you the same
for the third sentence- yes you are, you did fail to understand. he said that knight's armor with supperior rune of absorption has better damage absorption than platemail with superior rune of absorption, which is true, and you know it cuz you stated it below. as for the 1 piece knights w/sup absorption and the rest platemail, that was a suggestion, so dont take it as a "this is right and everything else you say is wrong", cuz i dont think mo would really do that...
again- see below comment for my oppinion on your post in general
You have to consider that you will fight something else then physical attacks, and dmg absorbation on Knights armor can be bigger yes but only protect you against physical attacks, so it's better to have extra 5 armor ( on platemail ) that will protect you agains all dmg and you still have 3 dmg reduction ( from superior rune of absorb ) which is higher then nonupgraded Knights armor coz it has only 2 dmg reduction. Now would you really like to have 2 more dmg absorb or 5 AL ?
If yes, i don't have any problems with it, just saying whats better.
[snapback]25352[/snapback]
>.> you should add the word "oppinion" to your vocabulary, because you seem to be sorely lacking it
Ellesar now i am starting to have some huge fun with you. When you know that some guy will try to " kill " everything you say it becomes fun. :P
I just helped Khad and you guys got involved in it. But this time I am right :D becouse Platemail IS WAY BETTER then knight's, LOL just check the other forums if ya don't believe me, you will see that people are saying things like " Any1 wearing Knight's armor is an idiot".
You guys are really acting strange, whenever some1 is trying to help you must get in it.
That's why i left CH, i can't stand it :)
[snapback]25371[/snapback]
Facinating. Well in practice I've noticed that I seem to take less dmg on average than my friend who has full platemail. I also seem to survive longer in the wilderness. Which is weird since I am an "idiot with knights armor". Coming from a game design point of view, the game designers would have two similiarly priced armors, with one being "way better" than the other. Especially not in a game such as GW which appears to be very balanced all the way through.
Sorry to hear you left CH. Have you left GodSpire yet?
I think that dmg absorb on armor does not work against spells, it works only vs physical attacks.
[snapback]25389[/snapback]
Correct, but remember that armor is affected by Armor Piercing (strength attribute and some skills) and damage reduction isn't. I think it's safe to assume that Damage Absorption works better against physical damage (in general) while Armor works better vs. extremely high damage and elemental damage.
Keep in mind that they have rebalanced Damage Absorption before and they may do so again. It's not in Arena.net's best interest to make one type of armor superior to any other for PvP purposes.
I really haven't had to deal with this problem since I use Gladiator's Armor for the increased mana. Even at -60% Death Pentalty I have exactly 15 mana which allows me to use any of my skills.
