Hi. I would like to buy the following, please CoD:
[148443265] Exquisite Reinforced Leather Helmet of Protection (Level 240) | Price: 5k Credits
[113795757] Legendary Jade Leather Breastplate of Protection (Level 259) | Price: 15k Credits
[145211728] Legendary Cobalt Leather Leggings of Warding (Level 250) | Price: 20k Credits
I have a feeling that I am over-paying... I'm sure that I don't have any clue as to how bad Leather actually is, and am probably underestimating how good Shade is. Regardless, I need some better gear and I'm still 2H / Leather for the time being.
Actually, Leather is pretty decent, especially at lower levels. You can even upgrade it for very cheap to reach very good stats.
It's only
unpopular, not bad. Shade is acknowledged as being better though. But I wouldn't recommend shade for Longswords, due to attack speed being counter-productive regarding Bleeding Wound.
