What's the difference between Archon Plate, Superior Loricated Mail, Dusk Shroud... Besides durability and defense. I read somewhere on reddit that your walk speed changes, but its not listed - is that true ? Also if i do it in a 420 defense instead of a perfect one... loosing -100, does that really make a difference ? Is there a indestructible one ?

Can be used to make Runewords:

LM is heavy - high Strg req - medium defense
DS is light - low Strg req - medium defense
I'd make mine in an AP Def 5xx+ (defense makes enemies miss their hits)
Looks good, has good Defense and it's Light (does not affect your speed as an Heavy does)
And there are no indestructible bases.
OP
So how you tell if its heavy or light ?

I wondered that if 2 armors that has similar defense but one is lighter, less Str required will make the character runs faster when equipped?
Yes armor classified as "light" won't penalize Run Speed where as "heavy" does. However, if you have a high run speed bonus it won't be a huge difference. Depends what you value more.Sutlore wrote: 3 years ago I wondered that if 2 armors that has similar defense but one is lighter, less Str required will make the character runs faster when equipped?

The weight of armor's come in light, medium and heavy, you can find out which armor type are which weight by looking up Base armor types. Armor weight effects stamina and how LONG you can run before running out of stamina, it doesn't effect run speed. Light has it's advantages but so done heavy, heavy usually has higher defense but also requires more strength to wear.
go to the database, click on base item types, then click the item type button, select body armor, then click the utility button for light, medium or heavy to see which.
Now for my characters, i usually go with the Kraken Shell or Lacquered Plate look as i prefer their appearances on my characters, but for merc's i go with the highest def they can wear according to their strength so they can live longer.

Is that true? I've read the contrary.
That's a good candidate for Fortitude imo. Especially if it's for a Merc, but in case you want to swap it out to let a player character wear it. If it is being built just for a Merc, hold out for a good ethereal armor to put it in.
Archon Plate, Wire Fleece, Great Hauberk, Dusk Shroud, wyrmhyde are generally the best to make a Fortitude in.
They are all light armors so you will not incur the speed or stamina penalty.
Most important thing is how cool you look though. So try them on before you put your runes in them.
The defence differences will be + or - 1% chance for an enemy to hit you most likely so, not super important.
