1 less AC than tattered, I plan on picking one of these up because when I dequip my centi for the swarmcaller, my stamina drops below 100. I think this is probably the highest AC chain shoulders you can get before 40-45 at least.
yar these are sweet for a tank in the mid lvls...and for the moron that said rangrs cant wear plate ummm....then what do you call mitheral and the silver plated leggings i have on my lvl 22 ranger...
Being able to wear a piece of armor with a plate armor graphic does not mean your class can wear plate. Human monks can wear the Symobl of Loyalty to Vox, which looks like a plate bracer. You could hardly call monks a plate class because of that one item.
By the same token, druids can wear the BCP, which looks like plate. Are you saying druids are a plate class now?
Think before you start calling people morons, the house you live in may be made of glass.
In general, rangers can't wear plate. But there are many pieces they can wear... even the Kunark armor is plate. Tolan's Darkwood ____... Can you make chain armor out of magical wood? I don't think so.
Had somebody give me these the first night I was exploring/hunting MM. (thanks again!!) Don't know if they're really rare because he said they were the "common" drop off the Avenging Catliff. My group fought the AC once and got a crested helm (value 810pp). Hrmmm.... do wish it had more strength but the AC is very nice for a 20ish ranger.

I am a 42 ranger on the nameless, I am always working to bost my ac to a height where I can tank, unthought of for a ranger, but I'm fairly good at it.I'm curently working on replaceing my frozen mantle for a tattered and saw this. ONLY use items and weapons I earn, I hate being called a twink for EARNING my Ivy tunic at 20. I work for every piece of armor I bare, good for 20? I would welcome it at 40, but when I started my character it was MUCH harder to aquire suh items, at the time I had my mage this this piece would be equiped in the mid 40s.
Ac is king.....this is one of the better ac shoulder items in the game for tanks.....i'm not saying it's uber..but it's very easy to get so therefor i'd say it would even be helpfull (and i really mean it) for an 50+ player. I'm an lvl 51 pally and when i'm main tank in group i even would equip it.
Nice shoulder item, very cheap. but what struck me is how good these would be for a Iksar Warrior. Tattered mantle as you know is 12ac +20hp, this thing is 1ac less, but the 6sta equates to at least 20hp, but the big benefit is that Iksar War's have low sta, so this would not only give them HP but give them a higher sta so they would not loose stamina in battle so fast. Just thought i'ld point out this good, cheap item for all you iksar warriors :)
Avenging Caitliff...the one who gives the Wakazashi quest (the 7/21 swords)...he drops this shoulderpiece and a crested helm (10ac 6str 3cha). neat huh?
Rogues and Rangers can wear it, and they can't wear plate. Clearly, depsite the fact that they made it a "plate" icon, its not actually plate mail. Probably chain, or bone, or something like that.
