I got this tonight and was very happy to get it. Since I'm still working on faction for Thurg gear this is a good no drop item to wear on a PvP server. Especially with the MR. It gives me a better chance of resisting some of those snares/roots/blinds/nukes. I usually wear Worked Dragonhide Breastplate though.

I just got one of these tonight with my guild. As a level 57 druid, I'm very happy with it. Great AC for exp grinding, 50 mana (I am well over 200 wis), and resists for raids. It looks like green leather.
We got two of these last night and the rogue finally took the first one since everyone said it was junk just to loot it off the corpse. On the second one, I looked at it and saw the stats..
I looted it and it is a nice upgrade to my Verm Tunic I have been wearing for 11 levels. 5 more AC, 50 mana (my wis is still 220) and nice resists. For a druid this is nice even if not Uber. It will act as a temporary BP till I get my ToV one to finally drop.
Basically, Beastlords shouldnt play PvP servers anyway. they SUCK PvP. my lvl 36 monk w/stave of sheilding, and fist out meleed a 56 epic BL. she hit me for 60 one time all the rest hovered around 35-40. i was crushing for 50s and hitting her for 20s. her pet was > her melee skeelz~ k tanks...
True, the AC on this is better than most armors that are intended for a BST. But I'd hope that by lvl 55 a BST would have a treeweave or something, and I sure as hell wouldnt trade that for this thing. Maybe, MAYBE for a raid, but even then there's much better out there for all classes that level. And it's no drop? I'd be willing to bet many of these will rot on the ground.

Posted:Apr 17 2002 at 6:33 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Not bad for resists, but the lacking AC makes this a rather low end item. People around level 30-45 i would guess. Dont get me wrong though, im sure if you dont have better you would love it to death, its just there are way better breast peices out there. Monks in general i can see wearing this item, as well as maybe beastlords or other non-tank classes for the resists but other than that i cant see a main tank warrior wearing this. But that is just my opinion so keep to yourself about your opinion about my opinion because everyone is wrong at one point=) mabe this is my time to be wrong. Anyways other than the low-mid end AC the resists keep it floating and i would say its not a bad item for anyone who can use it to there advantage.
I think overall it's best for the BST.. since even their PoF armors sort of suck AC wise, and well that counts with the pog/thurg/kael/ss armors too.. this pretty much would replaces it (minus the trigger).. and the wt is too much for a monk... 4.0... BST don't have a penalty on wts like monks do.
