I finshed off all the pieces of this armor yesterday and I thought I'd give my impressions.
Visually, it's very nice (except that helm *shudder*). Someone actually mistook me for a higher level...I was 9 at the time I finished everything.
Talked to a level 17 SK in EC who wanted to know about the armor. I sent her some stats, which she commented were better than some of the leather armor she was wearing.
The complete set yields some pretty fair results for stats and is great armor for new SKs.
