Militia Captain Tunic  

 

I remember some twink with a bunch of pp yelling he wants to buy a chest piece with 25 + ac on it and he was paying high pp. Well luckily i had bought this for 20pp or so off a merchant and had it on one of my chars and i told him id sell it he said he would offer 850pp for it. I crapped my pants. This was in 2002 i had just started. But unfortunately i spent it all on ringmail armor that merchants in the noob zone sold for about 50pp a piece. I bought a full set and later realised i had made a horrible mistake. I tried to sell it back to him and he said he would offer like 2pp a piece. I crapped my pants.
Long story short, i crapped my pants twice and lost 850 pp. Oh and this piece sucks imo.

why reduce dex? dex means more hits, more crits, more procs, hence more dps wich is the essence of every battle.. if rangers get aggro and can't manage their aggro they die.. the clue is to have a good tank that can taunt the aggro off the rangers and rogues so they can do their insane damage. Neg dex is always bad..there is never anything good with it.

Dex actually is pretty important for different reasons. For casters, the more dex you have, the less chance you have of getting interupted while casting. For melee types, it helps to raise your weapon skills faster and gives you a better chance of landing blows. For rangers, dex increases your chances of getting a hit with a bow and also increases your chance of getting a crit shot. This chest piece might be ok at lower lvls, but once you get higher you would probably want to invest in something like a tree weave or a frogloc scale tunic. This tunic is pretty much crap for rangers. Unless of course you don't plan on using a bow or casting that much, and you want to give another reason for people to think rangers suck. There are other high ac tunics that rangers can use that doesn't hurt your dex like this does. Treeweave is 20 ac and str+10, and you can get one for less than 1k. Rangers don't really suck, it's the people that play those weak rangers that suck. I'm not twinked, and I'm not really a high lvl (lvl 42) but with my equipment I easily own any warrior my lvl in duels.

I recieved one of these a few days ago, and since noone else wanted it, I got it. I had some serious reservations about using this, so I kept my Bloodstained Tunic with me for a few days after putting this on, just in case I decided I didn't want to wear the Militia tunic. So far, I have had no problems wearing it, it has twice as much AC as the BS, and shamans can always buff their dex. With a +50 dex buff, I walk around with only 97 dex, but imho, this hasn't hurt me at all.

Kael Militia Captain drop this he con blue to 51
