Hi guys!
I have a lvl 80 Barbarian and i made some research, which i armor i should use for my barb from lvl 80 - 90. Now i have to decide between 2 armors, because i think they are the best (except TT80 gold. I wont take that one, because its too expensive).

The Rank 4 Armor: Much + HP, lower defense

The TT80 Tiger's Roar Armor: No + HP, higher defense

Please help me. Tell me which Armor is better for a PURE Barbarian TANK from lvl 80 - lvl 90.

Thanks b:thanks

    Isn't it obvious?

    OK let's explain the Grades of Armour to you since you must not understand them....
    Higher the Grade the less easily damaged it gets... So a grade 7 vs a grade 10 is like a difference in 100k for repairs... You'll be selling everything just repairing the grade 7 sure the stats look similar but the grade makes it so obvious.

    I went with TT80 gold top and everything else TT80 green.

    Top cost me about 6mil to make. Too bad I started collecting the mats from lvl75. If I had waited and saved up the coin, I would have been able to make that top today for roughly 4mil (TT prices dropping like crazy on HT).

    I don't know about grades being damaged easily. I always thought higher grade meant higher repair costs per unit damaged, but in any case, between the options you suggest I agree with going with TT80 over the rank plate.

    But if you're looking to save money for TT90, try the 79 mold (Proud Plate of Corsaire). Its dirt cheap and almost as good as TT80 green.
    When the going gets tough; Get a tank!

    I think best would be a nice 3 star Jin Stronghold Plate (lvl 80 heavy armor). Cheap + nice stats. The only good addition at TT80 armor is the +1% damage reduction and the additions of the lvl 79 legendary armor are useless for a barb.
