What equipment should I get as a level 400+ RP: Falcon Greaves, Falcon Coif or Gnome Armor?

Question

I’m a 400+ pally and I’m not sure what equipment to upgrade next.

Falcon greaves, falcon coif or gnome armor?

Comments

So you want suggestions between one of those 3 items, or what equipment should you get entirely as a level 400 paladin?

In my experience a Coif goes a long way, since you can imbue it with ML boost. There are quite a few armors that you can use that will offer almost the same as gnome armor stats wise.

Hope that helps.

As you did not mention what set you have so far I will base on following :

Item	Lion Spangenhelm	Ghost Chestplate	Fabulous Legs
Description	(Arm:7, distance fighting +2, protection physical +3%, earth +5%). Imbuements: (Empty Slot, Empty Slot).	(Arm:17, distance fighting +2, protection physical +3%). Imbuements: (Empty Slot, Empty Slot). It can only be wielded properly by paladins of level 230 or higher.

Firstly- the best in slot items for paladin are Falcon Coif & Falcon Greaves. Gnome Armor is second after Soulshell. - Winners Coif & Greaves.

Secondly, After last Update where Damage input analyser has been introduced, it has been confirmed that physical damage significantly higher then previously expected or thought. Since Paladin is mostly used as a “Knight” you need good defensive equipment. Falcon Greaves are the winner. Second I would give to Coif due to not have any minus on elemental damage.

Third. The difference between previous equipment. The most significant is Falcon Greaves where you got extra Arm +1, extra physical protection +3%, and extra distance skill +1. Second is Coif with +3 Arm and then Gnome Armor giving extra +1 Distance Skill and +1% physical skill.

I would actually go with Falcon Greaves, after analysing the prices... :)

Ignored most of the elemental protections on equipment due to not knowing what we hunting most :)
