MODERATORS
I disagree and I think defender weapons is the better way to go. I felt like armor was crutch anyway (to a point) in that if I'm getting hit I'm making the mistake and I should try and learn the attack pattern better. However, the weapon being good against everything was nice because it let me succeed and win faster. Lotta those monster fights are so long so the OP weapon felt great to me.
Edit: this sounds a little "git gud". Do what you want to enjoy the game but I liked the challenge of being hot and brought low in few hits.
Regardless, the best armor is the one you look most stylish in.
PS: does anyone know if there is a mod or something to get both types of armor regardless of the sex of your character model? Hated some of the female armor sets but others were awesome. Frustrating they were locked.
It definitely is, but I think it's a good one for the tutorial stretch while people are learning how their character and the monsters move, and since it's a flat boost it becomes less and less impactful as the story goes on, giving a smoother learning curve for new players. By the time someone gets into the meat of high rank if they're not moving right they're going to get fucked up even in defender gear, but at the same time in high rank they get to branch out and do basic buildcrafting with armor skills so there's an active incentive not to use it then as well.
