<DIV><FONT size=2> <P> </P> <P>Wondering, when the Cobalt armor changed I see the stuff for sell today is in some ways a lot nicer than the old stuff I wear now even though the armor has the exact same name.</P> <P>Did the old armor get replaced back when the change was made or did you guys have to upgrade to the new set?</P> <P>Looks like the same thing with the j<FONT size=2>ewelry as well. </FONT></P></FONT> <P>Just curious, Thanks</P> <P> </P> <P>PS does haste stack or is like EQ1 only the highest item is counted.</P></DIV>

Old armour stayed the same, but every piece of new colbat armour that came out after the change had the new stats.If I recall correctly, the old armour had better mit but some funked out stats like INT on it (useful for a sk maybe) where the new ones just give the basic str/sta/agi and a little less mitigation.<div></div>

well at least the price of the ore is not too bad. are the graphics the same on it? I notice that the graphics on on the new armor on the venders is different was wondering if it looked different when worn as well.

We used STR for power + melee dmg like every other plate tank and INT for better spell dmg. So the old armour was nice for the SK. Today, we see two versions of the armour. Personally, I think the cobalt shoulder pieces with INT look gimpy. I wanted to have those nice big shoulder pieces. The old graphics are now seen on the vanguard version of the armour. The shoulders on the "INT set" look like chain, heh. But then again... there is always the freedom of combination.</P></FONT>
