What is the best armor for a 60s level Fury?

<DIV>I was looking at dragonhide, but wasn't sure if there was a good armor to be crafted with nimbus root.</DIV> <DIV>Thanks <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

Root isn't used for armor.<div></div>

We use leather armor though so I wouldn't give up an armor class. My bad though!<div></div>

tbh, the droped leather you can pick up is generally better than any of the rare crafted stuff at a fraction of the cost.<div></div>

I used my Mastercrafted Leather armour until I was lvl 62 or 63 when I could get my hands on some nice treasured and legendary gear. Either that or gtet into a raiding guild and bid on decent armour from there. The Mastercrafted 60-70 leather armour is alright, but I never wasted my time, and went for the good stuff.

If you're on a PvP server, the crafted. It's got way more spread out resists then the SoS and onward crap. <div></div>

It's up to you and what you want to do. But with some dirt cheap crafted jewelry three piece resist sets (ring, earring, necklace) I got all resists but divine over 80 with nothing but my dragonhide and some treasured pieces in other slots. That's pretty nice on raids, and I do notice a difference. And with the wis on dragonhide, it didn't even take my wis down too badly. I ante'd up for a couple of moonstone bracelets to also keep the wisdom and int up, which were pricy also, but for non-dropped, considering I was just starting to raid, it worked out nicely. And I've always made nice with some tradeskillers, so it's just the cost of the materials I've usually had to pay....I admit it is PRICIER if you don't have tradeskiller friends. And I'll admit....I do still prefer the look of dragonhide to the common leather.....even if it IS brown. Bad devs. No cookie.</P> <P>If you don't have the plat or don't harvest your own moonstones, then yes, that might be a little tougher. Personally, I was starting back after quite a long hiatus, so I was out of the loop......I harvested early tier collectibles out of....get this.....BLACKBURROW, and BLOODLINES to fund my spending on this. They sold quite nicely on my server :smileyvery-happy: Weathered gnoll bones for teh win!<BR></P>

Are there any specific pieces treasured / legendary that are better then the dragonhide?<div></div>
