At level 30, I'm wearing pristine imbued engraved tunic, shoulder pads, and leggings (for a nice overall brown-woodsy look), with a couple pieces of AQ gear thrown in, and lots of stat-modifying jewelry. My cap's still chain (stained crimson cap from RoV). I've noticed that it's hard to find good INT stuff that doesn't force you to sacrifice either STR or AGI (or both!). But I'm working on it.
Good mitigation on my engraved leather stuff (better than the chain I was wearing), and it makes me look different than 90 percent of the other chain-wearing classes out there.
