Warrior Charr Hide armor

Description
This is a set of armor for Warriors.

While Ascalon Armor provides a reduced AL bonus against physical damage than base warrior armor, it also provide damage absorption in the same manner as Warrior Runes of Absorption. Pre-Droknar's Ascalon armor provides -1 damage absorption, while Droknar's Forge Armor, 15k Armor, and Fissure Armor provide -2 damage absorption.

Just like Warrior Runes of Absorption, the damage absorption from Ascalon Armor is universal (independent of the hit location) and does NOT stack. This means, for example, wearing a complete set of Pre-Droknar's Ascalon Armor will only provide -1 damage absorption, NOT -5. As a result, it is common to only wear a single piece of Ascalon Armor (usually boots to allow for gauntlet switching) as the damage absorption will reduce damage regardless of hit location.

As a bit of trivia, the armor is made from charr hides and bones.

Ascalon armor (Cuirass, Boots, Gauntlets and Leggings) purchased in Droknar's Forge is identical in stats to Knight's Armor.

Customization
Droknar's Forge, 15k, or Fissure Ascalon Boots with a Rune of Superior Absorption is common for most warriors. This provides the maximum (universal) armor-based damage absorption (-5) possible for the character. A shield could add additional damage absorbtion, however, damage absorbed by a shield is location-specific.
