Warrior Charr Hide armor

Description
This is a set of armor for Warriors.

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 Ascalon Armor will only provide -2 damage absorption, NOT -10. 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.

Ascalon armor used to be AL 80 (+10 vs physical), but was changed to AL 80 (+20 vs physical) by the Apr 26, 2006 update.

Customization
Droknar's Forge, 15k, or Fissure Ascalon Boots is common for most warriors. With a Rune of Superior Absorption this provides the maximum armor-based damage absorption (-5) possible for the character. A shield can also add additional situational absorption.
