Armor choice

Another vote for vipermagi. The FCR is also a big plus.

Resistances won me over. It's what my hammerdin is gonna wear when he level 29.

well even though u said pick between que hagens and vipermagi, i would say vipermagi but there is another armor that is better and cheap which is the unique exceptional plate mail armor, not sure name but like templar something or i dunno but gives +1 pala and gives block stuff and +15 max res so u can get 90 res because i used that armor on my pala before i got enigma and it is good

yup i agree, go for templars might, not overly expensive but like sick def and good adds, so i say go for templars man, forget the viper and que

U THE FUCKING GUARDIAN ANGEL 1all pally skills, MAX res, use WIZARDSPIKE for fuckin RES and shit... DONT USE MAGI or QUE...GA pwn's them foir a pally UGH

Okay, I will use the Viper from lvl 29 to 45 and then switch to Guardian Angel.

After 2 years of playing nothing but zons this will be interesting.

I would certainly not use Guardian Angel.

Guardian Angel:
Defense: 770-825 (varies)(Base Defense: 252-274)
Required Level: 45
Required Strength: 118
Durability: 60
+180-200% Enhanced Defense(varies)
+20% Increased Chance Of Blocking
+30% Faster Block Rate
+1 To Paladin Skill Levels
15% To Maximum Poison Resist
15% To Maximum Cold Resist
15% To Maximum Lightning Resist
15% To Maximum Fire Resist

Skin of the Vipermagi
Defense: 279 (Base Defense: 111-126)
Required Level: 29
Required Strength: 43
Durability: 24
+120% Enhanced Defense
+1 To All Skills
30% Faster Cast Rate
Magic Damage Reduced By 9-13 (varies)
All Resistances +20-35

Sure, the Guardian has +15 to max resists, but it doesn't actually have any resists. It has lots more armor, but it's been said that resists are more important than armor in 1.10.

Do take note than an upgraded Vipermagi has ~800 defense. I'm sure an upgraded Guardian has a lot more than that, but, other than blocking, that's about all it has going for it.

Vipermagi has +1 skills, just as Guardian does, but it also has resists, faster cast, and magic damage reduction. Just my opinion though....
