Miy's armor buffs list

[Griddo]

I did a breakdown of the new Miy's armors arranged by slot to compare the different buffs they offer. I thought maybe someone else might like to see it too:

All Miy's armors give AC (of course) and HP.

Boots:

melee=str, duck, run
nano=str, SensImp, dodge
scary=str, sta, duck, run, snare resist
range=str, range energy, duck
tank=str, sta, riposte, parry, duck, root resist

Gloves:

melee=agi, sen, piercing, bow, evade
nano=sen, MatCrea, evade
scary=sen, evade, concealment
range=agi, sen, shotgun, evade
tank=sen, 2h edge, evade

Helmet:

melee=int, ncu, calm resist
nano=int, psy, BioMet, ncu
scary=int, ncu, crit decrease
range=int, assault rifle, ncu
tank=int, ncu, calm resist

Legs:

melee=agi, sen, Martial Arts, ncu
nano=agi, PsyMod, ncu
scary=agi, sen, ncu, root resist
range=agi, rifle, ncu
tank=agi, grenade, heavy wpn, ncu

Sleeve:

melee=psy, 1h edge, 1h blunt, dodge
nano=int, psy, MatMet, dodge
scary=int, psy, perception, dodge
range=psy, pistol, smg, dodge
tank=psy, melee energy, dodge

Body:

melee=sta, melee init, phys init, ncu, max nano
nano=sta, SpaceTime, nano init, ncu, max nano, -nano cost
scary=sta, ncu, max nano, calm resist
range=str, sta, bow, range init, ncu, max nano
tank=str, sta, 2h blunt, ncu, max nano, -nano cost


Notes: in some cases you may want to mix the armor types rather than having all pieces from the range set, for example. Agents, for instance may want range legs for the rifle buff and scary gloves for the concealment. Also, only the nano set has buffs to nano skills.

Likely set for my 1he adventurer would be: melee body, scary legs, melee sleeves, nano helmet, melee gloves, nano boots.

bump for a good post

Why thank you

[Neista]

Nice work, thanks for the info!

[Sawbones2]

Nice post. Thank you.

What is everyone's view on how useful this armor is?

Did some quick comparing to (Storm) Carb and Apocalypse as other typical froob armors and was not impressed with Miya's.

My initial read is that it's more useful as buffing armor then for everyday action.

Your thoughts?

[Rewo]

For most, its more useful for buffing armor.

That, to me and probably most others, is much much more important and useful than for everyday use.

Aofroobs.com has a pretty good thread on the Miy's armor:

Miy's Armor Hunting: Share your notes!

It has the above information along with some good hunting spots, and some various comments on it.

I had actually read that thread before I made this one. I made my list because I wanted it arranged by slot to better choose which type I want in each slot.

Sawbones2 brought up comparisons to other armors, so here's a few using the equip configurator from AOMainframe:

Miy's Tank Armor Set
Miy's Melee Armor Set
Miy's Ranged Armor Set
Miy's Scary Armor Set
Miy's Nano Armor Set
Azure Set (Did someone say )
CAS Symbiotic
OT Steel-Ribbed for non-Clan
Apocalypse Leather for non-Omni
Omni Carbonum for Omni only
Clan Carbonum for Clan only

Don't forget you can mix the Miy's for different buffs, especially if you're going to use it for combat. Notice the Scary has concealment, but not Rifle.

Sample mixed Miy's armor for agent :: since the buffs are not spread out among the set, but rather in 1 or 2 pieces, we can mix them and get the full rifle and concealment buffs that Miy's offers.

On that note, you could use just the Miy's pieces you want to mix with another set:

OT Steel Ribbed with Miy's Scary Gloves and Miy's Ranged Legs improves the OT Steel Ribbed set niceley.

I wouldn't add anthing from Miy's to Gloomfall, however, except Miy's Ranged legs temporarily if I needed 5 more rifle skill to equip something, or some Miy's Nano pieces to cast a buff I can't do otherwise.

Just throwing out some ideas there.

For most its prolly twinking armor but for some its essential armor..I think it will be great for everyday use in terms of pet proffs like MP's and Engies

just my 2 cents.

For lowbie nano armor hit up the savage medusas (the naked ones) in DAV they range from lvl 60-90 and drop the nano armor in that range accordingly. Droprate is better in mishes as it may be 5 mishes b4 u actually roll the right types of mobs

[Berael]

The usefulness of any armor should be based according to your needs, what you have access to, and what you can afford to get.

My expansion Doc just upgraded to the Nano chest armor from the elysian protector's cuiras because the nano add on the Miy's far outweighed the extra 1% nano cost reduction. At this point and his level, its really the best choice for what he needs to be a good doc.

My expansion NT just upgraded to the nano chest and nano gloves from exterminator unit armor because it gives nano, nano ini, and cost reduction and a higher amount of MC skill on the gloves. I'm not willing to spend the added cost to get notum saturated metaplast or even low level arithmetic to up his skills, so the miy's armor is a very big boon.

Thanks for the info, Griddo.
I'd started a similar data gathering exercise myself in a spreadheet, but it got ugly. I'd tried to put ql and bonus info in too.

I like the armout for poor toons. It also looks good (which is a strong selection point for me).

Yes Bump for a new fr00b armor that is both very practicle and stylish. I always thought Nano/Barter armor was sexy this is sweet and the miys nano armor matches my lvl 60 mps nano robe from steps quite nicely.
