 The wiki suggests that the Warden Commander Armor is a popular choice, but having just gotten it I don't see how thats possible, as it requires you be a rogue or warrior.

The best ones I have found are Wades superior Dragonskin Armor (the lighter one reduces fatigue by like 25%) or the Reapers vestment (big Cost of about 120 sovereigns) but no fatigue and you can still get good bonuses from other gloves/boots, however it all depends on exactly how you play.



however IMHO the Wades set is the better bet as it gives the following bonuses.

+70% fire resistance

+2/+4 stamina/mana regeneration in combat

+25 stamina

Set: -25% fatigue

Set: +5 defense

I think you must be confused as the Warden Commander Armour is only restricted by the STR, not the class of the user.

The OP has the Ultimate edition, which apparently has Warrior/Rogue restirctions in place on many items with +Stamina or +Stamina regen that the normal version does not. He's not the first person I've seen mention it.

That's odd, because I have the Ultimate Edition, and my mage wears the Warden Commander Armor set. Even though (even as an Arcane Warrior) I feel like it just looks too hefty for a mage. I prefer wearing Medium Armors for this reason.

In Awakenings, I used Sentinel Armor, before that I was using Cailen's Armor.

Is there a good armor for Arcane Warriors that doesn't require DLC, killing the high dragon, or spending a lot of gold?

Juggernaut Armor  you get out of Elven Ruins, in the Brocelien Forest(Werewolves area)

Due to it's low fatigue, any medium chain armor is a good, solid choice for an Arcane Warrior. The elven chain armor especially, but I think that is still bugged. No enhancements aside from the fatigue reduction, but that can be made up with weapons, self-buffs and jewelery.

Most arcane warriors don't have to worry too much about fatigue, since most just use their mana pool to keep sustainables.

appreciated, I'm trying wades's superior heavy dragonscale out, but seem to be having some obnoxious bug with the set bonus disappearing.

I think the warrior/rogue restriction on the Warden Commander's Armour is imposed by the Improved Atmosphere mod. I'm not sure if that can be "modded out".

The restriction will be fixed in the next Improved Atmosphere mod (1.4, currently only 1.3 is available).

Apparently, the solution is the "requirement removal wand" from this mod:

I am going to try it out and see if it works.

Seems to work fine. My AW can now wear the Warden Commander's Armour. Apparently though, there's still the bug where the WCA is limited to Tier 4. Again, there's a wand in the above mod to handle that. :)

If you want to stick to the idea of being a "true" Arcane Warrior as the elves of Arlathan were, you can try the Ancient Elven Armor. Good armor bonus for a combat mage, as well as defense.

With All DLC Completed, i acctually suggest sticking with Cailens Armor. With the right skills, and choice on equipment, you can get a high dodge rating, basically making you almost untouchable, and with health regen, your going to be standing there singing 'Cant Touch me'

Thats my opinion.

I'm dying to get Cailens set for boost mana regeneration so i can finally have haste on top of every other sustainable, but fear patching up version so i can install Return to Ostagar DLC,
since Shimmering shield can then switch off in the most inappropriate moment

I'm surprised none mentioned the best armor there is for Arcane Warrior:
Ignacio's Dagger
+15 defense
+12 armor
+5 damage
+2.5 armor penetration
+15 critical/backstab
while simultaniously nearly double the hit rate with those flaming DW weapons :wizard:
the other weapon would be Spellweaver or Starfang

If someone knows a fail-safe way to make those 2 rune slots appear at will, --> Let me know please

Since you have the ability to install mods, there's a beautiful set on the Nexus called "The Ivory Tower" that my Surana always wears.  It is designed specifically for AW's.

I used to have that Wand mod too.  It conflicted badly with another mod (I believe IA) and created invisible walls all over my games, making some parts impossible to pass through/play.  After wiping all my corrupted saves, reinstalling the game, carefully checking each and every mod for the culprit, I now am able to play but even now, some areas (like in the slavers' hideout in the Alienage) have invisible walls in some parts, though thankfully I am able to bypass those.

I like that ivory tower dress, it looks like the elves Lotr fighting in helms deep,
but when push comes to shove, i prefer blood armor, gloves of diligence, warden commander boots,
and last but not least Ignacio's dagger + spellweaver.

On the tier, if you are lv 18 you should get dragonbone by default,
else you can sell it to michael dryden, leave the place, come back and buy it from him, now upgraded
