So, I:m dusting off DA:O and playing and arcane warrior build.  I've made him a caster type, but having a hard time deciding on armor.  I'm wondering if I should stick with mage stuff like the reaper's robes or maybe move onto something medium or massive.  I don't want to have massive fatigue, since I'm a caster.  Any gear ideas for this type of caster AW?

It also might be fun to make a melee type AW that uses light or mage armors and then goes into combat, but I'm not sure that would be very viable ude to the squishiness factor.  If anyone has had luck with this, let me know.

The cliche trick with an AW is to try to get a load of mana regeneration gear. This is to maintain Shimmering Shield indefinitely. That simple spell, with a couple of buffs, is key to making you pretty damn indestrustable and you can wade in swinging your sword without worry. And even as a caster you may want to do away with Shimmering Shield and instead want a massive mana pool for slinging spells and have more buffs than a shoeshine boy. Either way, mana regen equipment is the ******.

With that in mind, Evon the Great's Mail provides you with 1 mana regen per second. Team it up with Duncan's sword (2 pts per sec), Andruil's Blessing (2 pts per sec), and Wade's Superior Dragonscale Gloves and Boots (1 pt per sec combined) and you're off to a pretty damn powerful start.

As for melee AW, check out his mods. They add some warrior abilities to the AW spec to lighten up the dull auto attack AW.

You can actualy make a incredibly strong arcane warrior and never touch any armor abouve medium.

Theres alot of +defense or +spellpower etc cloth armors.

Just because your a AW that dosnt automaticaly mean you need to equip a sword and shield and the heaviest armor you can find.

Well, you could always do what I do for my Arcane Warriors. Evon the great's armor and wade's superior dragonscale armor. The set bonus brings it down 20% on fatigue and every piece of it restores mana. I can't imagine running anything else.

You can also equip Wade's Superior Dragonskin set.

Regular Dragonscale set
21.26 armor
23.405% fatigue
-20% fatigue set bonus

Dragonskin set
15.01 armor
12.68% fatigue
-25% fatigue set bonus

The other stats (including mana regeneration) are the same. If I'm going caster, the -12.32% fatigue when equipping Dragonskin is rather appealing.

I like to equip the Cultist armor set since it gives a decent attack bonus to help the Warden to not miss with melee swings, that and the armor set looks cool.

I'd choose for armour that has mana regeneration, wade's superior armour, evon the great's mail, spellweaver, fade wall, adruil's blessing.. etc
I myself have about +12 mana regeneration which means my mana regenerates very quickly whenever I cast a spell, well worth the fatigue me thinks.

The mana regeneration of Evon the Great's Mail + Wade's Superior Dragonscale is the exact same as a Dragonskin set, only you lose the +25 stamina/mana and +50% fire restance bonuses.

Evon the Great's Mail adds:
+1/+2 hitpoint regeneration in combat
+6 armor
+10% chance to dodge attacks
+10 defense against missiles
