Howdy,
my plan was to develop my DK as a tank, and have the hero as a archer/mage type. But I've just noticed that the DK's armor slots are pretty lacking. My concern is that without being able to equip the better equipment I'm likely going to get later in the game, the DK will be at a strong disadvantage armor-wise, compared to what I'd be able to equip the hero with.
Right now, I'm only partway into Act 1, with level 4 chars, but even with just the minimal equipment I've found so far, my hero has almost the same armor rating as the DK, who at least *looks* like he's wearing heavy armor! Does that armor not count for anything?
I haven't gone that far yet, really, to consider restarting - Am I better off switching it around and making a hero be the tank, and using the DK as archer and/or mage?
