Is there a specific armor each class benefits from more or is it just whatever your character happens to find and has the prerequisites for? Maybe it's just me, I'm so used to certain classes bound to specific armor types from other games I've played.. I'm assuming any class be it rogue or mage etc can use cloth,leather,mail,metal armor.(providing they meet the armor stat requirements if any) as I was able to equip cloth,leather and mail on my rogue. I didn't have the str requirements for metal at the time but I'm guessing I could have equipped that as well. What is the benefit of going with metal over cloth or leather etc?
I have a rogue and a ranger. As far as I've been playing I have tried to equip leather gear on each from what I assumed was their "class armor" type. Should I just be equipping them with whatever gear provides the best stats at the time and just ignore the base material it's made of? What role does the armor's material play aside from looks? Will equipping metal armor on my rogue affect ability to sneak or stealth? I did notice the different weights on armor types but it's not THAT huge of a difference really.
I wish there was some written list somewhere explaining what armor type is "best suited for (insert class here). I guess It just feels weird to equip whatever drops along the way and end up with a hodge podge of cloth,leather,mail or plate pieces on one character.
