Reducing the ar on leather isnt fair! Have you seen the goblin guild? wearing leather only is part of their rp!

Also increasing the medit on leather would allow it to be more popular.. i always use leather, barbed to be more especific and i always hunt with it since it owns! also i never medit while hunting... i would if i were starting for example.. but once you have the money to buy / make mana pots you dont wanna know about meditating anymore...

So leather armor should be superior to plate in every way? As has been mentioned in this thread, leather armor with 50 AR is only 20k on some vendors. That's extremely cheap compared to plate armor with that level of AR.

There are clearly ways to give everyone what they want. Make specific types of leather better for AR or provide less AR but meditation bonus. At the same time, if my guild RPs naked, should I get the full benefit or armor while being naked? That's a tongue in cheek example, but even so, you get the point. We will see what the armor changes are tonight as Taran mentioned.
