	So I'm running a barbie past life right now and I see a lot of barbs wearing robes vice armor. Why are they doing that? Don't you lose a significant amount of AC and PRR over medium armor?

	Possibly cosmetic, but, Barbarians have no AC boosts in their trees.� Further, rage, and some enhancements (like Wade In) reduce AC.� The only way to get an AC that matters is to have access to SD tree, monk wisdom/stance, Wizard EK Mage Armor, etc.� �None of which works well for a Barb build.� So, AC is garbage on a Barbarian, unless it is multiclassed into fighter.� Better off building in as much dodge, Ghostly, Blurry, Displacement as you can. PRR will take a hit, but given that even a cloth wearer can easily get over 100 PRR, what are we talking about?� 4-5% damage reduction?� Yeah, it's something, but the goal is really to not get hit.� I don't play Barbs, typically, but I can see why the current meta suggests cloth is just as viable as medium armor.�

	play 1 life with no armor, recognize that you noticed no difference from that life from the previous, and then pick a random item for that slot with properties you otherwise lack for future lives

	The level 10 giantcraft stuff is good for barbs or melees in heroic levels because of the damage boosts.

	Grab life by the pussy.

Been a while for me, but I seem to recall DDO barbs are not restricted to medium armor - they can wear full plate. Not that it will do them any good, of course.

	With the last adjustment to Greater Rage, Medium armor is the best for barbs. PRR just under what you get from heavy and a decent amount of dodge bonus.

	Definitely cosmetic, you've got to be wearing medium armor for the 10MP from Greater Rage.
