What to buy for legion

[LumpyMilk]

My inf is lvl 48 now, and i plan on going legion.  I was just wondering, what some cheap gear i could get would be?  I hear VHTA is good for legion, because it can be used as melee and ranged.  But what are your guys opinions on what to buy first for legion? (man i wish legion could buy defender shield... the gap between SKS and the other shields is to much )

Thanks in advance!

I think you might get better advice if you'd say what is your current gear.

If I was you, the first thing id go for is vhta. They are arguably better in melee mode than most of the craftable legionaire locked weapons... 103 speed and 55 cut is awesome on a item you can also throw

As legionaire you may find your self shielding so a good shield should defo be a priority. I suggest royal if the jump to swadian studded kite shield/dragon kite/resilance is too much.  Royals used to be the best in game so they are still very good for their relatively low  value compared to the crafting cost. 1.8m I think

As for helm id say thats your own personal preference (swadian helm is a tad too boring imo).

And for gauntlets id say go straight for defender.. there is alot around and they are amazing for the price

Hope this helped

First good legio set= swadian heavy lamellar/striped - trans/heraldic/halfplate
                              opentrooper/grinder                - pigfaced/hornskull/visored salet
                              hourglass gauntlets                  - defender gauntlets/studded
                              mail/plated boots                    - defender/swadian boots
                              royal shield                            - steelstudded shield/resilience
                              Splitter                                  -illustrious /ragnars wrath

This is my suggestion for legio gear progression. It may be vanity but im a pretty good legio.
Always remember that skill and sensible decision making in  battle will save you more then the gear (even if it helps alot)
