Araines Valor?

[aaa]

level 16 monk on single player. cats

I'm going to have to assume you 'restarted' at some point, as single has limited monsters, and you should be almost done with the Caves at clvl 16

But do you think that it's too good to be on level 5? I kinda do.

At the point in the game that it drops, it is VERY good, but depending on character/playstyle it becomes obsolete fairly quickly.

For Warriors/Bards/Barbarians it has great AC (for when it become available) and useful "melee" bonuses.

For Rogues/Sorcerers it's still a nice piece of armor, but it doesn't add anything to ranged combat

It's probably the best armor a Monk can get for quite awhile, as it's treated as "light" armor, so you get the full 2*clvl AC bonus (instead of the "medium" clvl/2 AC bonus)

Although if you really are at level 16 then something better should be dropping soon (unless you ARE still in the Cats)
