I use this armor as fillers right now, I have a lot of str gear on... I messed up at character creation... But str is nice, but you get more mana for higher int. Plus it looks cool. More mana = more fears, dots, and lifetaps! That means you will live longer. Plus the ac isn't bad at all. I am going to farm a set when I hit 50 just to have it to walk around in hehehe. Having near 200 int would be nice.
Look around you.. how many Erudite INT-gods do you see that choose to be Shadow Knights? How many Trolls? Ogres? Humans? True, there are many Dark Elves (who have lots of INT), but personally I think Dark Elves are overrated, we Ogres (with default STR of 142) SHOULD get some INT.. and if you say you don't use mana, you're not an SK. I fear, darkness, DoT, and Tap, it works wonders in soloing.
Yeah, it is nice for Ogres, who have lower int. Bought these for 200pp in the Bazaar. A nice red rusty look. Much better looking than those ugly bright red dyed looks. Get the sentient arms to match and with some black bp, wrist, hand, and boot items you have a very menacing looking SK.

lol, your nuts. if someone whould sell them to a vendor they need go go find some Int loot that they can use bcause they are not to bright. ihave and Erudite (sp?) sk. hes got poor str for a melee as well has other poor melee stats to start but i whould take the 9Int as quickly as i whould take them if they were 9str. and hes got over 100Int to start.(been awile since i played him so cant remember just how much, but it means lots of mana :-) ) a little off the subject my ranger can solo pretty well, not as well as a druid or necro, but last i knew sk are the best soloers as far as melee classes go. With more mana for DoT to weaken mobs and liftaps to save your **** they only get better. sell them to a vendor, LOL. Aween and Hatfull, god-like Ranger and Shadowknight
