Bone Armor

is this type of Armor Light Leather or Light Cloth?
i recently see a lot of people running in bone Armor what has leather patterns on it.
for those who PvP a lot, is this balanced or OP?

 

I may be wrong, but I don't see a difference between leather (of any type) and cloth. they both fall into the Light Armour category, and as such can benefit from the skills in the light armour tree. Bone is also in the light category.

Thanks to an awesome crafter, I am running with bronze bone chest, helm and boots, and hardened augmented leather gloves and leggings. The enchantments and masterworkings make them pretty cool.

Helps me combat mobs pretty well, although I still suck at PVP

 

For me, I use a heavy chest but considered bone for the appendages. I simply didn't like the higher fizzle chance from bone (e.g. leather compared to cloth). I think it might be a good option for archers.

 

Bone counts as leather. If you masterwork it, the available stat bonus is dexterity, whereas for cloth it is intelligence. Iirc, all the other bonuses are the same, but not 100% sure on that.

 

It is leather, and can have patterns (and masterworks) applied to it that are leather-based. (I verified this before buying the Rotted Armor last Halloween!)

 

I love it personally - I don't have the legs or gloves as the only pieces to craft this are waaaaaay too much on vendors. Been using it on ranged build but about to try it with dual necro daggers.
