There should be a male equivalent for the charming corset.

[Arthur Morrigan]

If this kitschy thing is going to be the best piece of armor in the game, they could at least make a male equivalent for it.

i'd argue you aren't getting hit with phyiscal attacks with those 3 classes soo i dont agree that the corset is the best in the game.

what are you looking at?
if you look here:
https://dragonsdogma2.wiki.fextralife.com/Body+Armor

you can see the actual base stats and nothing is near the corset for def/mag def.


you keep referring to "best mag def for X vocation" but i'm talking about the actual armor pieces, unless you're minmaxing slash/strike/knockdown res/specific element/debilitate resist, corset is the highest armor / mag def

i am min maxing because thats what makes the best armor.
base stats combine leg and body, i tried the corset you can't equip leg armor and there are no debilitation or even the best knockdown.
the best armor for warfarer is probably Vanguarder's Greaves + Dominator's Armor. it has the most knockdown res, most debilitaitons, most everything but magic. for warfarer if you wanna defend against magic i suggest magik bubble as a skill.
for mage/sorc/trickster you want pure magic defence + decent debilitation defense you should have the aug that mitigates agro but you can still take shot by aoes/debils.
and for the other vocations (which almost shouldn't exist due to warfarer) there are better minmaxing "best" armors.

Yes but it takes both the torso AND the leg slot. So it's essentially half the value.

For armors that can be equipped by Mage - Trickster - Sorcerer
The best is Ares Morpho Robe and Runic Gaiters.

Total stats for those two is:
205 P-Def | 2 Slash-Def | 2 Strike-Def | 272 M-Def | 28 KD-Resist | 25% points of total Debilitation Resist

300 P-Def | 5 Slash-Def | 0 Strike-Def | 280 M-Def | 60 KD-Resist | 15% points of total Debilitation Resist
Charming Corset has the stats above.



For mage only, its Sacral Robe with Scholar's Breeches.
242 P-Def | 0 Slash-Def | 0 Strike-Def | 291 M-Def | 50 KD-Resist | 49% points of total Debilitation Resist

There is one for sorc and trickster too. but for the best 'balanced' build, this is the best.

As ID has said, max the phy def and just use a skill. or you can build a debilitation build.
Of course, with warfarer, you can build better balanced build but with pawns, that option is taken away, and if you're not using warfarer for them maister skill.

There's also the fact that it's a set, so its nice to look at, there's coordination. tried building the best armor for me and quite frankly, it looks hideous, and I can't really use the corset as my arisen is a male (might as well use the hideous looking set). Here's hoping to transmog + dye system for armors. Also better plate armors.

tbh given up on having the best armor for my arisen, as it can be compensated by git gud.

now read the wall of text

edit: added " x% 'points' of to...."

such laziness by devs.

That's not laziness, those ideas just suck.

Stop arguing whether the corset is *literally* the best armor in the game or only *maybe* the best armor in the game. I swear to god who gives a ♥♥♥♥.

yes, by a lot

Pretty sure its NOT the best armor because its an all in one set, which is why its stats are higher then single chest armors.

When you compare it to an end game full set, its actually not better.

they did. It's called the charming corset.

This. lul

Otherwise, the fact is, "male" clothing is pretty gender neutral, most of the time. A woman in a fancy suit, or full plate armor, is just as acceptable as a man. A man in a dress is fine if you're into that, but obviously seen as kind of weird. Just pick a different set of endgame gear and there's your answer, even if they don't have exactly equal stats, they're similar enough.

There was actually a couple dresses and some boob plate in the original Dragon's Dogma/Dark Arisen, and there was a misandrist group of female bandits that wouldn't attack you if your party was all female or all of the men in your party were wearing feminine clothes/armor of some kind. Would be funny to bring that back and make the Charming Corset acceptable attire.

you're the one claiming its the best and your hands are tied to use it 'for its the best. clearly this is nonsense and the only reason to use corset is if you have nothing better or want to meme it up.

[Boombastic]

Use it and transmog it. Problem solved
Besides, the mesh mod is already there so mesh models are already popping up

Capcom is a big supporter for LGBTQ stuff, so I am not surprised.

It is definitely better than anything else you can get before Post-Game.

Their support is so tepid it's bordering on nonexistent.

if they are they are subtle about it

[Sir.Beast]

maybe a cool dragnoic chestplate or or a chain collar with great stats so shirtless could be more a think becouse show of more body tats is not a bad thing which such a good charactor customization
