spear clas best armor

[Mastan]

so ive played a ton of 7d2d and now with the new armor sets what would you all say is the best armor for a spear type class

You're talking about perception.

Basically the only thing you really need is the preacher gloves and commando boots. 60% damage to zombies and 20% movement speed and then you just backpedal while you stab them. Biker armor is melee based but I wouldn't advise using it as the bonuses only apply to melee and just aren't that helpful by comparison.

The only perception gun is the rifles and the pipe rifle and hunting rifle are just not great weapons. They are slow, need to reload after every shot, and generally the perks only get good once you have a lever action or better which is midgame.

I'd recommend invested a point or two into machine guns and using the pipe machine gun/AK until you can find a lever action to use.

Perception also has explosives and I'd highly recommend pipe bombs. They are insanely cheap and make short work of horde night as long as you can get the atomic junkies candy to use which isn't too hard to do.

I would say the preacher set. It's light armour so you keep your speed/mobility for the range of the spear. The gloves with the 60% increased damage to zombies will effect everything including spears. You receive less damage should you get hit, reduce chances of critical injuries. Discount on purchasing items as a cherry on top.

If you don't care about set bonuses. Preacher gloves is mandatory. Athletic shoes, Preacher Outfit, Rogue hood. For a all light armour set.
