So I've found a few epics, notably helms that have the Enchanted Harness, which looks like a great item on appearance, basically a 50% armor 2 that boosts other armors. However I used rely on reliable mail (pun intended !), which doesn't help much. Any specific sets of heavy armor I should out for? I was thinking something with Grounding Plate/Thickened Mail?
Ozone Plates, is the one I'm using. And yes, it might not be that easy to get I admit. Also, unless you were aware - the harness actually boosts it's own armor rolls. It might not be obvious considering you said "other" armour in your original post.
How easy is it to stack Harnesses? I mean, with only being able to keep 2 cards/round, I imagine its unreliable unless you have a lot of them in a deck? And maybe I'll test it with Stormward Pauldrons. Seems like they would pair nicely?
Yeah, that one would work well, I'm running my chestpiece with Lt. Buckwell's Strapping. So no Enchanted Harness for me yet, just the regular kinds. If you have more than 1 harness, they seem to be pretty reliable to draw - you don't really need more than 1 on hand. Also, if you can find any armor with Enchanted Mail that could be pretty awesome.
I have a card with Enchanted Armor... on Deathcurse Mail... which comes with Superstitious, basically the worst card in the game. So, yeah, it's pretty useless.
What you could do, is get lots of Crafted Mail, for some of that sweet synergy. I just got Angel's Strapping, which seems a really good place to start.
I don't think Superstitious is so bad in PvP. In the campaign, you basically can't use it because stuff dies on pretty much every turn, but in PvPit isn't really like that - and I'd generally be happy to kill an enemy character even if it means sacrificing the last few cards in my warrior's hand. On a warrior in PvP, I'd rather have Superstitious in my deck than, say, Cowardly. That said though, I still think Deathcurse Mail compares poorly to other armours. If I had Enchanted Harness on my helmet, I'd definitely pair it with Stormward Pauldrons. I've actually been looking forward to trying that combo for a long time now, but I've never seen any item with Enchanted Harness. (Except for Spiked Strapping, which doesn't really count because it can't be combined other armours in a useful way.)
I'm thinking of combining Og's Boots Of Peril with Stormward Pauldrons and Helm Of Reinforcement, see how that rolls. Then again, I'm so not used to spending a major token on a helm...
I don't know if you've considered it, but superstitious also triggers on your own guys dying, so a somewhat skilled opponent can use this to his advantage and "trade" a kill with the added bonus of dropping your hand.
If you're looking for enchanted mail, get Ogre Plate. It has enchanted mail, costs the same tokens as Deathcurse Mail, and throws in a Lunging Bash and Shimmering Aura.
Another possibility is to use Yolotli Armor, it has Barbed Platemail and comes with Enchanted Harness.
