Medium Armor

Defensively, medium armor doesn't excel at one thing in particular. It is not flexible enough to be as evasive as someone wearing light armor, nor does it provide the same degree of protection that heavier steel would bring. What medium armor focuses in is damage and staying power through sheer stamina. Many of its abilities focus on regenerating stamina and quickly regaining stamina lost, which makes it useful for builds that rely heavily on stamina.

Medium Armor is ranked up by mitigating incoming damage while wearing medium armor, or by striking enemies while under the effect of the Rage ability tree.
