    Back Armor (for Ninja)

    I would like to know everyones opinion on Foragers vs Chargers vs Aileron.
    Personally as a Ninja I find accuracy to be very tight even though I use sushi (No I'm not gimp most ninjas do/should use Sushi in most situations, this is not mire I'm mainly talking Mamool)
    Now I've never been a fan of STR but no one ever seems to use Chargers Mantle, is the Attack+5 simply not better then the STR+3 on Foragers? And isn't Acc > Atk/STR for the most part always during the TP phase, thoughts on Acc+6 vs Atk+15/20?
    And same question goes for a Meat eating Ninja on Colibiri? Most ninjas don't change gear except maybe Koga/Haub > AF for Colibiris, Would the acc be worth the atk loss with atk food?

    I agree with Sushi on NIN at Mamool, and honestly I have my eye on testing the Aileron if I can get one, but I need to assault up for a Perdu Blade first.

    The reason nobody uses Charger Mantle is just because of the 150 coin cost. Unless you have Brutal, Boxer's, and Loq Earring on each of your characters, and really really want to not-sell 150 coins, Charger just isn't worth the price tag for a r/ex piece.

    Well for Ninja which is what this thread is about you can solo a Chargers for a little over 600k I beleive. But that does explain why they are so rare.

    Charger Mantle is bleh. It's really only a 3.5 attack increase. +3 STR > 3.5 Attack, imo. I just plan on using Cerb Mantle for Enmity bonus. Going full DD it really depends on your Acc numbers already. The Aileron is probably a suitable choice for high evasion mobs. The ppl who swap out W.Turban or Speed/Swift Belt for O.Hat/Life Belt should prolly look into getting that instead.

    I was Amemit+1 4 life, but quit (Ninja) since any new gear came out and never had a problem with that...
