With recent mid-level armor sales threads and the new armors that came from other planets, I wanted to know how the mid-level armors perform on 16 of the most popular mobs you would want to hunt when you are mid-level . So I used entropedia’s armor vs mobs on a number of different mobs. At the end I will try to sort the armors by best choice regardless of money, and the value for money choice.
Included in the list are low/mid level armors upto tiger. Excluded is raven, improved shogun, improved vigilante and community recognition because these armors are either not widely available or not available as a complete set (yet).
All armors are plated with 5b. Ofcourse you would use other plates on some mobs, but the idea is to use the plate most hunters use overall. The damage behind the armors is avg dmg dealt. Mobs where the youngest maturity is not really huntable by all armors is excluded (like chompers which is really only doable for a few armors like tiger, jaguar and liakon). If same dmg is dealt, lesser decay decides ranking

13 gremlin 134

conclusion
tiger remains the best midlevel all round armor but it comes at a price, jaguar second, liakon a nice third.
best value for money in the top 3 goes to liakon.
in the mid range ghoul lives up to its name at a nice 4th spot.
best value for money is either phantom or boar, as those armors are dropping in price rapidly
in the lower range jarhead is the cheap alternative at spot 8.
The specialist armor paradox shows its worth on rextelum, phasm,araneatrox, scipulor,atrox and atrax. The new 'cursed upon bound' Viceroy is a top 3 contender for leviathan, kreltin and proteron. It's almost everywhere a bit better than Gremlin, except evis gen. 03.

Nice comparison. I know I could have done it myself, but I also know I would never be bothered to do it with so many armors on so many mobs :cool:.
 
Nice list. Though the economist in me would like to see a similar list, with decay values.
 
very nice list :) would have included nemesis as well :p

Overall i think Viceroy and Liakon best to have. Tiger is just too rare and expensive...
