(small) trox are not the problem. do them in
(Adj) Pixie and whatever plates you need at your level (2A, 5B, ...)
if you plan on going to CP -
Gremlin+5B is good enough for domes 1+2 IF
- you have whatever evader level is appropriate. i think i remember reading somthing about 32-35ish
- AND can survive crits (150+ish HP at least on Aurli, Krelts aren't as bad)
Grem+5B is great for a lot of other mobs too, so i'd recommend one anyways as standard equipment.
Jaguar is a GREAT armor - i had one for 2 years - but if you're hunting stuff that you really need it for you're probably too "noob" for the mob and it will cost you badly (Chompers, Scips, Spiders, ...). I speak from experience here
Other choices that come to mind ...
Ghoul ... hard to get and sadly pricy because of that. Also doesn't have Acid Protection, but that's about its only flaw in that range of armours.
Phantom - the "smaller" much cheaper Ghoul - but also no Acid
Ghost - good, cheap allrounder - but also no acid
Depends on how set you are on CP i guess
from my own eperience:
i used to keep 8 UL armours in storage for various purposes. That inlcuded Jaguar, Gremlin, Ghost, Shogun, Pixie, Gnome, Vigilante and one i obviously forgot plus several plating sets. I then condluded that i don't need as many and downgraded to just Gremlin and Adjusted Pixie + 5B and 6A, which is all i really need
Sok
PS. for CP keep AT LEAST a 5k cycling-budget - more is better
