Concept art
Heavy chestpieces provide more protection than the other armor types, such as light armor and medium armor; only massive armor provides better protection. However, unlike massive armor, heavy armor's detrimental effect on an archer's rate of fire can be mitigated by the appropriate talent. This type of armor is best suited to persons who engage the enemy in very close range, such as warriors.
