Part 7/10 - Subordinate City Battle (PvP) General (Mayor) Equipment (Including Abbas Set Analysis)

All six (6) piece of the Abbas Set are out, and it appears the set may have a dual purpose:

1. Subordinate City Battle (PvP) General (Mayor) Set (or Debuff Set)

2. Siege "Bomb" PvP Set

However, it's pretty clear that the Abbass Set is NOT an In-City Defense Set focused on Ground & Mounted Troops, which frankly, is a big bummer. I was really hoping to get that set for Army Generals like Leonidas I and Robert the Bruce.

Below is a comparison of the four (4) best options for Subordinate City Battle (PvP) General (Mayor) Gear:

At this point, different combinations of the Achamenidea Set are the most commonly used (and probably best) gear for Subordinate City Battle (PvP) Generals (Mayors) that aren't wearing the Abbass Set. However, it looks like the Abbass Set is about 27% more powerful when used as a Subordinate City Battle (PvP) General (Mayor) Debuff Set.

The first set below represents the stronger Achaemenidae Set choices, and the alternate option for each piece (with scores) are listed below the primary choices. The Achaemenidae Axe and Courageous Achaemenidae Ring are the only two (2) pieces worth switching out.

In my set-up, I've swapped out four (4) Axes and three (3) Rings.

The full Ares Set is not that great for Subordinate City Battle (PvP) Generals (Mayors). It's NOT recommended to switch out any of the Ares Set pieces for Achaemenidae Set pieces.

The only Ares Equipment that comes close to being worth consideration is the Fearless Ares Armor, but switching this piece out would cause the loss of the Achaemenidae 6-Piece Bonus, Reduce Enemy All Troop Attack by 15%. This is a HUGE bonus, so it doesn't seem worth it to break up the 6-Piece Achaemenidae Set.
