Every single enigma i've seen is in mageplate. Why is this? Mageplate doesn't have the highest armor. Is it because of the required strength/armor ratio?
The most popular armors for Enigma (in order of rarity) are :
breast plate
mage plate
dusk shroud
Archon plate
Breast plate - lowest str in the game. Any char can wear one of these with base str if they have an anni and torch, even if they're both 10/10
Mage - much higher defense than breast plate (usually by close to 200), more durability, and most characters can use one of these with base strength. Necros and sorcs may be a little on the edge, but mara's tends to give them that nudge.
dusk shroud - used for chars with decent starting strength and some +str on gear. Also has one of the best defense/requirements ratio.
Archon - it's shiny. Almost no chars can use this with base strength, and adding strength defeats the purpose of enigma anyway. Oh well.
