  Nah I like the Colin better for actual gear, for reasons I've already said. I might get thames someday if it's ever relevant to my play-style but I don't plan on it as of yet.

  Fish up some stamina potions. No need for a full-blown Colin set as actual armor. In the long run, you will have more stamina as you progress through the game, so enchanting the whole set and what-not is not very practical. And while this is a fantasy life game, if you're using up your stamina that fast, you might want to consider ranking up skills that give stamina rather than putting up with it and having to use Colin forever.
  
  A Thames set is pretty much relevant to all warrior's play styles, as smash is very common. If you like Colin that much, then fine. As for using it as actual gear.. I'm going to agree with ironwoman about it being inefficient compared to Thames. And what ironwoman said is true--if you kill monsters in fewer smashes with a Thames set, you will use less stamina. A Colin set is fine if you're not going to use it for a long period of time. It's just going to be pretty impractical.[/FONT]

  You guys are being too pushy.
  
  Isn't it up to him what he prefers to use? Not everyone cares about doing 11,500 damage smashes instead of 10,000 damage smashes.
  If he does want to go for damage later on, then he will learn it on his own and change to a Thames set when he needs it.
  
  Not everyone wants to be end-game and steamroll everything, that just makes the game even less challenging than it already is.
  
  Opinions are fine, but don't try force it onto others.

  Pretty much what I wanted to say.
  Just keep my question in mind: Would you rather have an equip that fits your needs very temporarily and become essentially a gold waste, or just invest in something that might not benefit as much as it would seem right now but not worry about it later?
  
  I'm not saying you can't get colin set. I'm stating it's rather gold inefficient, as you will most likely ditch it later. Putting enchants and what nots would essentially be a waste, while on thames it wouldn't because this armor will literally be your gear for the rest of your game.
  
  If you're worried about stamina, don't. Even when you try not to, you'll see it go up.
