Why is it called "Ares's Cuirass Set", when Ghanraam refers to the set with "Ares Plate Armor" in game?


As I commented in the other Salvage Armor sets, there should be ___ Set pages for each of the 3 lower level armor sets for each high-end set since they are equippable and can be useful for players levelling up another job. I don't want to create a stub page with the only info being a historical background, so I'll leave the page creation to someone who has information to post on those armor sets. I'll port the backgrounds to those pages when they're created.


Historical Backgrounds:

Enyo

In Greek mythology, Enyo is the attendant of Ares, the god of war and accompanied Ares into battle. Enyo was a Keres (demon) known by the title “waster of cities. She was depicted as being covered in blood and wielding weapons. Enyo is Greek for “horror”. She was sometimes shown as a sister of Ares, sometimes a daughter of Ares. Enyo was also the name of one of the 3 Graeae (3 old women that had only 1 eye and 1 tooth among the 3 of them). The other Graeae were Deino and Pemphredo (see Worker Pephredo).


Phobos

In Greek mythology, Phobos is the attendant of Ares, the god of war and accompanied Ares into battle. He is also the son of Ares (his mother is Aphrodite) and brother of Deimos. He is the personification of fear and horror. Phobos had the power to instill fear in every living thing in his field of vision. Phobos is Greek for “fear”.


Phobos was also one of the two moons of Mars. It was discovered by Asaph Hall on August 18th, 1877. It has a 22km diameter and is a captured asteroid. Its most distinguishing characteristic is a giant crater, the Stickney Crater.


Deimos

In Greek mythology, Deimos is the attendant of Ares, the god of war and accompanied Ares into battle. He is also the son of Ares (his mother is Aphrodite) and brother of Phobos. He is the personification of dread.


Deimos was also one of the two moons of Mars. It was discovered by Asaph Hall on August 12th, 1877. It has a 13km diameter and is a captured asteroid.

The set is 5% DA. It matches with Morrigan's +5 MAB, Usukane's +5 Haste, Marduk's +5 Fast Cast, and Skadi's 5% Crit.

the skadi's page has no defined % on the crit increase --GodsBlackArm 01:31, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
