Ok, i cannot find an up to date recommendation for a whirlwind assassin on which armor to wear. I am purely PvM and my choices are as follow:

fortitude
nats (w/whole set)
bramble
duress
treachery

what would be the recommended armor to use? Is there something else besides one of these that is a good choice? Let me know what you guys think, i have to decide so i can predict my stat pts, items etc before i get too far. thank you

I think best cheapest will be Nats, after Duress, Enigma and last Bramble (if good). Treachery is bad for assa as it will recast your venom and fade from time to time.

I would chose Duress/Gores combo as it will add nice OW CB, what is needed in PvM.

Never heard ww-sin using Fortitude

Ok, if it helps which to use, i already have all of these armors in my possession.

If I have all of these, is Duress still the best choice?

pure ww sin? pvp or pvm? if its pvm i would recommand duress coz ww sin really do kill a lot slower in 8p games >_> u need all the cb u can get. if its pvp... well theres no other choice, u need the enigma to keep up with all those ....... players nowadays ;p

This is actually a raging debate on some forums. The issue is that some organized dueling groups play in nm and allow significant PLR/max psn res, greatly reducing the effectiveness of bramble. If you play in hell and there are reasonable limits on things like max res, or you are in a pub, bramble always beats fort. But IMO you need to be able to wear both enigma AND bramble to be an effective all-around dueler.
