Uh you people that are talking about stabbing through chainmail do realize that chainmail was good against chopping and slashing but was almost useless against thrusting. a dagger could go through chainmail but an axe couldn't because of how it was designed.

I know you are but someone started talking about chainmail and I was just saying it was weak to stabbing. But for plate armor they created stuff like war hammers and stuff like that to change stuff.

So uh... regarding the Design of the Wild Hunt Armor. Which looks awesome, by the way. But I worry that Geralt won't be able to even fight the wild hunt.

They're all covered head to toe in what appears to be wrought iron.
