It it still battle for middle earth, and not the hobbit and therefore an armor appears in LoTR should have priority.
Well, it completely does not make sense and it isn't normal argument.
Have you noticed that Edain mod is full of inspirations/desings/and even factions from Hobbit movie trilogy or from book?
I also hope that Elrond does not get the armor he is wearing in the hobbit but keeps his old one.
Which one is the old one? Last alliance armour? Well, it is really "old one"
...
Personally I really like his Dos armour, but I completely agree that it's pointless and not priority and mainly - Legolas is very agile mass slayer ... which leads to the questions:
1) Does he really need armour?
2) And why should he wear armour from Helm's deep in Lorien/Mirkwood. It doesn't make sense. Firstly there can be timeline problem and secondly design doesn't fit there. During both trilogy he has armour (two designs of armour) twice and only for specific moment, but the whole time he is without armour as a agile elf.

By the way - as you surely noticed - we've been locked.
It means that discussion about Dos armour is (for the team) pointless and not conceptual.
But if someone wants to discuss his Rohan armour or generally talk about Legolas, just write me personal message and I'll do little modification of topic of this thread and we can continue.
