Plate armor

Armor types
Cloth armor	Leather armor	Mail armor	Plate armor

Warriors, like this Tauren, wear plate armor for their high armor score and their attributes. Plate armor is expensive to repair due to their weight and material.

Plate armor is the heaviest type of armor. Heavier than mail, leather or cloth armor, it is wearable by death knights, warriors, and paladins immediately.

Although plate offers the highest amount of armor of all the armor classes it also boasts the highest repair bill. Since Patch 3.2, though, prices for repairing are significantly reduced.^{[citation needed]}
