If this is a repost I do apologize in advance just wanted to throw this out there.
In general the Nadox dropped armor appears to be better than what can be purchsed in HOH and evolved when comparing the items . After what we have seen first hand in Nadox it would be virtually impossible to even obtain Nadox armor with out a full set of HOH armor.
I used priest classes in the links below but after checking melee it seems to follow the same pattern. On all these they all have something that makes them stand out as "better" from the HOH armor.

Nadox webtools/items.php?id=120959
Boots:
HOH webtools/items.php?id=120599
Nadox webtools/items.php?id=120961
Helm:
HOH webtools/items.php?id=120559
Nadox webtools/items.php?id=120960
Gloves sorry no links but Nadox does have less AC/HP but you get a clicky and other added effects that more than make up for that.
When the arms are compared they are not really either better or worse, same AC, less HP/Mana, with added attack and strikethrough.

Even when comparing for melee classes the Nadox arms do not appear to be much of an upgrade. For the tank types that look at AC/HP and nothing else (yes I know a few that do) Nadox would not be an upgrade at all.

Nadox that would replace both above webtools/items.php?id=120939
My question in all of this was this how Nadox armor for the arm slot was intended to be?
