Elven armor, at least for the High Elves, could not be beaten, save for certain Dwarven armors. The Dwarves were born to smith, but the Noldor learned from Aule as well.

I have a lot of opinions on the subject (RANGERS OF THE NORTH MORE POWERFUL COME ON NOW GUYS!), but I believe the lore should balance the mod itself. There are lots of Orcs, and not one of them is decent in a fight. They're cruel, yes, but they're individually no stronger than a man, and they're dumber and more prone to infighting to boot. In fact, they're often slightly smaller, as I recall.

Couldn't have said it better myself tbh.
