The Aldur Watchtower is a 4-piece set designed for a Druid. Any class can use the boots, armor, and weapon, but only the druid can use the class-specific helmet.
Here are the four elements and their individual analysis:
Note: The partial bonuses for each item are listed multiple times because you get a partial bonus for every other item in the set. For example, with Aldur’s Stone Gaze, you receive +15 Energy for equipping another item in the set. You receive +15 bonus Energy (+30 total) when you have equipped two other items in the set. Gain a total of +45 Energy from Aldur’s Stony Gaze if you complete the set.
Aldur’s Stony Gaze (Hunter’s Disguise Helm Set)
Defense: 157-171 (varies) (Base defense: 67-81)
Required level: 36
Required Strength: 56
Durability: 20
(Druid only)
+90 Defense
25% faster shock recovery
Mana Regenerated 17%
Cold resistance + 40-50% (varies)
Crimped (2)
+5 to light radius
+15 Energy (2 items)
+15 Energy (3 items)
+15 Energy (Full Set)
Analysis: This helmet can only be used by a Druid. She is a moderately useful druid, given her required level. Due to the% FHR and the Regenerate Mana mod, it is especially suitable for druids who engage in close combat, who are generally shapeshifters who use mana for rage or shockwaves.
Aldur’s Advancement (Set Battle Boots)
Defense: 39-47 (varies)
Required level: 45
Required Strength: 95
Assassin Kick Damage: 37-64
Indestructible
40% faster running / walking
+180 Maximum Stamina
10% of damage taken goes to mana
Heal Stamina Plus + 32%
+50 to life
Fire resistance + 40-50% (varies)
+15 to Dexterity (2 Items)
+15 to Dexterity (3 Items)
+15 to dexterity (full set)
Analysis: These are good boots, despite the high strength requirement, and some other classes will find them useful as well due to the 40% faster run / walk, a small bonus to health, and good fire resistance.
Deception of Aldur (Shadow Plate Set)
Defense: 746-857 (varies) (Base defense: 446-557)
Required level: 76
Required Strength: 115
Durability: 70
+300 Defense
Requirements -50%
Lightning Resistance + 40-50% (varies)
+15 to Dexterity
+20 Strength
+1 to elemental skills (druids only)
+1 to shape shift skills (druid only)
+15 to vitality (2 items)
+15 Vitality (3 items)
+15 Vitality (Full Set)
Analysis: At first glance, this armor may look decent, but the high-level requirement is a huge disadvantage. By the time your character reaches level 76, there are much better armor for you to choose from.
Rhythm of Aldur (Set Serrated Star)
Damage to one hand: 60 to 93 (76.5 average)
Required level: 42
Required Strength: 74
Durability: 72
Base weapon speed: [10]
+ 200% damage to demons
+ 50% damage to undead
Adds 40-62 damage
Adds 50-75 Lightning Damage
30% increased attack speed
10% of life stolen per hit
5% mana stolen per hit
Crimped (2-3) (varies) *
+15 Strength (2 items)
+15 Strength (3 items)
+15 Strength (Full Set)
Analysis: With a good IAS leech, health, and mana, Aldur’s rhythm is a decent weapon when you’re level 42 or higher, but once you’re level high enough (76) to use Aldur’s deception, the damage it deals. it’s a shame compared to what you could get with other weapons.

Final summary of the Aldur watchtower ensemble:
While some pieces of the Aldur Watchtower (the boots and possibly the weapon) may be suitable for other classes, as a set it is designed with shapeshifting druids in mind. Both werewolves and bearmen can make full use of% FHR, Faster Run / Walk, IAS, and the Life & Mana leech. The set bonuses for a full set are quite useful, but the biggest drawback is still the high level requirement of the armor.
