what is better than, or similar to, flak jacket?

People tell me that Well-Marked is pretty good.

vtes.pl/card/363686

Well-Marked
+1 stealth action. Requires a Laibon.
Put this card on this Laibon. If his or her capacity is 5 or more, he or she untaps. Once each combat, this Laibon may prevent 1 non-aggravated damage from the opponent's strike. A minion can have only one Well-Marked.

If you want something vanilla, I guess there's Kevlar Vest.

vtes.pl/card/341987

Kevlar Vest
Bearer may prevent 2 damage from gun strikes or 1 damage from any other source each combat. A minion may have only one Kevlar Vest.

I think it's fair to say that Kevlar Vest is in all ways superior to Flak Jacket and that - outside of collection restrictions - there is absolutely no reason to ever put Flak Jacket in a deck again.

Blood Shield (Osebo ). both defense and offense in one. also prevents one damage each *round*.

Unique equipment. 2
The minion with this equipment may prevent 1 damage from an opposing minion's strike each round. If used to prevent damage from a hand strike made by a vampire with capcity 6 or less, that vampire burns 2 blood.

Aabt Kindred, Ganhuru, Lodin, Alan-Jalav, Dimitri Borodin, ... all have some sort of prevention built-in. pretty sweet out of the box.

@ Kraus: well-marked rocks indeed imho (as long as you also have an Ivory Bow or noone does

'Ablative skin' is another possibility btw.

Of all these, i must say i much prefer 'Leather jacket' over anything else (except at times some of the built-in specials) because of the inherent untap. it also doesn't have the 'non-aggravated damage only' clause that Well-marked (Laibon only) has.

I disagree. If you want to stack prevent on one minion, or just to be able to cycle cards better, Flak Jacket belongs right along side your Kevlar Vest.
