The mitigation tests i did I had 200 con and that perk, so the 5% extra armor and all that would be the math I have above sadly
Then how is it PVP now is better balanced than it ever was? 
Ill tell you what won’t ever change:
the whining of unskilled heavy Bruisers on this forum 
Not sure I am playing the same game as some others on here. Medium armor is actually quite nice. You can easily compete 1v1 vs light armor users if you are controlled when using your dodges and they don’t get their wombo combo on you immediately. Anytime ive used heavy armor in pvp ive had times where ive built up fortify and was tanking huge amounts of damage and smacking people around with a hammer. Light armor is just more fun because it gives skilled players all of the tools needed to dance around.
Yea before patch you could, armor difference between medium and heavy is null now, we had to rely on fortify as heavy
You mean how it’s a first person shooter now? 
changes went nowhere even approaching far enough. Shirking fort needs to be brought up to about 10-15% at least (and all sources of fortify for that matter, the fact that fortify is a self rend on light is the dumbest thing I have ever heard) to even be worth running and heavy needs a flat range damage mitigation of about 30% to be worth running outside of wars.
The only way to play heavy currently is with sns, that should tell you everything you need to know about the current balance of pvp. If you strip away any kind of defensive capability that med and heavy have then people will simply choose to play light as mobility is unbelievably more reliable at damage mitigation.

So true. Check out his youtube, it’s comical. He spends his life holding right click and then stun lock kills people with detonate.

Still better than watching someone with a bow run and hold W for most of the match Oh and occasionally press LMB after the person gets sick of chasing them
Not at all, the bow running away doesn’t make you lose control of your character and go from 100-0 with no chance of escape.
Your build does, it’s full on cancer and you know it, and for some very strange reason you think it deserves more buffs.
They fixed stun locks but left heavy in a bad spot, no one plays heavy for a good reason, only thing it had going for it was cc duration pre patch, I play light now cause the mitigation it currently has is not worth it, better off dodge rolling. With the damage range does the only thing melee can do is get as close as possible as fast as possible. But Ty for watching 
someone’s gotta watch my 80 1v3 videos you know
Jees, 80 videos of you holding right click? No thanks.
yes yes, 80 videos of right click, like watching bruisers holding shift to bunny hop or GS users holding LMB for heavy attacks or archers spamming shift, either you get sh1ted on by S&S or your in one of my videos. but we all got combos here, bruisers love doing shock wave, then wrecking ball then maelstrum. spear users…dont get me started on that cc train. but we all have our things, you hide in the bushes while i push the frontline. my favorite is this fire staff user using burnout into detonate to 1 shot people.

alright right click man
You mean how it before was flooded by no-brain no-skill Stunlock combos
and one shot builds?
It’s still third person now and good Bruisers perform exceptionally well in 3v3 Arena.
I love low skill player responses like this.
Let me teach you the game real quick.
For a heavy sns hammer combo user to do the combo versus a light target, then you need to first land shield rush (witch is omegalol braindeadly easy to dodge )
Only thing easier to dodge than that is shield bash since its also super duper slow.
Once you dodge these two, you have like 20-30 seconds to swap to your damage weapon and just spam klick on the tank and there you have it, easy win. Beated 90% of tanks on my light gs build playing well, and in fact it was insanely easy.
Now let me teach you have to beat heavy as medium bruiser.
Just go 300 con, use a fast weapon and stand in their face spamming light attacks after dodging/baiting bash, if you have good perks and a proper setup then you win.
Always use a hammer with armor breaker for easy shield breaking= 1x heavy strike+armor break instantly broken, into shockwave and wreckingball, swap to axe or gs, easy peasy.
The fact is, it takes 100 times more skill to play heavy and out manover these builds than it takes to play light/ranged or bruiser to beat them.
Only true noobs and omegalol low tier players cry about heavy tanks, so… Guess we know what you are.
Also you owe me 30$ for teaching you how to play… I expect it today, however i assume you are a bow light rat player and they have no integrity and honor so, guess you gonna wheezle your way out of it

holding right click takes 100x more skill to play than range.

It’s clear that playing in light armor is much easier.
In a week playing light melee I consistently got 17+ kills and died 0-3 times.
