the fix to heavy is simple and very easy to implement make it so people cant run ga/wh and heavy armor. add weight to weapons to put them in encumbered state if in all heavy armor with both equipped. this will solve the issue of people running ga/wh build with all heavy armor or hybrid of med heavy. as far as lights getting hit 3 times in a row its kinda easy to happen when 80% of people are running stun locking builds ga/wh until they put in some sort of stun resist mechanic where you cant be chain stunned over and over.

As a heavy armor user, i just assume that this:
will protect me much, much less than this:
I know that in most games this isn’t the case and realism goes out the window when the word “game” is used but in my head it kind of makes sense.
Clothes in some games are close or equal to plate (opposite of realistic).
In other games wearing heavy plate completely disables casting abilities (as far as casting can be realistic, i think this is what many of us would expect in a world which has magic).
In any way, i stick to heavy as a healer because of the survivability. If i couldn’t cast in heavy armor, i would respec to melee/ranged and still use heavy armor i think.
Just my thoughts.
if you run light armor you want to either have weapons that give you a ton of mobility or 150 con + a health necklace, or all of that. exception is if you´re musket or bow since musket can sit so far away that you can be kinda squishy and get away with it and bow hits hard enough (except vs heavys) that if you have sick aim you can kill your target before it kills you. however if you choose to be so squishy aka full glass cannon and something (anything) gets to you, expect to be toast.
edit: 150 con + health necky gives you around 11.5k hp which lets you tank a few hits.
Yeah, there is always a mine spawning in behind you, or an explosive mob you dont realize is explosive that dies where you are not looking. You cant react to what you cant see basically.
What are you on about OP? Im in light and im doing just fine.
If you consider being dead most of the time or not participating in PvP to stay alive “doing just fine.”

What? Im having 20 kills and 0-2 deaths in OPR with greataxe/hatchet in light armor. You guys probably dont know how to play video games. Did u know that different weapons scale with different attributes? Greataxe for example scales with STR…
I had a long reply ready but the devs got what they want…
I don’t care about it anymore. Game is done.
My biggest problem with the recent nerf is they also ninja nerfed all the stacking heal buffs so it applies to base heal bonus not focus scaled heal bonus.
I understand the heavy/medium/light scaling, i don’t understand removing the bulk of healing’s power through buff scaling adjustment which has massively reduced healer’s skill cap.
Not only did they nerf overall healing they obliterated the ability for a good healer to distinguish themself.

I’ve been using light armor for a month. My pvp set is light armor converted to STR I use with GA.
It works ok because of the crit reduction, otherwise I would probably just explode.
My fs/ig is also light. It works ok as long as I run like hell and dodge all the time.
You pretty much have to have 100con on all builds so you at least have just shy of 9k hp to survive most big hits and aoe bombs.
You’ll also burn through health pots like candy, so best to wear something the reduces cool down or can give a random free one.
I honestly don’t know how you could heal in it. Healing pulls so much hate, you would probably spend more time kiting then actually healing
I also used to stack a tier 2 and 4 food to keep a regen on me at all times. Since that is broke. Now I just offhand a light staff to heal myself when solo.
Idk man good Dex user are really hard to kill they can dodge roll for 4 times with correct gear.
Cause they get increased stamina regain depend on what they are using. Spear gives a good boost.
I did. You have to dodge roll out of his abilities to get away. You can dodge roll the second hit of the reap. Or gravity well. And those skills have an animation, so while the GA user is spending time to perform the animation you gain even more distance. There are good mages and good bow players where i can’t ever stick to them, the best i get is 1-2 hits and then i get kited into oblivion.

Yesterday got caught only once.
I think you have to time well when you run and mustnt be too late.
Animations are barely recognizable to me due to lag, i try to forsee what they do and regarding grav well you can often, but other things hard to do for me.
Well e
I end up beeing a Sniper and staying at distance, keepijg myself alive more important than to kill or taking too much risks.
This is true, but here is a question, are the majority of them just running, or trying to fighting back while kiting?
Its true. Heavy seems to be a meta but i think nerfing it would be wrong, especially for pve. The possibly best way is to buff light and mid armor to balance the defensive capabilities in between the 3. By what amount will need some time to test out but i think thats something that may make everyone happy.
The furniture not being able to be stored in the storage is due to the trophy duping, it’s a temporary measure in place while they try and fix the duping issue. Furniture making is not dead. Just put on halt thanks to the exploiters.
here is a tip, if you want it. You dont have to wear full heavy or full light, or full medium. You can wear any combination that you like. Try medium encumbrance with a mixture of heavy, light and medium gear. Then learn to juke chain. If you wear light armor, you cant take hits NOR dodge chain. If you wear heavy armor you cant dodge chain w/ out going 0/100 and having to fully refill the bar. surviving as a bruiser isnt about the uber defenses provided by the heavy armor… not since they fixed the broken modifiers on faction armor. If you are wearing a full heavy set (or anything over 23 or w/e it is i forget) for pvp then that might be a big part of your problem. being able to double dodge chain ever 5 seconds vs “tanking” hits… I went from dying if I couldnt get my combo right 1st time to literally laughing at some folks as I 100-0 them dodging everythign they do.
Edit: IDK if its supposed to be shitty, but it is, has been, will be, until they change the system or buff it to the point that its the only viable option (as medium enc. state is atm)
yea, the good rangers are easy to recognize as it puts their name BIG AS FK on your screen when they wreck your face. Ive been caught flat footed and lost when I could have won, but usually when I lose I know ima lose on sight lol. you get a feel for it.
