Weakening light armor

Its not light armor issue. Its max fortify issue.
But in case of fortify i agree we should have different caps for different armor types. But not in case of resilient.

And on top in general fortify cap is to high.

I have never liked resil on light, i have always favored freedom over it.

Yes because left clicks and sitting in sacred so fun.

You know that fortification on Light Armour is more effective than on Heavy Armour, right???

This is why we need to replace david/scott

To be fair LA was buffed from what is was originally. In a mass brawl yes LA is going to go down a lot quicker that its counter part, but in 1v1 and small skirmish it is a big advantage.

As HvY user, in 1v1 against LA unless you get lucky, you are not going to down them, they need to make a mistake in reality for you to stand any chance. I just don’t bother in OPR with those sought of engagements.

Yes it was, and it was great. It was not enough. I have been advocating for more for a long time.

Fortify on Light Armour reduces dmg by much more than on Heavy armour because it’s a percentage of dmg instead of a flat number.

e.g.

If you hit heavy armour with a wpn and it does 2000 dmg, and it is reduced by 20%, that is a reduction of 400 dmg,

That same hit on light armour, and it does 3000 dmg, the reduction is now 600.

Thats why numers should be adjusted for armor type. But only for this perk. No reason to touch resilient.

Or just make it “increase base armor stats by x %” and be done with it lol.

with Stoneform and Defy Death ready there is no risk, and that’s how it’s been going for some time

Thing is Nourii its not fun if your not wearing LA, Its making LA the only viable armour in a lot of situations. Its not uncommon to see M10 shouts for “DPS LA only” You even get LA tanks for mutes :slight_smile: granted you need to know what your doing and not very viable with a pug . I DPS in HvY WH/GA for trash and HAT/WH for boss fights, makes everything so easy for the tank and healer. You wont get any speed runs in HvY but the chances of you clearing the M10 go up substantially. The amount of peops I rez :slight_smile:

Perhaps they should just have one armour, as it appears in the end if the don’t do something that’s what will be the enforced meta anyway. :slight_smile:

Wait! You mean someone over at AGS realized that lights ability to completely avoid damage through evasion, resulted in EHP that far exceeds heavy, and you get a damage increase?

For shame! Took them long enough. :rofl:

Happy to see that AGS compiled the numbers and realized that having Greatswords skate across the map for 5-6 meters at a time to plunge you for 4-6k damage every time one touches you in Light Armor was in fact not good enough to deter people from playing light armor and having fun. Best to nerf light armor again of course, also Muskets will continue to two tap you, cheers! :beers:

First off, these are largely pvp based.

This is all ignorance from players. Players copy others and its the most efficient thing to do. Heavy, light and medium are equally valuable right now. What the general herd of sheep dont get is that low damage comes from over 50 con, not from the armor types. heavy armor groups can pull more and so they make up some of that dps advantage from the way they pull.

Do you know what i think? I want to see a mastery system for armor, and i want to see the bonus’s shift from 1 for each type, to 1 for each type per attribute. Span this over the concept of each identity for example

glass cannon mage, invoker medium mage, or fighter mage.

  • Damage, + mana regen/mana, + magic armor resist.

Thief, ranger, heavy armor xbow user

  • speed, +crit, + crit reduction

And so on.
