Why wear light armor?

So just to clarify you do want run that quest for the level 60 weapon that takes days or weeks from what i told to get an item you spent dozens of hours on and not have it with the right stats. Then you cant do the quest again?

Bro, I’m level 53 and still haven’t bothered with the second dungeon quest in the main story line, because it requires running a dungeon and “no thanks” until they add a dungeon finder.

Games are what you make of them.

Ah okay so you may not be aware of the end game content (As am I at level 55). But i do believe quest items should be fixed stats. I dont want to spend weeks working on 1 quest and only 1 to get a crappy item and not be able to do the quest again.

im full int and sometimes i feel like using a great axe with full int on it to other people its “useless” to me its more DMG

But your best items are going to be crafted, anyway right? So why does this one quest matter so much, or even at all?

I went from medium to light, so i could roll, which did help vs alligators. But i feel like i get destroyed by some mobs. It seems somewhat normal for me to lose about 40-45% health quite a bit of mobs. I have around 9500 hp. I cant remember the exact number. But yesterday, i was wondering if i should try and go heavy

I been in light gear since day 1 and I love it, Dodge roll FTW, I feel like I cant play without it now. thats mainly why I use light armor I guess.

I have never seen someone use light armor for anything other than the roll; I prefer the small step for Iframe dodging. Heavy Plate all day, baby!

Is that the right way of thinking about it? IDK if the best items are crafted or not but why does it make it okay for quest items that ppl do run and spend countless hours on to be crap? Just because its not the “best item in the game” doesnt justify not making it matter then. Maybe crafted items are the best idk, but for how long? When will there be a patch to change that? Will it always be like this a year from now?

I feel like people are trained into thinking the last quest in The Big Chain is supposed to give you some Great Item that You Use Until The Next Expansion, like legendaries in WoW. I don’t think that’s true in this game - it’s jut a quest, and expecting it to give you some amazing, game defining reward, is expecting the wrong thing.

I could be wrong, your mileage may vary, but I have no compulsion, nor reason, to complete the main quest thread.

Probably because light has no other value than the roll. The bonuses are mostly broken in terms of actually calling it a bonus.

as a musket user, I wear light armor, but changed my mind after trying heavy armor… damage received is greatly reduced! I am dead with 2-3 shots wearing light armor, but with heavy its like I can survive x3 more hits… dodge roll is useless in pvp anyways, you only move a very short distance then the can’t move for a second cause of animation, there’s also so much cc for war hammers, and ice gauntlet, fire staff users can just spam you from far away… the additional damage for light is even barely noticeable… hell I ran the same speed with heavy armors, wish they can improve the balance with armors, like additional movement speed for lighter armors

I can agree it is quite frustrating at times and a lot of times it makes no sense. In my experience from 55-60 as a fully focus/con spec’d healer almost all my “upgrade” gear was dropping str and dex and I’m not saying like 75-80%, I’m talking like 95% or better of my gear is dropping no focus even in quests. And in other MMOs at least most of the quest rewards were spec based and in WoW you can actually chose what spec you want gear drops weighted towards in dungeons and raids.

What is the second wep you use?

It used to be like that, back when the game design decisions made sense :man_shrugging:t3:

I’m always swapping between ice gauntlet or fire staff

Fixed that for ya.

So just that I understand what youre saying is youre full spec in focus and const. You dont want “useless” items so you want your ice guantlet and or firestaff to be either int or const? No focus right?

I want my main gear like armor to drop foc or con not str or dex, if i get an ice gauntlet or fire staff upgrade then i’d hope for int or con on it. I would be ok if it was only sometimes but I (as stated previously) very rarely see a focus stat on my armor upgrades.

You’re not paying attention to the crafting system at all, are you?
