Yeah that's really disheartening. When you wear heavy armor, you are sacrificing quite a bit of damage/regen/etc and if it doesn't provide adequate mitigation, there is no point in using it...

Passives...

But if you look at the second test there is a big difference, not that I think that armr isn't totally borked.

I cant look at Heavy Armor and think its borked I think its the way people look at it and expect from it without realizing its full potential.

Light Armor can hit soft cap and cast well. This does allow a different kind of tanking but if something hits hard you have to look at what Heavy Armor is offering.

Heavy Armor can PUSH to hard cap. So now your talking 20% physical damage reduction OVER Light Armor. Then you have decreased cost in blocking with increased healing received

I think the issue is people aren't seeing the extra 20% physical damage reduction over Light Armor and factor that into the passives.

Your wrong . You can hit hard cap n light armor. You can easily buff yourself to hard cap. Tuere is no additional caps for any armor. I am a end game tank on two characters. There is zero difference in mitigation between myheavy armor dk running armor buff and my sorc in light armor running aegis and lightning armor .both cap out at 50% mitigation you get no additional caps for wearing heavy .you get more critical and magic resistance in light. The only thing gained is additional healing is 3.5%. That means nothing . In vr content if a mob hits you for a crit 3200 hit you die whether you were in light or heavy if you only have 2900 hp.your fooling yourself if you think heavy mitigates anything. The only additional mitigation you get is from a block with shield. Ive tanked every single vr boss aside from the last trial , type of armor means nothing the armor value dictates mitigation and light armor hits the 50% mitigation with a couple buffs.there are videos showing people tank naked with incoming damage compared to wearing heavy the difference was so slight the healer barely noticed

If you can hit Hard cap in Light Armor then the system is INCREDIBLY broken. Light Armor should ONLY be hitting soft cap by the same means taken to reach hard cap minus spells that boost armor.
