heavy armor

Revitalize - increases magicka or stamina your heavy attacks restore by 25%

since heavy armor isn't stam or magicka focused set why not add 50% resources gained from heavy given as opposite stat.
I used to run heavy amor but since destroy staffs heavy attack is to long and any magicka class that's running heavy is melee the balance reason behind there long heavy attack hurts them since they are melee not range.



the armor ability should get a magicka morph.

with warth gone for magicka users heavy armor isn't worth it anymore the sustain and dmg from light is a lot better than the dmg mitigation and poor sustain that heavy provides. unless the sustain is close to light there isn't anyreason to use it

    No, they should leave as it is and change something else about heavy that makes it less desirable all around for PvP. Or, buff medium so it's a better choice for PvP like light is. Or need sets liek ravager, 7th, fury, truth etc so they don't give so much damage - that's another reason to use heavy on stam over magica, as magica have no really sets that works like this.

    Wearing heavy and dishing out damage is stupid. I'd like to see wearing 5 piece of heavy reducing weapon damage by like 20% or something. Makes little difference to most tanks in pve (except maybe sap tanks) and allows players who want to tank in PvP to still tank, just do less damage.

    The heavy armour meta has gone on way too long in PvP as it is. It needs to go.

    I know medium needs a buff. but nexts update I'm pretty sure people with be running medium with 7th legion jewelry and weapons. I'm pretty sure there will be build come out 7k weapon dmg and be able sustain

    get armor need lik2 20% dmg reduction to aoes while dodge rolling.

    me switching from heavy to light my sustain increased drastically and my dmg went from getting like 4k power lashes to getting 6k powers lashes and 7k on light

    Yea but you do have to tailor it to that. And some classes work better in heavy than others. It has use though.

    Neither will be used in heavy once jewelry trait change comes though.

    Between constitution and heavy resto attacks I sustain much better in heavy then in light. Spinners jewelry and weapons makes up for the penetration/damage loss and with the extra resistance, health, and healing I'm much more tanky.

    I guess I'm on the other end of the spectrum in that I can't find any good reason to wear light armour except for pve.
