Armour Master not working

Syiccal

why doesn't hardened armour from stam dk proc armour masters bonus

Darlon

because the dk skill comes from a class skill line, and not from an armor skill line

The Armor Master 5 piece bonus reads:

While you have an Armor ability slotted...

The "Armor ability" refers to one of the skills in the "Armor" skill line:

• Light Armor -- Annulment + morphs
• Medium Armor -- Evasion + morphs
• Heavy Armor -- Immovable + morphs

It does not refer to any general armor buffing skills like Hardened Armor. Perhaps the set bonus could be tweaked to make it explicit in that it refers to the Armor skil l

Ever since they changed it so you had to be wearing 5 pieces of light/heavy/med armor to get the active skill Armor Master has become useless. It used to be you could run heavy armor and proc armor master off of shuffle or harness magicka...but all you have now is immovable, and thats worthless because of class skills. These days Armor Master is trash

If you're using this set with medium armor you can proc this set via using shuffle, but don't forget to also use hardened armor as it grants you %12 healing received from passives, and it will give you even more resistances.

One little tip: you can back bar this set, the resistance buff is a proc and it lasts 10 seconds. so you can proc it on your back bar, then switch bars and still have the effect for 10 seconds.

While true, casting shuffle every 10 seconds is a massive resource drain. It's pretty espensive.

In fact i wouldn't bother with this set at all OP. Much better options for tanking.

Unlike fortified brass this set allows you to run bone pirate with it, since it can be back barred.
