Light and medium armor speed bonus suggestion

Delparis

Zenimax should add imo a speed bonus when wearing light or medium armor to help pve and pvp mobility

1. When 5 light armor pieces equipped add 2% speed per light piece
2. when 5 medium armor pieces equipped add 1% speed bonus per medium piece

Why?

better mobility for light armor builds as they lack resitance and mobility.

also i think that you should run better when you are in light than when you wear medium or heavy as they are "heavier"

if you want realism then think like this. Wearing heavy armor trains your muscles to be stronger. Being stronger gives you more force in legs etc. Being in light just makes you weak and you tire fast. Imagine bulls, they are massive and heavy but still can rush at high speed.

Mayrael

Seems pretty good idea.

except most magica builds have high mobility
sorc - streak
warden - wings
Dk - chains and wings kinda
nightblade - path
templar - not played enough to comment

No. We already had the speed meta before and we don't need it back. The game's positioning system better be properly fixed before adding a speed bonus to anything. I know for a fact its not fixed on live...

Wolfpaw

Med had it in pts, & from what I read it was removed. Speed buff when hit w/aoe. Med seems it will be pretty strong anyhow, live will give a better picture.

Stamina has the same access to most of the same speed buffs as mag (RAT, Warden wings, etc...), plus gap-closers...& dual wield is getting a gap-closer also.

I agree though some light classes will be hurting.

Light needs reliable escapes to reposition.

I know my magden is a sitting duck against semi-skilled stam players.

That makes no sense. Medium armor would and should definitely be faster than light armor, for two reasons.

1. Try to run while wearing a robe, chances are you going to trip. Even, if you don't wear a robe but a jacket and pants instead: Light armor is saggy and floaty, while Medium armor is tight and sort of "aerodynamic".

2. MA needs to be faster than LA just for balance reasons. LA has shields going for them to absorb incoming damage and HA has its high mitigation to nullify it. But MA has 25% dmg reduction to AoE damage? Medium armor users are supposed to negate incoming damage by completely evading it. Dodge roll does a pitiful job since every ultimate and AoE ability is unavoidable, so what they need, more than anyone else, is speed. They gotta be faster than their opponents to avoid the incoming damage.

1. As someone who used to do reenactment, trying to run fast in leather armour is not as easy as running in a jerkin and pants, and running in chainmail or half plate is extremely tiring.

2. No it doesn't, you have reduction to all Stamina abilities and better resistances. If the problem is unavoidable AoE, then that is what need to be changed. With the current changes to shields they are going to stop one attack and increase cost will reduce the times that you will cast shields.

Armour in general in this game needs to be completely reworked, the difference in resistances between the three types are great, but there needs to be bonuses to light to compensate for the lack of defense, on the other hand though heavy armour needs to have disadvantages (slower movement/increase cost to skills or something), with medium being the middle ground,

Wolfpaw

My experience in armor mobility balance,

1. Heavy is slower (mobility costs & distance travelled) with bursts of mobility through gap-closers.
2. Medium is quick on the feet with dodge & sprint.
3. Light has reposition skills through magic like teleports & misdirection.

Urzigurumash

Hmm, maybe something for Medium like:

Increases the Movement Speed bonus of Sprint by 3% for each piece of Medium Armor equipped. Reduces the cost of Roll Dodge by 4% for each piece of Medium Armor equipped.

And for Light, maybe:

Reduces the effectiveness of snares applied to you by 4% per piece of Light Armor worn. Reduces the cost of Sprint by 3% per piece of Light Armor worn

It already has this via the absence of Cost Reduction perks, and the absence of any perk related to sprinting, unlike Medium and Light, which have both.

guys i don't know which class are you talking about (sorc?) but magplar is currently the slowest class for pvp.
also magplar don't have access to magicka shield and has no teleportation or redirection skills.

so what's the point with magplar? should i keep playing it as a pvp hard mode difficulty while being slow like a turtle ?

Magplar is slow true af but it is opposide of hard mode. Magplar is easily A tier for PvP. You can build for mobility to fill in the gaps.

Nop you can't build mobility without losing resitance or dmg or sustain.

I've tried multiple builds and nothing works fine.

• Resitance and sustain -> no dmg and no mobility
• dmg and mobility -> no resistance and sustain
• and so on...

Obviously you have to give something up for it. You should not expect to gain free mobility. I suggest drop sustain and rely on Meditate more.

kojou

I always "naked" should give you 100% of your speed. Light armor should take 10%, medium 20%, and heavy 30% (before passives).

They should also consume increased amounts of stamina for rolling and sprinting.

Shardaxx

I've always thought its daft that characters in heavy move the same speed as light and medium, in a lot of games heavy armor reduces base movement, as it should.

Delparis

Like Dark souls

ccmedaddy

I like it. Heavy armor should also take significantly more fall dmg

Aliyavana

medium's gameplay style is designed around speed, light armor users consist of magicka and have a ranged advantage
