Patch 1.4 has some nice changes. Bows get some nice buffs, Uppercut costs a lot less, and light armor gets a slight nerf to its spell penetration (1-2%).

None of this seems to come close to making heavy as good as light, and we likely won't see it live for a month anyway. In fact, the change to light might actually make it more attractive, since reduced spell penetration by attackers in light armor will probably mean that light armor's spell resistance is actually going to be more effective (relatively speaking) in protecting defenders from class skills. If you're going to nerf light's spell penetration, you also need to nerf it's Spell Resistance at the same time.

So sadly, after holding out since beta, I am finally giving in, joining the zerg and grabbing some light armor. I'll check back in in a month and see if there is any hope for heavy even on the horizon.

Yes, Gina actually said that (at least regarding Rushed Ceremony) right here:

    I wear pants for Light Armor, even on my Female Sorcerer.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    It's called balancing. You don't want to use a sledgehammer on these things because it will make it worse. LA nerf one patch, heavy buff the next. It will be fine. These things take time.

    Hell, Templars have been broken since beta and they still aren't fixed.

    Hence my signature line, which I might add has yet to be answered.

    Seriously tho wrt uppercut, its still ineffective due to the slowest execution in the entire game. This allows it to be dodged, blocked, countered or otherwise interrupted so easily. Completely ineffective in group combat. I don't even slot it in dungeons or for dolmens etc. It simply can't be used unless its 1-on-1 pve.

    Re armor: Medium has some pretty good passive stam perks. Check into that if you are stam build (if u haven't already).

    BTW I would never degrade my Nord Berserker by dressing him up in drag. It's just wrong. But if you feel you have to, then at least accessorize. You know, matching high heels, purse etc the complete ensemble.

    I bet you imagine the second you put that robe on there is world peace, you start one shotting everyone and will never have to use a potion...

    Right?

    you make it sound like putting a robe on becomes some massive OP god mode...when its not...its being really squishy to melee (your gonna love NB's in cryodiil) having the ability to launch a few more skills,.

    I think you mean au naturale (or a variation, au naturel). I mean, if you're going to get naked, you can't half-a** it.

    And while you're at it, put on a nice blouse and some heels because you are now officially a Zenimax b*tch, just like the rest of us...lol

    Definitely going to go the Dame Edna route. Not for the fashion, just for the attitude :)

    Same here, only im a dual wield/medium.
    Only dual wield and medium suck compared to light/staff.
    So im finally giving up and slowly converting to the Light/Staff superior race.
    Waiting, and watching, for the return of Melee Weapons.
