Xsorus, stop making awesome videos and tempting me to reroll

Cody · September 2014

you actually use your sword...... its...amazing! you have a new fan:D

How do you find the magicka and stamina return from the constitution passive?

Xsorus · September 2014

Ehh, I can't complain about it, I think it returns 21ish with the setup i'm running right now. Its not super amazing...but its something extra. The biggest thing with Heavy Armor is the Break Free Cost reduction, you'll bloody notice that...esp if ya use Arena.

Just this week I was thinking of trying heavy armor again. Not sure I want to buy the bug zapper armor, but I may try some other crafted set.

Lionxoft · September 2014

So that set is broken?

Xsorus · September 2014

Well its hard to say if its broken, or Dual Wield is.

Dual Wields Flurry currently sets it off 100% of the time on all hits, I imagine its the same for every other armor that has a proc as well.

Blood Craze Dot will also proc it as well.

Lol, you're pretty effective I must say. I play a heavy armour DK. My resource pools are quite a bit smaller (2/3 I think). Outnumbered like that, atm I wouldn't have much resources left to think of attacking anyone. Hoping it's because I'm "only" a

P.S. what's the ui mod you're using?

MurkMuffin · September 2014

I must say that you're pretty good. A lot of survivability with a DK, but I can see experience and skill showing in your gameplay. Great work. btw I subscribed to your channel

Davadin · September 2014

even without the bug zapper 5/5 bonus, it's a pretty decent set.

yes i run around with 4-5 heavies as well. the break stuns and overal survavibility is awesome.

Xsorus · September 2014

I got in a few 1v1's with decent players that I actually won with the setup...which is surprising.

Next up is trying out my Afflicted Setup changed up a bit.

Marthenil · September 2014

This set is really interesting...Now imagine if Heavy armor was actually, you know, usefull....

I know right?? think of the possibilities.....

Xsorus · October 2014

Heavy armor has some amazing set bonuses, If only it had passive crit resist...because all of the amazing set bonuses it has right now are on armor with no crit resist

Having a small amount of crit resist in the heavy armor passives would be a welcome change.

Cody · October 2014

heavy armor having a critical hit resistance passive would be a great way to make it stand out from the other two armors.

Xsorus · October 2014

Yea..Just because it'd allow Heavy Armor users to use different traits

I think it still wouldn't be enough to make heavy armor useful.
Still, a step forward.

Braidas · October 2014

how about a full set of heavy armor gives 700 crit resist plus unaffected by debuffs?

Agrippa_Invisus · October 2014

Personally, I think they just need to add a damage resistance trait that triggers on 5+ pieces in the skill line. Add it to the Bracing ability.

Give the wearer 2/4% flat damage resistance per piece worn (requiring 2 points in the passive to get 4%). Then you'll see HA wearers be real tanks unrivaled by the LA wearing counterparts. Having a full set of HA, plus being hard capped (with say DK's Spiked Armor) armor and spell resist will make the HA wearer hard as nails vs physical and quite resistant to spell damage as well.

would definitely make the armor more attractive for use. Does not feel right to be dropping players in full steel armor with my arrows much easier than I do the players in the pajama outfits..... lol

I find Heavy Armor able to take far more damage then Light Armor already simply because you can block Longer with it usually if ya have 5 pieces.

Its main problem is when ya can't Block that's when ya start taking damage, Esp when running the really good Set Lines because they have no Crit Resist. You add Passive Crit resist to Heavy Armor and you'd see these lines used more.

I'll use an example of a set I use.

Duroks Bane...This set has a 20% chance on taking damage to apply a 50% healing debuff to the target that damaged you for 5 seconds. This set is incredibly powerful in fights...However it has no Crit Resist. Add a Passive Heavy Armor crit resist and it becomes one of the best PvP sets in the game.

Poxheart · October 2014

I keep looking at the crafted armor sets to find one that would be worth making as heavy armor, but haven't found one that's worth it. Last weekend I tried 5 pieces of heavy Seducer with 5 pieces Warlock. It was OK, but I definitely noticed reduced effectiveness.

Xsorus · October 2014

Construct Heavy Armor is interesting..It'll be even better when they Fix Radiant Light from not breaking.

Basically Construct has crit resist on all its set pieces, and the 5 piece is 20% reduction to Critical Hit damage...Basically it cuts the damage from Sneak attacks by 20%. When they fix Radiant light you'll take 70% reduced damage from Sneak attacks with that setup...That is incredibly good for Roaming.

Komma · October 2014

I ran into that set tonight. I died and the guy only had to hit me once. Neat set but my rapid strikes killed me not the player.

Poxheart · October 2014

I've never taken the radiant light morph; what's broken about it?

krim · October 2014

The only downside to heavy armor is the loss of damage from not wearing light. I can work around the magicka cost and 10% crit isnt a big deal. Spell pen you cant really make up for.

Almost all of his abilities utilize armor pen. I suppose it's on a per build basis.

It just flat out stops working after about 10 minutes.

That's a bummer. Does relogging fix it? What about taking it off your bar & then putting it back on?
