How do we fix plate?

Solanum · August 2015

Plate feels rather useless, compared to light and medium armor.

The resources gained from plate are abysmally low, it has no cost reduction unless you slot a near useless ability.
Plate has no damage potential at all.
Mitigation wise light armor and medium often prove far better, due to healing, damage absorption, and stealth/blocking/dodgerolling.

easy solution: remove "penetration" mechanic from pvp so that higher spell/physical resistance = less damage taken, period... also bring the cc break cost reduction back to the heavy armor passive line, no idea why it was moved to one of the immovable morphs
