Get rid of 5pc armor passives replace with a per peice effect

5pc hvy for more blocking and reduced cost
5pc med for 12% weapon dmg
5pc light for spell penetration

Change these to per peice effects like the first passive on the list

Like offer a % boost to blocking and cost reduce per peice rather than losing entire buff if you wear 4 pc
On medium add like 3% weapon dmg per peice etc
Same with spell penetration.

This would allow more mixed gear builds like a somewhat tanky dps or more viable battle mage running like 4/3 gear sets it would allow more build diversity and still follow the give and take style of armor passives just not so extremely limiting. I mean really I took off my shoulder armor where did I lose 12% weapon dmg did my shoulders fire rockets or lasers? Did I lose spell penetration because I took off my glove and became self conscious about a mole on my wrist. Take off my girdle and lost ability to hold pants up so I lost my block ability?

    Ideally I'd like 4pc medium three heavy and be a offensive semi tanky berserker or a three heavy 4 light battle mage

    Thanks for starting this Thread!

    But let me make suggestions on that!

    DONT remove 5pc Bonus, just let them add much more than only using 4pc etc.

    More like this:
    1pc = 1,0%
    2pc = 2,5%
    3pc = 3,5%
    4pc = 5,0%
    5pc = 10,0%


    Idea:
    5 piece Bonus still Existing, but player decides if he Needs The 10% Bonus or is okay with 5% Bonus, so he can use 3pc of Something Else to better Control The Direction, his Character is Going.

    Maybe I was just saying if they kept the perk but got rid of requiring a set number we can do as we please also raising the cap of how much we can block penetrate or wep dmg for those solid 7 pc types but have it so they can his harder but be hit harder hybrids can deal not quite as much but survive more great for multitaskers or solo players slao be a plus for crafters making gear and comboing with passives

    Good post !

    Why this forced choice for 5 pc sets?
    Why not a gliding scale stepwise per piece?
    For 1-7 pieces: no treshold of 5 & no cap at 5.
    Is also a kind of compensation for taking away in the IC patch the 5-5-2 armor set up at Vet 16 level with no new Jewelry sets of 5.

    Light armor has 3 passives that are "per piece" and 2 that require 5 pieces.

    Medium and heavy have 4 passives that are "per piece" and 1 that require 5 pieces.

    It's fine the way it is, seriously.

    I agree with the OP. A bonus par piece is clearely better for mixed builds, with a bonus up to 7 pieces. Example :
    MA : 2% more weapon dmg/pc equiped
    HA : 3% reduction blocking cost/pc equiped (even if i think the HA bonus should better be flat dmg mitigation)
    LA : +X% pen/piece (i don't have numbers of LA in mind here)

    The principe is that if you go for a 7pc armor in any type, you have a lil more bonus than the 5pc static buff but with this system you can have more diversity of build i.e 3HA, 2LA and 2MA for a balanced warrior, or 4HA/3LA for a magicka tank and so on

    Exactly diversity is the idea a solid typer gets more dmg block or pen but a mixed armor wearer can gain more defenses or recoveries as a trade up.rather than losing all of their armor functionality because they took their gloves off to wash their hands even better tweak the champion passive to increase defenses of the armor types rather than for 5pc. But as a start just getting the 5pc passive would be a godsend

    I agree fully, more options is better for diversity.
