Any thoughts on bringing impen as a mudus stone or adding it to one of the weaker, lessor used mundus stone (s). This would be neat theory crafting for twice born star users. It would be nice to have one gear for pvp and pve. Any thoughts?

    from what i'v gathered the Armor one is still barely used (The Lady) as well as the HP one (The Lord), could give the lord 10% player damage resistance and the lady 10% AoE resistance

    Whats the deal with impen? I dont get why its in such high demand atm?

    220 resistance to a critical hit. Can anyone explain this to me.

    Considering your spell/physical resistance should be atleast 10,000, whats 220 extra crit resistance?

    Look at this doc created by Crown it lowers the crit damage you receive by a good amount read it and you might see why a lot of PVPers well mainly Stan builds are running full Impen.

    Don't worry, The "impenetrable Hype" always occurs when the gank builds are at high demand ... it's a natural cycle, now with magicka DKs having a Go again, and most nightblades using zerg wiping builds, they will return to the good old 3 Inf/ 4 Divines / weps sharp. Just enjoy this phase of the meta to sell traits. ( and stock on nirn while you still can )

    No need to change the mundus stone bonuses further.

    tbh we should be improving useful mundas stones to put them in line of choice rather than brushing them aside. just look at my point above. Lord and Lady are rarely used in or out of pvp

    Don't make the divines trait even more OP.

    You want impen?
    Get impen trait gear.

    Or maybe they know what it actually does, how important it is and the difference it makes.

    Each impenetrable piece reduces crit dmg by roughly 4%, multiply that with 7 pieces and you take 28% less dmg from crits.

    Most dmg builds have around 42% crit rating, these players will do roughly 12% less dmg if you wear full impen.

    Spam absorb shields and crits will be useless.

    I rock 72% crit and 3200 damage. Surely a 2h defending weapon @12% overall reduction is the same thing? Whilst still allowing you to maintain all Divines and go for more power at the same time?

    the defending is more like 7%, but add that on top of impen and a few CP points for good measure and you'll be able to soak quite a bit of burst, especially with a beefier build

    it's not 12% more reduction. It's a 12% incresed armor and Spellresist-rating. So you get less than 6% increased defense. Capped Resistance is at 50%, 12% more would be 6%, but then it's useless bc you are over the Cap. If you want to go full burst, sharpened/precise + divines should be better...impen + sharpened for group play (or nirn weapons for magicka-builds).
