Maintenance for the week of May 11:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – May 11

"PvEers" get 7 times more Undaunted chests than "PvPers" get of Undaunted vendors.

And that is per character. We get one vendor per week period where they get one key per day per character.

And it's a coin toss as to whether our vendor will sell a shoulder or a helm each week.

So tell me again why Impenetrable was removed from the Undaunted chest loot table @ZOS_JessicaFolsom


Edit: I heard that they may have taken impen out of the loot tables for the dungeon helm drops too. Is this true????? Are we just not supposed to be able to get gear now?

    PvPers use impen on everything. It's basically mandatory with few exceptions.

    Remove item binding, remove the dumb NPC selling PvE items, bring back the old cross PvE/PvP trade from before undaunted happened.

    Stop pushing the two communities apart and start working on your launch goals of keeping them together trading and helping one another in various ways.

    Impenetrable is gargage. I'm a "hardcore" PVPer. Do you know what my crit resistance is? 68, because I have 1 CP into it.

    90% of the time the best defense is a good offense. I run all infused and melt faces. I one shot an Emp last week.

    This, of course, is where someone will tell me that whatever example I use isn't a good judge of how good you are at PVP, so I'll just reiterate that you don't need impenetrable to survive and in the right hands infused can be great.

    This is a bit of an exaggeration in the sense that, yes PvE'ers will acquire more shoulders and helms per week. However, the number of available traits is drastically larger. Thus your chances of getting the piece you want is left to RNG whereas we are guaranteed best in slot.

    This. I run pledges pretty much every day. Want to know the trait I see the most dropped for me? Prosperous and Well-fitted. I was super happy to get a medium divines Bloodspawn helm this last time I ran Spindleclutch for the pledge. I'd been looking for MONTHS for that helm. So yes, you get more chances at getting a helm if you do it every day, but RNG is still a ***. Much more so now that they added more garbage traits to the drop chance.

    People have been running impen since 1.6 when damage was insane. It's not a "new meta".

    So its someone thinking all infused is the way to go for good offense that claims impenetrable to be total garbage.
    Thanks for confirming my thoughts. Impen is strong in PvP, and certainly better than full infused.

    Maybe we didn't play the same 1.6 but on EU 1.6 was full nirn unless you were wearing dropped and then it was infused/divines. Everybody was running full impen from 1.0 to 1.5 though, when it was reducing crit chances (and not crit damage). From my experience impen became popular again in 1.7 after nirn got nerfed to nothing.

    1.6? Way before then. Impen was the way to go when I started PVP in 1.3.

    In 1.6 and 2.0, I would say nirnhoned was more popular than impen.

    Impen was even more mandatory in the old days when it actually shut down your ability to crit at all which meant not only less damage but also fewer ultimates in an era when fights were decided on who could drop the most ults. There were a few months in 1.6 when people didn't use it because most people didn't understand the change that was made to it with 1.6, its by no means a new meta.

    well you're literally giving your opponents a free 25% crit modifier (it negates the _modifier_ directly, 1.5x -> 1.25x) in exchange for about 1000 of your main stat (7 infused). No argument you can make is possibly valid.

    The general rule if you don't run full impen is to run infused on big pieces especially if you use prismatic glyphs, that means impen on a shoulder is in fact 100% mandatory.

    Naturally, a 1 - 3% DPS boost (divines/infused) in PVE is better than nothing.

    Really depends of your build particularly what mundus tbf. 2-3 Divines is extremely strong if you go shadow for example, and well-fitted for solo stam builds is also a choice to consider (personally I never go without impen but I rarely go 7/7 impen aswell). But y agreed with OP undaunted keys should drop impen again. I mean just replace prosperous for impen in the loot table even PvErs rather have Impen than prosperous on their undaunted shoulder.
