Heavy gear

Baboonezz✭✭Heavy armor is in a good place, medium armor is what needs a damage buff. Don't believe me? Where are the heavy armor gankers then?Are jokes about poop anti-septic?0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Not really possible as a lot of max stam/mag and weapon/spell damage has nothing to do with armor, or very little.
Medium and Light do add, well medium is crit and weapon dmg and LA is penetration. At most, realistically, only 20% of all your damage comes from your type of armor choice, (I'd say on average less) so, as is, even disregarding ALL armor passives, you'll still maintain 80% of all potential damage.
You'd have to buff medium and Light (power creep) or rework the game's base mechanics. Nerfing heavy passives would make LA MA more appealing but wouldn't remove the possibility of HA and high damage.Edited by Waffennacht on March 28, 2017 2:59AM0 -
Alphaa✭✭✭I don't think people choose heavy armour govt the damage, they choose it to get away from being "1shot" by other builds.
I think they call it adapting?0
