Armor skills

Hello everyone,
Here's an idea - armor skill should be available if you are wearing 5 piece of that specific armor. No shuffle nor Harness Magicka for heavy armor user.
It is only logical - those skills are related to armor itself, are they not? Medium armor user is agile and dodgy, he should be able to use shuffle, but heavy armor user should not benefit from medium armor skill.
Thoughts?

    I agree, it would force people to be a bit more flexible in their attempt to gain survivablity in PvP, but this would also force everyone except Nightblades to go Medium armor if they want to run Tava's Blessing for PvE Tanking. That or rely on healers using Gossamer for their Major Evasion.

    Hmm that is actually a smart suggestion. I currently use shuffle with heavy armor because of how hard it is to survive all the proc sets etc these days but I wouldn't mind going back to medium if it means heavy armor users can't use shuffle.

    Make it so that you have to be wearing 1 amour piece of the type to get the ability (much like you can't use Snipe on a 2H bar...) significantly decrease the strength of the base ability but as more pieces of the same type are added increase the effect significantly. So basically a 7 piece medium would be slightly stronger then Shuffle now, but a 5/1/1 heavy user would have a almost spam Shuffle to get a decent effect out of it.

    Not a bad idea either, would still allow those with 5-1-1 to use them all but in varying degrees, maybe even start to see more 5-2's out there in PvP for example for those that want to use two of them.

    Hist Bark and Spectre's Eye are also options.

    Change base evasion to 8%

    Every 1 medium piece you have adds 1% extra chance

    7 medium = 15% (the chance on pts)
    5 heavy / 2 medium = 10%

    5/1/1 mag builds = 9% (because shuffle on mag users is stupid, stamina can't use annulment)

    Current CP : 756+

    I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.


    RIP my effort to get 5x v16 characters...
