With the new changes to regen (it now increases with the burning status)- will you be running heavy armor or light armor? Currently, I run 5l/1m/1h setup... but I'm actually contemplating 5h/1m/1l with Shacklebreaker, Innate, and Valkyn.
What are you thoughts? Do the heavy armor passives outweigh the light armor passives for your playstyle?

Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

✭✭✭Bursty (light) for BGs where damage matters and staying alive in heavy is hard. Heavy for OW, since I play solo and defense in light is awful.

I bet you're looking forward to the new heals coming out. I wonder if the new Eruption is going to be similar to Grand Healing (as you can have multiple circles up at once) or if it'll be active only in one area.Want to enjoy the game more?

✭Other: There's always an other.I experienced both playstyles for my magdk. Both light and heavy work very well in open world. But i always prefer to have some decent resistances, so when i am in light, i tend to wear some chudan or pirate skelly to make up for the resistances.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'm not a DK main. But I feel like heavy armor synergizes better with DK, because of the stamina restore that also works when blocking.Auri-El is my lord,

Want competitive pvp while being outnumbered? Tough luck, the devs clearly said you have to die in those situations2 -

Disagree. Yeah the damage loss in heavy is higher on a DK than any other class, but you can still build very high in heavy if you have a few tricks. I personally have 3.3k self buffed sd. 39.5k mag, and 4k pen on offense bar. This is with 28.5k health and 15.7k stam.MagDK main. PC/EU @AK-ESO

Indeed. I think, people expect heavy armor to offer the same damage as light armor, while offering more passive survival. This is of course not how it should be. There are ways to build for damage with heavy armor, altough heavy armor favors weapon damage aka stamina more than it favors magicka.
