Alkosh:

The Armor reduction portion of this set now scales off 100% of your Weapon Damage, up to a cap of 3000, rather than basing its value on damage done.

They REALLY don't want Tanks using this set anymore, huh?

    In the trash can it will go. At least I can go to something else now though. Probably Torug's again or Galenwe

    It never made sense as a tank set in the first place, tbh.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Earn it.

    IRL'ing for a while for assorted reasons, in forum, and in game.
    I am neither warm, nor fuzzy...
    Probably has checkbox on Customer Service profile that say High Aggro, 99% immunity to BS

    Worst change ever for Alkosh.
    What's the problem with a medium set that could be used by tanks?
    It's just less boring.

    I'm glad to see this change (and I say this as a tank that did their duty and farmed Alkosh).

    It's also useful in PvP now.

    Not efficiently on a Tank it's not.

    I'm lucky to break 1500 weapon damage on my Tank. Aka, HALF of the max 3000. So only 50% of the max armor reduction.

    Yes I definitely farmed it too and still typically run it 90% of the time. It won't compare to other sets like Galenwe or PA if that change stays. Even this patch though in single target fights I find Torugs to be more useful in certain situations.

    Its rarely used in mag compositions any longer anyways and I don't know about pc, but console is dominated by mag compositions.
    So looks like a rather irrelevant change as from first glance console mag meta in pve will continue.

    I suppose if it really ends up working out that way, it would be fine. Who knows what kind of bonuses we can get from the new CP system as well.

    My Tank won't be used to having that much Weapon Damage lol.
