-10% of damage on a havy armor parts

Iriidius✭✭✭✭✭Heavy armor is not the problem causing tank meta when even most tanks that heavy armor is made for in PvP prefer wearing medium armor.0 -

Heavy armor should give the same damage as medium armor because medium armor gives the same tankiness as heavy armor.Urzigurumash wrote: »So you love the 3 shot meta and want it reduced to two? No offense but you must be new here cuz this is like the 3rd most suggested change for PvP, presumably always by gankers
no i am not a new and i play bg 80% of the time so not ganker. You have not explained in any way why heavy armor should give the same damage as medium armor.
That is called balance.0 -

My suggestion is to add -10% damage to each piece of heavy armor in their debuffs. It doesn't affect PvE in any way. However, in PvP, it removes the ridiculous similarity in damage between medium and heavy armor. Alternatively, it can be used to remove the scaling reduction.
I like the idea, but I think the scale should be different. I'd say a 2% dps cut for each piece of heavy armor would be more than enough. So a tank with 7 heavy pieces would have 14% less dps, which might not sound like that much, but it's a ton. Also, most of us PvP mains only wear 1-3 pieces of heavy armor anyway.
it's too little. Your debuff will override buff from lithning stuff or Merciless Charge.
Yes 50% for 5 parts. m/l armor can be tanky no problem with it.
Heavy Armor doesn’t decrease incoming dmg by nearly 50% so shouldn’t decrease outgoing dmg by 50% additional to not having medium(/light) armor dmg passives that are already enaugh for most PvPer to use medium armor. 50% less damage would make heavy armor unuseable for anyone but pure tanks.
But as you say yourself you have no problem with medium/light armor beeing tanky like heavy armor it seems you just want destroy heavy armor not for balance but personally disliking it.

I don't know why would you want it nerfed, it's been gutted to the point of light armor providing more mitigation since heavy armor now has a penalty of 1% damage increase taken from magical sources, while in pvp almost all damage sources are magical
It's only good in groups because in organized scenario you'd want to have 38-40k HP and healing taken is more desirable since there will be a lot of cross heal, while in solo WPD from medium armor will provide more healingEdited by Prionyx on August 16, 2025 8:23AM0
