    I think my new pvp sets will consist of Full plate set except the chest and leggings, the chest will be bone with a q4 feather enchant to help archery/magic.

    They just didn't mitigate physical damage like they should.  There wasn't enough payoff for wearing plate with its cost and encumbrance against archery and magic when you could wear scale instead.  This is a great change imo.

    I think it was a good thing. If you wear heavy armour, you are supposed be well protected from "physical" damage.

    And those who whine DF have no classes will also be a bit happier : )

     

    A question, weaponspeed? Small weapon = fast and big weapon = slower.     Have they done that already?

    If you wear dragon armor, which is worth more than most of cities, in full-loot game - it may give you some unfair advantages in 1vs1, and still noone will complain. Besides you can't repair your gear in DF - so you would be losing 100g worth of durability each time someone hits you with an arrow. Guy in dragon has seriously gimped ranged attacks - and still can be killed using arcane damage spells.

     

    Noone can tell if dragon armor is balanced or not.

    And noone really cares - it's like complaining that final raid boss in WoW can't be soloed.

    I like how they update things quickly in this game compared to alot of other games.

    Looks like a good change, the armor bit.

    Would like to know what's the reduced randomness effects on the spells mentioned.

    When ou say "physical damage" do you mean melee only? Or does it include archery and/or magic?
