Armor is too weak
" No HP just wouldnt be OP and why cant you tank with 50 000 armour boss with 3 k HP but only people having 10 k hp what the hell is the point of armour oh to protect me against normal enemies THATS so useless. And since u like balance where everyone has to build around HP why bother with evasion armor ! Dernière édition par Azurllan#3411, le 6 août 2013 à 06:55:53

" Now do it without Energy shield + Vaal Pact. IGN @Ostropalca

I don't use Vaal pact and only pieces where i get ES is my shield (134), Chest (247), Boots (158 200% rainbowstrides)
And why on earth would i do ? Aegis Aurora refreshes ES from every block, based on your overall armour, so what's the catch ? Using AA with 0 ES ? Sounds good but not possible as AA gives that 134 already and it's the item what this build is built around. Dernière édition par Juhazzz#5503, le 6 août 2013 à 07:26:38

Ok, you proved that armor works well with Aegis Aurora.
Does it prove it works well without it? IGN @Ostropalca

Point of this topic seems to me, that it's useless to have in any case, just shared my opinion that it is not, if you know what you're doing aka. saw a guide on Marauder forum and copied it almost totally lol.. I have played only with AA in offhand as it seems to me that it's the only really good shield for tanky build.
And a bit more on the ES thing, i'd change my boots into some 800+ armour or evasion ones any day, if there was possibility to get spell block from some other boots than Rainbowstrides :) |

" Exactly. So it is not that armour is strong enough for tanks, it is that AA is strong enough for tanks. And armour itself is not. After dexterity and evasion changes, armour became the worst type of reducing damage taken. And I agree it could get some look at. IGN @Ostropalca

" So wrong. You are supposed to tank Vaal Smash bu under the cost of heavily speccing into it. Spell Block and Spell Dodge are your best friends vs Vaal :D Unarmed for life! (although I do like maces too recently)

Armour is not too weak, it is in fact too strong against the vast majority of damage.
If you stack enough armour in conjunction with Endurance Charges you become pretty much immune to 95% of physical damage. The problem is that spike damage is way out of proportion with normal damage. I've said it before and I'm going to say it again, life leech and sustain is effectively infinite so the only way to make a fight "difficult" is with retardedly high spike damage that will one shot players. So armour being "weak" against Vaal smash and so on is by design, it is like that because if it wasn't the near unkillable would become completely immortal. The balance between damage, healing, health and mitigation is just fundamentally broken. |

So i discovered 1 thing works in this game and thats ALOT HP and nohing else which is great isnt it lets make HP builds since armor without endurance or anything else helps u against enemies which aint hard but hard enemies like to ignore that advantage against such enemies advantage should work best and reflect is anti DPS.
So total builds are all around HP built whatever nice move! |
