dark hunter has been designed around medium armour instead of the usual light armoured rangers
but due to dark hunters supporting trees being dex based light armoured 2 weapon fighting tempest and dex based light armoured ranged deepwood stalker which both have bonus ac, +max dex/dodge and +dodge enchantments to light armour in trees is there any reason to use medium armour?
maybe coat of the traveler since its very very powerful at its level (and even way higher named armour cant compete with it) would be the only reason but even that will get outclassed with light + some expenditure in the tempest/deepwood trees
-1 to armour check penalty per core is absolutely needed if going to be a trapper and aligns it with light armour for skill check purposes and the +10% to ac in medium is nice but is there enough support for medium armour? does it need more to make it viable vs light?
couple of tempest tree things were updated to include medium for dark hunters but should dark hunter tree itself have more support for medium?
im trying to use medium armour for rp reasons but finding light is just so much better or am i completely wrong here?
as a solo player having a full base attack melee with great ranged ability with trapping and a pet im really enjoying but just confused whether i should be using medium or light?
whats the point of the tier 3 +1/2/3 to use magic device? its not even a class skill?
also with the "class loot" option turned on for end rewards (yeah i know they suck anyway and continually give your falchion wielding fighter light crossbows, handwraps and spell powered staves as rewards sigh) dark hunter uses the ranger list and therefor you never ever even get offered a single piece of medium armour as reward. well my DH is now lvl 13.2 and hasnt been offered a single piece
which is another reason to avoid medium cause just due to the many light armours you will be offered as a reward over the DHs career there will just be a much greater chance that you will have better quality light armours than medium
the wolf why is it so determined to jump into lava? i know hirelings at the very best can be described as a little bit of a thickie but **** that wolf is above and beyond. theres been many times my character and hireling have looked at each other and the hireling has said "even im not that stupid......." as the wolf bounds off and disappears under lava to die, and it does that every. single. time.
