No Worries unnerf?

[TitusOvid]

Hey all,
hello SSG,
I don't know if some still remember this but I do. It was a huge discussion. And some players hoped this would be addressed this year. It might have fallen under the radar with the big Update 45 but is it still possible that SSG looks over this and adjusts it? Lynn maybe since you are the go-to-girl for loot apparently?

Cheers,
Titus

On one hand:

Yawn?

On the other hand:

I agree with this premise and I fully approve the nerf.

However, if the mentioned numbers are correct (10AC), these are not level appropriate stats for heavy armor. I would like to point at https://ddowiki.com/page/Armor_by_Pr...f_Plate_Armors.

AML4 Battle Plate has 12 base AC without enhancements, add +2 enhancement bonus for +14.
AML4 Battle Half Plate has 10 base AC without enhancements, add +2 enhancement bonus for +12.

AML10 Magecraft plates have base AC 16 (or 13 for halfplates), add +4 enh.bonus for +20 / +17.

This unfortunate failure to stat low-ML armors properly is not new, other recent examples are Cavalry Plate (missing 4 AC compared to a battle plate) or Deneith Heavy Chain (formerly mithral medium armor which now has the low max dex bonus of a battle plate (+1) but not the AC (+8 base vs +12))

This armor can only be acquired during a small time window each year, making it special. At least having it level-appropriate would be nice.

These limited-time events are great places for new players to grind out some decent gear. (Mabar and Crystal Cove helped me equip my characters a bit better back in my noob days.) This full plate used to be something quite nice for new players to farm up so they could take less damage in quests.
