Why should one wear havy armor

[Lichen]

In other words, plate is awesome if you roll 36/3 build

If you use a maul too. It'd be nice if heavier armor actually protected as you'd expect but I know that's too much to ask from other players NOT to whine when their sword isn't effective and useful against everything.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. All metal armour is heavy armour and is for bad players or siege. The purpose of armour is to allow you to survive more mistakes (or i guess more ranged shots which you cant do as much about... but maybe you should all be wonderful agi shielders hmm?). If you don't make lots of mistakes or frequently run around in a mass clump of players, then you shouldnt be crutching on armour (and if you frequently fight lots of players you should probably be a wonderful agi shielder).

moral of the story? everyone should roll 12-24 agi shielders with 8 shield skill huscarls... this would mean no more ranged because they would get raped all the time, and people would die in 1-2 mistakes and the game would be awesome. (and agi shielders can dodge horses pretty easy... so not a lot of horses either, and some could be hoplites, others would use axes and some would use swords)

Plate/Str crutchers remind me of the phrase "retard strength".  They can make many mistakes and get team hit a million times.  If they land one hit on you... then you are most likely dead or black barred.

But then you feel better because you realize that you are normal and they just have an extra chromosome.

Yeah I hate those strength crutchers. All trying to have a build that lets them survive longer...lame. They should just take out anything that lets you survive longer like shields. crpg needs to be non crutch so I recommend removing all gear and have punching only. Turn it into a boxing sim pls.
