Light Armour Heirlooms

[Armbrust_Schtze]

dont cry, if you love an armor you loom it, no matter it only brings +4 armor.

ps: my hardened blue hose is awesome.

also think that this 3 armor dont give to agi/ranged charcters really much, all what we need is 40 armor +-5 from armor and gloves to survive arbalest shoot from distance.

ive yet to see a good argument against giving light armour the same loom benefit as every other armour... the best light armour will still give less body armour than the worst medium armour even if you get +7 to the light from looming. so stop this needless hate against light armours... give a tiny bit more incentive not to run around in a tin can suit.

Light armor already is a better choice than medium/heavy armor for overall convenience. It doesn't need that.

yeah cause you know, 99% of level 25+ chars dont roll around in tunic over mail or better... obviously light armour is amazing and thats why its so popular that 1% of higher level chars use it. maybe less than 1% if you dont include joke builds and STFs who spent all their 10k on a wep... oh and take archers out of considering and you are left with even less...

btw i also dont loom my body armor(padded armor) because dont want to spend 3 gen for this, i will just go lvl 31+ earn some gold and maybe buy it later or loom points.

I also know some guys with 3x loomed light armour.

Don't know if it's worth it, they say yes, I don't agree. I think it doesn't make much difference as an archer whether you have 25 or 28 body armour, you are still 1-2 hit kill^^

But light armours shouldn't get +7 with 3rd loom. That's why they are light ;)

Khergit Lamellar Vest, weighing 4.5 pounds more than Studded Leather Coat (heaviest armor to get Reinforced), gets the Lordly bonus. Meanwhile, Peasant Dress, weighing 4.5 pounds less than Studded Leather Coat gets exactly the same bonus as it. Seems off to me somehow. Same weight difference between Studded Leather Coat/Peasant Dress and Studded Leather Coat/Khergit Lamellar Vest, yet the Dress gets exactly the same armor bonus as the Leather. This also goes upwards, with the 20 LB armors getting the same bonus as a Khergit Lamellar Vest instead of a yet greater one based on weight.

obviously whoever is responsible for fucking over light armour is racist and hates people who have the balls not to prance around in metal armour.

i petition we change the name of the heirloom stages for light armour...

examples...

Hardened vomit stained Blue Gambeson: 22armour
Padded toilet paper Blue Gambeson: 23 armour
Piece of Cloth wrapped around Blue Gambeson: 25armour

Honestly, rather than more armor I'd like to see light armor get lighter with loom points. Heavy armor is about brute protection, light armor is about keeping speed so what if each loom point dropped weight?

I'm thinking .25, .25 .5 for a total of 1 pound dropped off most light armors.

To beat people to the punch, yes 1 pound of weight is significant to the point of being noticeable (at least in terms of running).

Totally agree. Currently it doesn't make much sense.

i  agree as well

i understand why certain weapon have stat differences in their looms, some require weight to be effective or speed best off their natural purpose (like blunt and axe require more weight while a sword requires more speed for example)


but armor is all the same they have one purpose....to protect you

there IS a sacrifice for protection vs speed but looms should be the same for armor seeing how ALL armor has the same purpose just some reflect speed while others reflect sheer protection therefore the wearer looses speed
