Leather Armour Problems
Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2018 3:22 pm
What're everyone's thoughts on leather armour in classic mud? It stops at Dragon Armour (white, black, red, blue, and green) and they are not up to par. They all very in encumbrance, AC, and DR in ways that just don't make sense. I play on an edited mud and I hope that the sysop there makes some changes to the leather armour, but if not, at least I have been able to make do with the rotted worm skin since there are no lims.
I find the various dragon armours to be a bit odd. I'm not sure why Bliz decided to do it this way-
(total suit states if someone has the full sets)
(Level 35)
White: 35/6.6
(Level 40)
Black: 39/5.6
(Level 45)
Red: 42/5.8
Blue: 45/6.9
Green: 48/4
Now why does the level 35 have the second highest DR while Green, the one with the highest AC have the lowest DR?
Suggesting the following changes:
White Dragon Armor: 35/4
Green Dragon armor: 50/13 (and changed to level 50)
Red Dragon Armor: Possibly changed to match the AC of Blue Dragon Armour? They're the same level and yet Red is inferior. Let them be the same encumbrance and only differ in elemental protection.
Ideas? Something needs to be done- leather wearers suffer a lot at higher levels. I'm running a lvl 49 Druid and a 46 Bard. The druid does all right since he has Blue Dragon Armour and Rotted Worm Skin coupled with Stoneskin spell. The bard is using Evasion and Blue Dragon Armour and often gets beaten down by Hill Giants.
I'm working on getting him his own Rotted Worm Skin.
