Light Armor

For classes which have an option to choose armor mastery (Robes,Light,Heavy), Light Armor is somewhat lacking. It has lower PDEF than Heavy armor and it doesn't get any MP bonus like Robes give. I consider Light Armor as a hybrid of Heavy and Robes. Wouldn't it be appriopriate for Light Armor to have SOME MP bonus ? Not as much as robes, probably around half of it, just to make Light Armor a viable option for buffers,healers and dorfs :P

There are already (some) dwarves wearing light armours. The problem with them is that the evasion buffs were reduced with thought of the dagger and archer classes, leaving the hybrids in the dust. Fixing this would require mucking with evasion, not light armours.

There are also light armours which add to the MP poolalthough I believe only two or three of them.

There is, in my opinion, no need for a general improvement, but about half the sets should be geared towards casters with one of the many features that might be interesting to a caster in light:
- +WIT or other cast speed bonus
- +MEN or MP regeneration bonus
- +INT or MAtk bonus (of special interest to healers and orcs)
- MP
- Stun Resistance
- Weight Capacity
- Accuracy Increase

I believe light sets which shift stats from the physical to the arcane or vice versa would add a nice touch too.

All in all, I definitely agree that lights sets are made too much with physical damage-dealing classes and too little with all the other light wearers in mind.

Most WC i know as well as almost all summoners wear light armor, it has decent pdef while still maintaining good mp regen and ok cast speed.

Too bad light doesnt gives agility bonuces to shamans...
Then i would posibly be amming to PL set instead of FP as C grade mele armor.

As far as I understand, most orc mages only really see the choice between robes and heavy (with the exception of blue wolf light, the only real caster set in game).

Summoners do not count, as light armour is their sturdiest viable armour. They do not have a choice of wearing heavy, so light is the next best thing.

There will no doubt be more Robe Summoners in C4, as robes will then be superior for PvE survival.

My scavvy is running around in Reinforced Leather for added MP, pretty useful and I rarely solo with her.

Imagine running with a leather armor, then trying to run with a metal armor. Do you think you would run at the same speed with both ? No. All light armors should get a small boost in speed and maybe also attack speed, this is only realistic, and would make light armor a little bit better, the boost would of course be so small that there would be no "overpowering" cause of light armor just a little something to help light armor classes.

Because tanks need to be slower and silver rangers need to be faster.
:)

Help light armor classes... like archers? Oh ya, they aint overpowered yet...they dont kill others with one arrow, they actually need to run a bit. If light armors were given a boost, then using a bow would need to give a DEBUFF to speed. Say -40 speed for 5seconds every time you shoot with the bow.

This game is not realistic. Heavy on DE and Orc females is like wearing lingerie and a few padded pieces. Some lights look much more heavy on all those archers running around so they should weight more dont you think? Which weights more, metal bikinis or a leather bodysuit with plates?

Personally, I like the thongs on my SE.. and the chest accentuators.

DON'T TAKE AWAY MY WONDERBRA/bulletproof vest!

Hands up! Who else likes this?
[Hands go up furiously]

i do agree, silverrangers arent fast enough selfbuffed, i mean.. they are elven archers they need atleast 300 run speed!!!

OMG that is SO true. SRs need to run at like 400! Plus a skill called sticks and stones, which allows us SRs to pick up a stem and a thread and make it into a bow that will hit for 1m damage! lolz I love being SR
