Weekly Discussion 48: Dark Armor!

Actually boosting NE resistance is an extremely moot point since it's so damned rare, but I could get behind it because it would thematically make a lot of sense. I don't understand why DA isn't the king of NE resistance. It really should be by a large margin, not a small bit (as it is). I think this wouldn't be a change that actually hurt anything. 

 

I rather think sometime in the future we might see a psionic based armor, and it should be the king of psi resistance, not dark. 

A fire creature being resistant to fire and a cold creature being resistant to cold make sense. A dark creature being only moderately resistant to dark can make sense if we view it through the lens of "like affecting like". I mean, if a regular person can't punch a ghost but a ghost can punch a ghost then it makes thematic sense. It isn't consistent with the logic behind the elemental sets but it's "negative energy", it doesn't have to make the same kind of sense.

So . . . thread hasn't been locked, yet . . . there's still time to get the last of your discussions in, if there are any pressing bits to hammer out, folks!

 

 

(just watch . . . GM Miss is totally going to lock this moments after I post this and make me look like a fool . . . )

 

(Well.  More of a fool than usual, rather.  Let us do be fair.)

Doing a total 180 from the rest of my posts here, I figured I'd share what feels like a "success story" build! It leans HARD into theme, and hits some solid numbers to boot. Note that I haven't actually run this yet, but I fully intend to respec my Dark/Savage tanker into this once I shop for the pieces I have never ever ever bought before (with the intent to keep, anyway).

 

FWIW, I don't see this as invalidating the idea that DA could do with a revamp. This is a pretty unconventional approach with a number of very deliberate choices made in the service of patching the energy hole and addressing end use (i's still heavier on end than I'd like, tho Cardiac - not toggled below - does help some).

I'm not really contributing to the discussion when I ask this . . . but has this been the biggest Weekly Discussion for the forums so far?  Feels like it, anyway.

I think it beat PVP which was the longest on the forums I'm pretty sure!
