Those darn Tier 9 armor powers

[aethereal]

As usual when discussing this topic:

 

1. Armor sets don't really need a buff (in PvE).  You can be plenty invulnerable with Invulnerability.  Giving it another power that either made it more efficient to achieve invulnerability or gave it a spike of no-downsides additional mitigation isn't really warranted.

 

2.  The current crashing godmodes make the sets in PvP, and changing them to provide less of a bonus with less of a crash would probably nerf the sets in PvP.

For PvP the Tier 9 powers revert to their classic mode while in the PvP zones,  in PVE they run under the new rules.

They're useful in:

-Leveling 1-50

-Hardmode

-PvP

 

Remember, just because you don't have a use for them, doesn't mean other players aren't able to use them well.

Power crash on light form cuts health/stamina by 50%,  perma charging can help with the crash. Also light form carriers over to the other forms.

 

So basically Rad Armor suffers the least in terms of crash, but only runs for 60 seconds.    Peacebringer light form loses half health and stamina with the crash, but perma charging light form is easily done and can offset the crash

 

Perhaps, Invul, Ninjitsu, Energy Armor, Super Reflex, Electric and Rad could all have 3 minute duration, power crash drains health/stamina to 25%, cannot recover for 60 seconds. Recharge time remains the same?
