Arena Chest Gem Unveil/Discussion

[notfaded1]

I think Carapace has it spot in here. The development should be focused to benefit end game content and players. Twinking is sort of a side activity.

Actually we would like to know exactly how armor blocks scales with defending against damage. Like 1 armor reduces 3 hp damage? This way we can weigh the options.

I completely agree! Most of us that pve all the time are already daily frustrated by what pvp balancing does to pve... throw twink a balancing into equation and it's just that much worse! A couple people here got it right either don't even apply to non endgame at all or make is really scaled... ie. does little for lower levels and more for endgame. I mean let's be real here... lower level twinks can't even run arena o.O! This all started with how about some para drop in arena crates right?

The higher the armor goes, the more damage each point blocks. There's something on the works for this, should go up once Kali is less swamped from the tour of Arlor event.

Wow. If it scales on an exponential rate instead of a linear one that would be crazy. That way warriors will never die?

Based on concerns related to this, the armor amount scales per level, providing little to no benefit in regards to armor for lower level brackets.

Armor does not and i repeat does not affect low level pvp if the -/+ are only 20-70 *approx, IMO in level 13 if u dmg 50 somebody with 550 armor, then with -50 armor to 500 your dmg will be 50 -> 47 *approx - this is normal attack. I've notice even if my armor is whooping 600 some rog still crit me 500 same as with my armor as 511. Just no so sure about when it come to skills but i bet its the same scenario.

Its linear

Armor works like this:

Armor Value * (Armor Modifier by level of attack mob) = Damage Reduction

This modifier goes down as the level of the attacking mob goes up, so that more armor is needed to maintain Damage Reduction as the player moves into higher level content.

This passive is a multiplier on the Armor Value, so that a small change might not have a huge impact on Damage Reduction, but the higher the base Armor Value the player has the more this passive is worth. Therefore, this passive is way more effective for a warrior is max armor than it would be for a sorcerer in medium armor.

For example:

Warrior with 980 armor at level 21 vs. Sorcerer with 500 armor at level 21.

Warrior DR w/out passive - 980*.00047619 (attacking mobs modifier) = 46.6% DR
Sorcerer DR w/out passive - 500*.00047619 = 23.8% DR

Warrior DR w 4/5 passive - (980*1.04)*.00047619 = 48.5% DR
Sorcerer DR w 4/5 passive - (500*1.04)*.00047619 = 24.7% DR

This benefit will grow as armor values get higher, which is one of the reasons why this passive will probably never go beyond its 5% increase. It would just become too powerful over time.

There is chart of damage reduction per point of armor based on character leve (see blue line, red and green shows only possibly deviation):
