Drop chance of exactly 0%

Not even exactly 0%. Negative 100%. You are guaranteed to never get one.

To sum up the light issue:
The lvl300+ VIP/IRC crowd pestered Safari Pony enough to remove Wis/Int from light, because they felt it was trolling when they didn't get perfect LMAX PABs for their style of play.

Sounds like those kids who'd complain when they didn't get all 18's for their D&D characters...

Seriously, things like this should never be allowed to happen. Absolutely fucking horrible. I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that anymore. If Tenboro wants to make hybrid builds possible he should start from scratch and design a new armor type (or make large changes to arcanist). Intelligence/wisdom on light armor was a huge nerf for light melee and one of the reasons it couldn't compete with heavy. Awesome decision by TenB, imo.

I don't really care about Light armor; still —

The irony of this post is pretty amusing. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I never once saw a post asking for the removal of Int/Wis from light armor. The change will definitely make good light more common to drop. A hybrid mage/melee really isn't good regardless if you can kill things or not. You may like it, that doesn't make it efficient. You might think it's more fun, that doesn't mean it is supported.

If you ask me Arcanist Suffix should come with Mana Conservation AND a + turns for Spells making it a really good alternative.

Never happened as far as I know. The closest would be people complaining that their legendary shade of shadowdancer has 4 pabs and 2 of them are int and wis. Also, the analogy fits more you(trying to both melee and mage) than light armor guys(who dump int and wis).

11 6 You are Victorious!
11 5 Akroma has been defeated.
10 1 Akroma parries your attack.

Fuck both parry and evade, I have my 5 stack Overwhelming Strikes.

Do you really hybrid? I gave it up back when I was level 40 because 2-handed weapons are AoE by clicking.

If you ask me Arcanist Suffix should come with Mana Conservation

Lowered Interference doesn't count as Mana Conservation?

thats not enough (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I like the new tweak for Divine and Forbidden, but meanwhile it takes up more AP and MP

My 1H counterattack chance doesn't seem to budge from 56% even after boosting Dex by a good 9 points. Should I be leveling a different stat for this?

I had a sleep on it, and I am coming around to your POV.


However I am still going to seek out some legacy kevlar with awesome 5PAB rolls for eventual future forging so I can be a stupid, insane bastard.

Is the monster gifting the same in this patch as last patch? ie, some formula involving time and monster kills? I am getting bindings, but haven't seen any rare items, like phazons, fragments, actuators.

When did this happen? I didn't even notice the GP before.

The 0.76.i . (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) The .i brings the GP~

Well, there has been some awesome 5/6 PAB light armor before, like I said I have 3 such pieces in my set which I wouldn't replace for anything but a legendary with good rolls. It's just the troll factor was way too high with those PABs present. It's already difficult enough to find decent shade, in fact, none of my shade comes from my own drops, and I probably play more rounds on IWBTH than most players.

I think you would have much better luck going after current agile and reinforced leather pieces. Leather drops more frequently than kevlar did and it's much easier to find pieces with the four main PABs. Also, the more I study leather of protection the more I am pretty sure it has the same PMI rolls as kevlar (still waiting for skillchip to update the wiki on this one though).

I wonder if it also affected the random hourlies. I used to mostly get 10 monsters. Now every time I fight an hourly, it is 5.

Well, I'm a bit more rested now and I suppose you have a point. I guess. It was just more of a shock. I do hope that something will emerge in the future that makes hybrid "supported" since it apparently is not. Actually, I just wish there were more varied armor types with different benefits/drawbacks.

You might think it's more fun, that doesn't mean it is supported.

Yeah, the Battlecaster suffix sure fooled me. The fact that Light gave bonus HP/MP and other factors seemed to point towards hybrid possibilities.

Do you really hybrid? I gave it up back when I was level 40 because 2-handed weapons are AoE by clicking.

I was working towards it and had managed to get it working reasonably well with DW. The clicking gets boring and I thought it was nice to be able to use spells when I got a bunch of mobs who had the same weakness. Combine it with elemental/holy/dark weapon and Spike Shield that procs the correct debuff, you could do decent damage. Like I said, I haven't been able to try it out post-patch since I've lost all my T3 and most of my T2 spells. Also, the loss of my elemental/holy/dark mitigations from ability points hurts, alot.

Never happened as far as I know. The closest would be people complaining that their legendary shade of shadowdancer has 4 pabs and 2 of them are int and wis. Also, the analogy fits more you(trying to both melee and mage) than light armor guys(who dump int and wis).

Well, if it was wanting 14's then it would be more valid. I've never really cared all that much about having max PABs, but if you get all 5 pieces of armor with decent spreads over 5 PABs, you won't be totally screwed in either battle or magic department.

awesome 5/6 PAB light armor[...] like I said I have 3 such pieces in my set

I'm going to be honest. I have a problem. I have an addiction... for 5/6 PAB armor.
