Tank Darklight Armor.... Really?!

[PSxpert2011]

I agree with OP. It's kinda ugly and doesn't have any other variations of design. It's essentially "TANK gear", so it's like climbing into a tank to serve that function... the bottom is legs+feet and the top is body+head(w/o the option of making the head invisible?). Needs some work for real, i really avoid this gear even if I was returning to my pld or war.

I haven't done the math(god I hate it) but does the stats really mean better if you divided by 4 than from other individual gear?



You can just sense the DEVs designing a body piece that says," climb in, but you can't equip head, hands, legs or feet".


Well now i know where they got the bird-looking head piece from. It's original medieval armor.

OH now, don't get me wrong. I got the reference. I even took an Art History Course in Arms and Armor. It just breaks with the rest of the game too much as a FANTASY game, especially with the lack of effort put into it.

Am I the only one upset with the tank darklight armor in every way?

1. They did very little to differentiate it from the armor you get while leveling up; "just strap on two blades to the back of the head and were good right?"

2. It looks bad, really bad. They took the worse looking armor in the game and somehow made it look even worse! (Not that hard though to be honest.)

3. It costs too dam much because they are sold in chest/head combo and leg/feet combo. Its a lot easier to buy a piece at 495 than to have to wait till you get 1320.

This in itself is unfair and should demand a re-design to the armor.

We need this changed.

1.) in 1.0 you had Heavy Darklight Armor and the Heavy Darksteel for pieces that covered 2 slots (head and body) (pants and feet). The Heavy Flanchard actually wasn't that good stats wise, while the Body piece had +45 enmity which was great. Not to mention how rare of a drop it was so when you got it, everyone wanted to see.
2.) subjective but I'm a Lalafell and we make everything look good.
3.) It may cost a lot but people are already spamming AK/WP for myths so they go ahead and get it anyways lol.

The worst part about the head isn't the ridiculous fins that instantly made me feel like a late 50s Cadillac.

It's not that it's the same armor I got at level 25 for my job quest, spray painted black with a red cross on the knees / shoulder.

It's not even the fact that I just don't care for that heavy model nearly as much as I do, say, the model the the base bronze armor set is based on...

It's the fact that somehow, some armor smith out there is cranking out full body armor with a nonfunctional neck. My tank is either aiming via echolocation while staring off to the right, or he's looking through his left earhole inside his immobile suit of armor.

This, this and more of this.

No, because you're a tank. You get instant queues, and can farm up 1320 in half the time it takes a DPS to get 825. Deal with it.

I sense much bitterness in this one.....

And what justification is there that the spell caster's must put up with the same stupidity for their upper armor?

You're a DPS, you have the most carefree role of any group. You aren't expected to lead, hell you aren't even responsible for anyone but yourself.

Long que times? Learn to group with others or join a functioning FC.

LOL really? Does anyone smell a troll?

would you like to say that to the legions of casters who also have this problem?
