Hi all
New member hear.
I was thinking a war/ele axe/fire or ele/mo fire/smit for grouping dmg. And a mo/nec Enchanter/Death team. Is it possible to group the shrine boss's ? I also don't know what dmg max axe mastery and a gg axe dmg is !?
EDIT: NVM its hard to group the boss's. Thay don't walk much.
Quot "Lieutenant's (Not usable in Pre) Armor -20 (Non-Stacking)
Armor +20 (Vs. Elemental Damage)" Is it true that this will not work in pre ?
Are all insignias Stackable or do thay just apply to that peace of armor's base armor ?
EDIT again: Ok so if I was abule to grup them I thaink thay might do to much life/pipe degen. 2 of them have a skill that does that. No armor can help with this.

But I did not see much on all 4 the wiki's I use other than some of the pointers you gave me. Thank you for that  I may not understand literature to well. So it takes a lot longer for me to post(spell checking every 4 words on ave) a pub posting for every one who is not familiar with my lame literature communication. And I apologize for it. I forget if this means x > n. Does it mean less than n or other way around ? That's why I asked if armor has a cap bass armor rating. I also notice'd on presearing community the dates(updates) are in the order of day/month/year. I think. So I just wanted confirmation that the statement of the insignia's not working in pre are true. ty for all you'r time |

Hey there!
So basically the vanguard initiate locks your armour rating in at a set number depending on your level and profession
After testing the community has determined assuming the vanguard Initiate buff is active the following is true:
-Your base armour rating doesn't have an effect (starter armor vs collector armor wont change the damage you take)
-shield's armour rating also has no effect HOWEVER +armour vs (species) mods still seem to work, so charr shields are still popular
-insignias that add armour (eg: Blessed insignia) don't add armour when the Vanuard initiative buff is active.
-damage reduction still works fine, shields with -2 while in stance for example still work as they should, and so does a warrior's knight insignia and damage reduction rune.
-the last thing to note. The vanguard buff only works on enemies above level 5, not that it matters a lot but dont expect to be invincible in the catacombs or fighting skale or bandits.
Please anyone feel free to test those facts and correct me if maybe I remembered something wrong.

edit
lieutnants insignias should work in pre. problem is that they don t drop. think they were introduced with NF
RED does not count while under "Vanguard Initiate" (VI). VI basically replaces that type of armor and sets it to a certain value, depending on your class and lvl, which can t be raised, which is why insignias, that give you extra armor, are unpopular.
GREEN counts while under VI.
BLUE does not exist in pre.
as for what is capped and uncapped
Core = uncapped Bonus= capped at a max of 25 but can exceed 25 if 1 of those things is higher than 25.
Read "armor calculation" if you want to know more.
but that is unimportant in pre as you don t have skills that can send you over 25 bonus armor. highest should be 7 (on one hand weapon)+ 9 (on shield)
Armor calculation Categories Core armor, consisting of:
Basic armor,
Insignia,
Mysticism,
Base Shield armor, and
Inscriptions (actual inscriptions, not inherent mods that can be reproduced with inscriptions).
Bonus armor, consisting of:
All other weapon mods,
Inherent mods, including Unique (Green) item mods,
Non-skill effects (Consumables, Blessings and Titles), and
Almost all skills, with the exception of those in the Special armor category.
Any penalties from Cracked Armor.
Special armor, consisting of:
Bonuses: "I Am Unstoppable!", Illusionary Weaponry and Mantra of Signets, and Penalties: Critical hits, Barbed Arrows, Healing Signet, Shadowy Burden and the Flux effect Massive Damage. |
