Everyone know that light armor has lower defend as it should be but less benefit to trade defend stat for it's bonus. Please considerate about balancing light armor.
#Light armor is too weak

everyone just uses heavy armour no point to wearing light perhaps if they added a glider suit to the meteoric tier of the armour that would balance it a bit but make it so you would have to wear a full set to be able to use the glider

As main crossbow yes it’s weak

:O, you guys can clearly just smash one button for saying this. Light armor is for the skilled players, HA for the facetank one click to win papegas. If you cant abuse the Mspeed on it, to kite avoid on being hit and the range bonus dmg, with bow javelins, well then I see where your problem on saying LA is weak comes from. The only downside it actualy has is that it SUCK ass on a horseback if you want to go lank. But you are not supposed to lance with LA in the first place if anything you use and shoot with your bow. As soon as you give it more defenses you will see unkilable archers killing you with a bow (already a thing), when you try to close the gap in HA. The kiting on it is insane on foot v foot you cant die.

I’m a bow main and I find light armor to be just fine. You get 20% more ranged damage and you can always run away from infantry lol. Not to mention 20% less blunt damage which is the most popular melee damage type right now. Those are significant LA benefits over HA and therefore a fair gap between their base armor stats isn’t unbalance.

LA i think is fine tbh i also run range fairly well with it u kinda need 2 always carry the anti horse fences thought since ull get destroyed by mounts but mounts destroy everyone who is on foot. This is especialy bad for crossbows 😦
Crossbows imo should get chance to dismount with heavy crossbow (Bypasses the cant be dismounted perk from riding 825) instead of the Root chance when shooting in the leg. This makes a counter for horses aswell as allow them too potentialy operate with mounts around

Everyone talk about range bow and keep kiting. But I could do horse archery with heavy armor too!! No MSP penalty but can’t be killed easily and only lose 20% bonus dmg. No matter armor you use it’s never affect your horse speed. Someone wanna talk big “Oh it’s skill issue” for Horseback archer like me that mostly survive because armor MSP penalty won’t affect horse speed. Just wear HA and survive the day is meta.

Everyone talk about range bow and keep kiting. But I could do horse archery with...
“Only 20% damage.”
You’re just theory crafting at this point and clearly have not tested this out.

He has a valid point nevertheless but i already said that la suck as as lanking in the end if you are using bow all that metters is your horse controll and speed so no clue what hes tryin to say here huh
tough kite
Horse archers are pretty bad against cavalry anyways. Horse archers are really only effective against infantry and at that point, you will want the light armor damage buff considering they won’t even hit you.
He simply has not tested this out enough.
Arrows just need to be cheaper and that’s really it in my opinion.
velvet isle
Agreed on the arrows part
To be honest horse archers are sick against lancers but only in a non laggy enviroment oppen world with the ping issue yes they suck

range is ass because of one simple thing.. PING. if you cant land a hit what brings you 1000% more dmg ..nothing. How often in the battlefield i shoot arrows in a mass of red textes and make 0 dmg because the arrow flies thrue the enemys...

Give heavy crossbows a chance to dismount people from horses on hit, makes a counter to mounted combat and then makes heavy armor and light armor a more viable option 😛
Heavy crossbows need a counter to mount too since it only usuable on foot so 2 birds with 1 stone here
Ammo just like 5 times to expensive atm though realy need to be like 25 arrows a craft at least for the higher recipes
