Doubtful, most are just going to mark their old fullplate since that's probably the best option right now.

It's a downgrade from best in the game to still best in the game but not quite so high.

I was just telling someone that as a heavily artifacted omnitrans demigod Spiritsinger, I still can't tank as much as I did as a level 83 Stag Serenguard with no artifacts but pipes, and only Knighthood transed. (With a divine favor, though, I come out about even.)

i just forged a 92/92 smile.gif there is hope!
Karnagan2008-07-14 19:25:51
Can we at least wear this personal Master Armour in the event we forget the Forging skill? Or will that not be considered possible?
Desitrus2008-07-14 20:32:34
It goes higher than 92/92 as well.

Here's the question with that though. If people already spent a ton of time to get their fullplate to its maximum dual stats why was it lowered to below the maximum forcing them to again spend a ton of time to get it back to the new maximum? That seems rather off honestly.

We were asked what "good" field plate stats were, and as I remember, the answer they were given by a smith was 90/90.

Honestly, how much of a difference can 100/100 and 102/102 make. This is probably the lazy forger attitude coming through again, but why bother?
Unknown2008-07-15 00:30:12
It's the forgers e-peen contest, you dont get it cuz your a gurl, why get 110 speed Nekai/shofa, the 1 point doens't make that much difference. It's all about the bragging rights. You can say, I have a 100/100 set of marked plate that I worked on for a few days, someone else might go, I have a set of 103/103 which took me a week.

Huh? I thought 110 speed shofa made a lot of difference. Or was that part sarcastic or something?
Unknown2008-07-15 00:55:31
Pretty sure the difference from having a pair of 109 speed shofa to a pair of 110 speed shofa isn't that great, there is probably some difference but not a large one.

For me, it's under a second, they are almost right on, but it slows me down just enough to annoy me.
Kelysa2008-07-15 01:11:37
With monk weapons isn't it about timing them so they're just as fast as your kick or something?

This can't happen. Kicks are designed specifically to be faster than the fastest shofa so the speed stat matters. On the test server pre-Shofangi it was like that though.

I am pretty sure kicks are slower than 135 speed shofas.
Shiri2008-07-15 01:25:05
Hm. It's possible that the kephera/illithoid bonus wasn't factored in since it didn't exist when this stuff was being tested - it could be that the highest speed shofa were riiight up to the line.
Kelysa2008-07-15 01:30:52
Hm! I thought someone mentioned once that they had accidentally made their weapon too fast and it couldn't go any faster than their kick (This may have been with runes?) Just was curious anyhow.
Shiri2008-07-15 01:36:05
It was probably with kephera/illithoid and runes if so.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. Wonder if that sap nerf is gonna happen.

I'm surprised even though I emailed the report.
