Damage Reduction Armor

The Silverbone is the one I'm referring to.

This armor is -wickedly- overpowered. It makes taking classes like DD or Barb. pointless. I mean what's the point of taking 10 levels of DD when you could just put on some armor which overides it for 4 more DR then it provides.

This armor allows for 20 damage reduction when paired with the ammy of diamonds. Now I know that +5 weapons pass through it but the diamond amulet pretty much snuffs out any +5 weapons usefulness as it has 10/- and you're trying to use a d4 weapon against it.

I say either remove silverbone or make it 5/+5 as 10/+5 is makes the DD class completely pointless. (I mean who really stands around when the DD goes into stance anyway?)

Well, DD's should be able to move when using stance. If that is possible.

LMAO i get that alot ask A95 hes the worst ive seen so far

people make meele chars and when i come along with DFL and use stance when im being ganged 4 on 1 A95 and everyone else starts to run away and comming back to attack me then run away agian so i cant hit them

WHY MAKE A MEELE CHAR IF ALL YOU GOING TO DO IS RUN AND USE IT LIKE A SNEAK!!!

and then some noob turns round and says to me all because we are not fighting how you want us to

well if you were in my position i would think you be thinking the same thinking *cough*d*ck*cough*

if you make a meele char and all they are going to do is run you might aswell bring in a sneak or a mage then i can see why your running but running from somone who cant move and then taking cheap shots at him come on

then i was going to bring on test tube and A95 was all like

dude whatever you bring on i can counter it (thinking hes all that)

all i said was atleast hes a char that doesnt use DD stance so then you cant run away and then start taking cheap shots at him since 4 chars cant take on DFL at the same time thats the only reason why they abuse the DD stance

*cough*NOOBS*cough*

yes i think so i used it on DFL agianst you and other people seem to stack pretty well for me lol

Well I use +5 weapons so I wouldn't have noticed.

AntiChristMofo · Post by **AntiChristMofo** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 9:41 am

yer thats true but i think i had enough money to buy a +5amy with DR on it anyway for you i think but if i am right i think it does stack tho

Silverbone is reduction, diamond is resistance...or the other way around, it doens't matter. They are 2 different types so they both stack. Turns into 20 dr which removes the purpose to taking the DD class.

DD is -6/ so it blocks +5 weapons, even if the armor and it don't stack, the +5 weapon works. This armor has already been reduced from +5/15, it's 108k..

There isn't a problem with it, since every class can buy a +5 dagger for less than half the cost of the armor.

i thought silverbone was lvl 21 req and it was sposed to be removed anyway. or was that the otehr heavy armor?

dragon armour is godly its lvl 21 it costs a bomb and is very poerfull

Every class can buy +5 but then they can't do enough damage to get over the 10/-. It's a massive DR boost and makes classes which don't rely on physical damage (such as paladins and clerics) have a massive upperhand compared to those which do.

I just don't think every melee should be able to reduce damage by 20. Barbarians and DD's were the ones meant for DR, not all the others.

yes but how many ppl actually have over 110k to spend on armor and still afford all their other equipment? not many except for a few lvl 20s that have hundreds of hours on them.

I don't think anyone has the cash to buy it. Anyone that does would have to sac a bunch of gear and maybe their Big Evil Weapon +3 (y'know, the one that does 1d4 damage, is Keen, and has a +3 Enhancement bonus?) to get that sucker.
