Confirmation on getting extra damage penalty when wearing 3 of the same type of armor (Cloth/Leather/Plate)

General Discussion
#1

So I’d like to know if this is intended because from my observation, it seems that even wearing just 3 pieces of armors that are of the same type will make you suffer extra damage from what it is weak at
Example:
Strike :hammer: Plate
Pierce :knife: Leather
Slash :wind_chime: Cloth

So yeah, why is this a thing? Cause if those wearing at least 3 pieces of the same type of armor still suffers the full +50% penalty to the damage type their armor is weak against then there’s not much point in wearing just 3 pieces now is there?

I’d like to also gather the opinion of people regarding this as I may suggest later that they should reduce that penalty if the player is just wearing 3 pieces of the same type of armor for the mastery bonus.

EDIT: Solved because it seems only the top armor counts when it comes to determining the damage type penalty.

iirc the only thing that matters in the damage calculation is the top armor. That one will decide on from which attacks you receive more damage and suffer less damage from.

As long as you wear the top piece you suffer from penalty. That’s why there’s a thing called Banshee Veil, look it up :wink:

Anyone tested does banshee veil +50% damage penalty by magic? Since ghost mobs are actually weak to magic.

Thank you for this nice piece of info! :smiley:

@thailehuy Me Gusta Man that banshee veil looks like it would be very useful to my mage alt @_@

@roflmaopapa Sounds like a good thing to try but at the same time, tough luck. I wonder how many actually has that armor ._.

#6

It’s actually +100%. Ghost form receive 200% damage from magic.

#7

Also would like to know this for mechanics discussion purposes.

#8

Who drops Banshee Veil? I’d like to find out that, too…
Though in theory it should give more damage from magic

#9

Does that mean you lose your property of being Humanoid with that armor? or do you retain both sub-types?

No wonder my leather Cafrisun set archer gets one-shotted by those archers in the 115 dungeon. :frowning:
