Cracked Armor

this condition is obviously direct for classes with AR greater than 60. EotN is supposed to develop characters beyond lvl20 which could include increasing the AR of the classes, which i could see why a condition that lowers AR by 20 could be introduced.

Maybe Sundering will be changed to lengthen the duration of Cracked Armor...

You know, something a little more useful...

I highly doubt it, do +33% poison mods actually poison a target? No. The ability to knock out a condition without using a skill is far too overpowered, especially if its cracked armor. I extremely doubt sundering will cause cracked armor unless you use a skill to make it do it. As for the length of cracked armor, maybe a new weapon mod will make it last longer.

Its a junk condition. Its already pretty standard to prot spirit your front line war that uses frenzy. Just because his armor is lower he's still going to take the same amount of dmg.

It's a condition. Conditions get removed very easily and very often.
I don't see how it could be useful since its effect is minimal and such is not a priority to remove. As it cannot lower below 60 AL, it would be used primarily on warriors. But choosing between cracked and blind or weakness, what will you choose? Guessed it, not cracked.
Cracked armor need to lower armor by 20% whatever armor you have. On low armor it will not lower that much, on high it will be more powerful. The current state of this condition doesn't seem very attractive IMO.

Sundering should just be totally changed to an extension of the condition by 33%, to give this mod a (potential) use outside the market.

pretty stupid conditions imo
i would have rather liked to see them put their heads together for some new creative skills that no one else would have thought of

Agree that cracked armor sux big time, and word to blind or weakness> cracked armor on warriors. Realistically, how can a armor be repaired ( by remedy signet or whatever) once it's cracked after the duration expires? Makes no sense.

fine, lets rename condition(s) to "effect(s)" there problem solved.

Or maybe cracked armor is the CONDITION your armor is in.

You have to assume that monks will be able to remove this condition anyway, just as they can any other degen or curse!

And it is just a condition that wears off.

I cant see this having a huge impact, especially since it cant reduce your armor lower then 60. I'm an ele and my armor is maxed at 70 anyway, and I always seem to survive.

Aslong as you have good monks and a good team, then its the same old story. You will do fine!

As for it not being realistic.... this is a game people!!

This cracked armor, is a tempory condition created by certain skills. As like any other condition, it will be removable with mending and healing (I assume as stated above).

But on the subject of realism!

How many Trolls do you see walking around your neighbourhood, who are able to hurl an endless supply of rocks from their hands, and cast spells on you?

Or when was the last time you saw a Mystical flouting dragon head down your local, ordering a point of Fosters, with the drawfs?

Have you had any undead rise recently from a local graveyard because a local yob was playing necromancer and fancied playing with some Flesh Golems?

I am Restoring my armor to its original condition - Restore Condition

I am using mending touch on my armor to mend its current condition - mend touch

I am using purge conditions to purge the current ill condition my armor is in - purge cond.

I am using dismiss condition to shrug off this broke ass armor of mine - dismiss condition.

Replace your concept of purifying your soul when it comes to removing conditions and upgrade your chain of thought into treating it as a physical condition, effect.


quoted "remove conditions are the way they are because they are designed to heal or purify the target of "ill effects" - cracked armor has nothing to do with this."

Cracked armor is an effect. Here is my armor, now its cracked this has produced a negative (ill) effect where its -20al.

heal/purify? 0.o most of these things as i said earlier can be also worded to sound like you're fixing up your armor, you've just got tunnel vision, @_@ open you eyes, take the red pill neo THERE IS NO SPOON!

With all the things GW needs added/improved/modified the simple sulking of this matter is utterly stupid.

HOW ELSE would they put the effect of cracked armor into the game? you cant enchant an enemy...and if you did...cracked armor as an enchant? you can hex an enemy, but cracked armor as a hex is even more far fetched then it as a condition.

Seriously just change your train of thought, its a condition, its the CONDITION your armor is in, the bulk of the cond removal skills sound believeable enough. Realise the limits in the games engine/design and move on.

God this freaking community, toss them a bar of gold and they'll cry, we wanted gold coins! not a bar of gold! :'-(

Good lord, Seissor! You're doing a lot more complaining about what I said than I am about the issue! In fact, I'm not even really complaining, just expressing my thoughts on it. Do you think I really care that much about it? Please, it's just a term. I'm just mulling it around in my brain trying to see what it has to do with the current conditions. It's constructive thought, not destructive.

On that note, I think you're taking it a bit too seriously, so I'm just going to agree with you and move on, k?

theres ways to take it off like any other condition. its just a simple condition like bleeding and deep wound. while it may seem unrealistic to be able to cure it with the usual monk spells since this condition has to do with armor not an injury its still a condition and still affected by spells that remove conditions. Its only useful on rangers, paragons and warriors tho since everything else already has 60AL. Its definitely useful though and puts a new tactic into play.
