Feedback on Over-Equiping....

[______________Zierow]

I was thinking..... With the state that AO is in, with the poor NPC balance, countless bugs, and min-damage issue. It seems that anymore we are "forced" to over-equip just to play the game.

I never used to over-equip in the past, just didn't need to. Was happy with what I was doing. But as things progressed it just led to the said problem.

I'm curious as to what others think.

Well, yes.

As for armor, I hardly think it's any sort of a problem or that it should ever be changed. I mean, whoopie, I overequipped and with the use of buffs I got armor 10 levels higher than I would have. That means it adds 150 more in armor class than it would have.

So now instead of hitting me for 150-200, with criticals of 400, mobs are hitting me for 135-185, with criticals of 385. Wow, big difference.
