RM Epic Armor

[Karl [DAOC]]

I finished my Epic quests yesterday and recieved my epic armor...

2 Problems..


the Vest conns Red to me with an AF of 58,
Everything else conns yellow with an AF of 48...

I am told 1. the vest is fixed next patch.. i presume the Af brought down... is it bugged in the sence that all the armor should be AF 50?? cos my armor that isnt epic is AF 49... and epic is 48..?? will it all be 50?

also Release said to me that he 'thinks' the Con and Dura % on the epic armor is reset next patch aswell allowingme to use it and not worry about the vest conning red to me... Is that true?

Anybody have some answers to these problems??

Thanks

Karl

Yeh i completed mine a few days ago, had same problem with Vest, everything else was fine.
I reported the bugged Vest to GOA and they informed the Devs so it should be fixed shortly.
Until then im not wearing it as it will degrade quickly

I am completely ignorant of RM equipment, but why is your Epic Armour af50ish? All the others that I know of are af100.

Just a question from an uninformed non-RM.

Cloth armors are 50% AF of equal leath/studded/chain armors

Yer looks like the Epic armour is a bit fubar at moment, but not to fussed yet as im not lvl 50 yet

Hopefully will be 50 by the time the patch comes out so that we can get the nice graphics, becasue at the moment the Thane, and Zerkers and Hunters look well gimpy, the Skalds prob best just that it currently looks liek a full set of TL

something not quite right with the hunter epic armor also

AF is the same with or without the hunter self AF buff

at first, I thought that my epic armor must have reached my cap, rendering my buff useless

however, the AF does increase when the armors AF buff charge is used.

 

[- Pathfinder -]

Hunter AF buff is considered a base buff; base buffs don't increase your AF (as your Epic will cap it). I imagine a charge counts as a Spec. buff though, as it's 1.5x your level (at 50).

My base AF buff puts me to 500AF from around 250AF.

 

[old.anubis]

AF is the same with or without the hunter self AF buff

it will be fixed in later patches (1.51 or even 1.52) and your buff will go on top of your af cap

[edit]

it will be 1.52

- All "clerical" (i.e. Healer, Shaman, Druid, Bard, Warden, Friar, Paladin, Hunters, Rangers and Cleric) baseline armor factor buffs are now assessed "outside the cap". In situations where you were at your armor factor cap, and had one of these buffs on you, you would have gotten no additional armor factor, but now with this change, you will. There is currently a display problem where this additional armor factor is not being displayed, but it is being assessed.
