Has AR/Fence dmg been tinkered with again?

[jenny_jugs]

Just logged in after 2 days.

Started attacking some guys - noticed my new bronze runic kyrss was doing 5 hp a blow, and after 10 hits, with no heals, players were still half life.... I first shrugged it off as "he must of had invul ar", until the guy died to a bunch of us and had vendor leather, and 1 piece of guarding.

My guildy and i then test our weapons (power exceed spear and the bronze runic), my kyrss was doing 5 hp a blow on average.... His spear 6-7 hp.. with big hits being 12 hps lol.

Is this intended? or has it been played around with again?

Cause i don't know how anyone is meant to die like that....

EDIT.

Just tested GM LJ with a +20 exceed Power large battle - horrible lol

nvm,

just tried other ppl on me.

HUGE dmg.

Im thinking runics dont work as intended? since the bronze runic was repaired, and secondly my guildy must of been using a beat up spear.

Tried fencing/LJ on 28 ar and was doing good damage.

Not going to go fully into the numbers. But Adam and I spent many hours. (Maybe like 12+ this past weekend alone) going through each popular weapon and their gm versions, as well as their supreme vanq versions.
The end result of the armor modifications are what we pushed to live, and are pretty damn good.

We normalized damage as well as made armor function as it should.

We tested with various suits of armor to allow for all of the templates and are very happy with the net result.

As for runics not functioning properly, best to have them fully repaired, but they should be fine.

Hell, if ya wanna test, throw on a gm dexxy suit (38 ar), do 15-20 hits, then toss on a valorite version (64 ar). Lemme know if armor matters.

I feel ya, I am finding too damn many people have a surplus of good armor and my bronze runic and power war hammers are doing much less damage now. It's definitely the AR that's reducing it, which is cool, but it's just too easy for older players(myself included) to just roll invul in the field daily. I am sure I'm beating down some of that armor but at the same time, I'm sure it's just getting repaired afterwards.
