Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) I'm new to the game and forums, but the mayor of the town I've moved in to said that something like this would be appreciated on the forums. http://imgur.com/c6cMpk0 Using the formulas presented from http://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Armor, I've created a graph of the damage reduction provided by the various armors. There's nothing new on my part here, other than presenting it in a visual fashion. Edited July 14, 2014 by the_OTHER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Damage reduction doesn't include glance rate effects on damage mitigation in combat. There's more to the story than that graph shows. http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/102987-armor-crunch-v101-ui-improved-addyglimseryl-plate-added/ I did the math for it in this spreadsheet tool if you're curious. I guess it's graphable, but it'd be difficult due to the different damage types. Edited July 14, 2014 by Sevenless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 14, 2014 Indeed. This graph is of only one part of the whole. Weight, effect on movement speed, glance rate, and damage reduction are all valid things to consider when choosing an armor. Given some time, I'll try to make another graph which incorporates glance rate, but for now, this is what I have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Double post. Hmm, can I remove this? Edited July 18, 2014 by the_OTHER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 14, 2014 This graph was created a long time ago on the older equipment and still runs true, and sadly I doubt i'd use this graph at all. bold out the lines <3. But nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2014 I see seryll with glimmer steel. Is this seryll plate? Where does serryl chain fit into this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 18, 2014 Ql 50 drake is as good as ql 100 chain? That ignores glance rates. Which change things somewhat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2014 Really, really hoping this becomes another thread about how armor is NOT balanced and for the average PvPer who doesn't have access to drake/scale or full seryll/moon metal sets, plate is going to be the only viable solution (as well as gold chain, because everyone is so impressed that you are guaranteed victory), and everything else is just for decoration.

Blame the flat DR that underlies the glance system. It really makes armour simplified and boring. Even after glance rates are added in, you see this issue still.

Posted July 18, 2014 Everything is taken from formulas on http://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Armor. It gives values for Glimmersteel Plate and Serryl Plate. I don't know anything about Serryl Chain.I see seryll with glimmer steel. Is this seryll plate? Where does serryl chain fit into this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
