Armor Piercing stat will be a failure

[opticalcord]

no use ur attacks

[Dreamkeeper]

Arcane Odyssey - Max Resistance armor set

Safe to say armour piercing failed to do what it’s supposed to do (pierce armour)

[DubiousLittleTyp0]

ngl max AP is a lot more viable than max resistance

[Skenana]

Also max regen is basically useless from the clips I’ve seen. I think they got like 10 or 15 extra health per tick with max vitality and regen over no regen or vitality. Safe to say all of these new stats need tweaking.

Also, why did blud Foxtail make a whole new account just to reply to something I said in February lol

@ Vetex straight up remove Armour Piercing man , it 🇮 🇹 doesnt add depth to combat it literally removes features because why run defense when you can take 1000 damage from some ap stan , why block when you can just dodge to entirely negate damage , vetex do you hear me man ap straight up removed features and now everyone is gonna run less than 500 defense to counter ap defense straight up got gutted man like wtf bro please please please listen to me man straight up flipping remove ap it shouldnt effect high defense anyway tbh since it pierces through resistance and blocking , why it piercing through high health there aint anything to pierce through theres just a lot of it , anyway one building nullifying anyother is so dumb man who came up with rock scissors meta, and also 1 stat relying on another to work so dumb like wth deepwoken does piercing so much better actualy armour bar man anyway im always againts balance team gutting things but in this case i think its fine anyway (compete sentence ).

[Skenana]

Even without AP defence got gutted from removing the extra regen it gives and making that a separate stat. Makes me feel like I’m doing some Ironman challenge in AO when I take damage and see that throughout a bossfight it remains low instead of healing when I’m intentionally buying time to heal.

On top of that, defense users get extra damage done to them from AP users while their extra health doesnt give them extra regen, yet Vitality users don’t take extra damage from AP, and DO get extra regen from their extra health.

[TheEvilReeve]

I think what they were trying to do is make regen better for drawn out fights and for vitality users and defense better for short term but regen broke, defense gets shat on by AP so its just glass canon meta

[Skenana]

After everything’s said and done, Glass Cannon Meta will be waiting for us…

vetex was indeed not cooking that well with this one, I see why they seperated regen and hp but yeah no one blocks so its only really good against npcs and resistance is so useless because its not some sort of flat damage resistance it just anti ap (once again only useful in pve because you can use stuff like surge and not take 100000 damage) apperently regen is bugged currently so we will see if regen will be meta or not as you only need enough hp to withstand good amount of hits not a gazillion hp and with regen you just would straight up last longer as long as you dont get absolutely obliterated which from my experience really never happens

[RayhanahyaR]

tbh Armour Piercing just feels like another stat to bloat builds

[Samppa1203]

Resistance gives damage resistance agaisnt all attacks but i think u have to be like charging the attack or smthing

[DubiousLittleTyp0]

stat bloat already reaching yoshi8me levels man how much more of this can we take

[opticalcord]

JUST from watching this video I’m making a wind mage now

I need to try it

[amiuri]

@biologlol

So, what do we have here? A stat that fully demolishes tanky builds and blocking as a mechanic. Barely anyone used block before, only parry-block-dodge mfs and shield/boxing mains (almost 0,1% of all AO players). And with Regeneration stat, high defense also became less valuable, so now it has lost the rest of its usefulness. So Vetex, why making blocking useful when you can just add a balance breaking stat that will delete block’s existence? Both in RFAO and RFAO-but-talking-is-allowed armor piercing received negative feedback, this does mean something for you right? Everyone who thinks like me feel free to unleash all your rants here.

This aged like a fine milk

[MrYes]

A worthy punishment for trying to parry

[X23Z23]

ok so apperently resistance is only for when you use moves, and ap buffs damage against higher defense and more damge against blocking and even more damage against perfect blocking (vetex was not cooking)

[OOFUS]

Don’t forget how they have no ult art cooldowns, so they can spam it all they want
