Priscilla's Lifehunters

WyrmHero wrote:Ok Doran I read your suggestions. The ranks names I really like how they are named now, except the rank 5s. However, I like the idea of each rank having different duties or roles. The most important thing about the Lifehunters, that other covenants do not have, is versatility on builds. That's why we have many armor options (which represent the Painted World). These armor options are strict in the sense of having some kind of uniform (so that we are recognized by other players) and are almost non-efficient in terms of poise (low endurance builds will not have poise because the set is required to be worn full).

So what we really need is one efficient uniform per armor category. These uniforms will depend on poise 'sweet spots'. For example, the light armor uniform will require to have at least 21 poise (to resist all the 1 handed small weapons). The medium uniform must have 31 or 53 poise. The heavy 76 poise.

The uniform must also look classy, cool and awesome. I observed the armor lists and saw that our armors can be classified in two categories: Light and Dark armors. For example, the medium armor types have brass and favor (Light), dark and thorn (Dark). So following this idea, we can have 2 uniforms per armor type (light, medium, heavy). The thing about uniforms is that I have little imagination for good looking efficient armor combinations. Rank 5 rewards also affect build effectiveness because if you rely on heavy armor and you reach rank 5, you'll have to wear the crown or the hood and will lower your poise and might be lower than the poise 'sweet spot' (76 poise). So I don't know what incentive to have for those who want to reach rank 5. It's a very complicated thing.

Edit: Forum I have not read your suggestions yet but will do as soon as I get online on PSN.

i think that the light uniforms should have 0 poise since you would have to mix in medium/heavy armour parts otherwise. those who use light could use the wolf ring (i always use it, except for against weapons that would stun/stunlock me anyway, against those i switch it for something more useful) or just use 0 poise. i don’t know about the medium armours, the armour with the highest poise is the favor set with 47, the rest have 40/41 so if we wanted higher we would have to mix some heavy armour in there, wich would kinda remove the "medium armour" part of them. the heavy ones could have 76, it would be hard to get without the helm though.

another idea would be to simply mix/match with the armours (heavy,medium,light) and get uniforms with maybe one heavy/medium part giving them poise and the rest light for a light uniform with poise, same with heavy and medium. i don’t think that this is a good idea since it would be min/maxing but you choose. IMO we should use full sets as uniforms, at least the PG sets fits really well with the dragon head. so i have my uniform already.

this post may be a little bit hard to understand since i didn’t know what i should reply to :shock:
