So I bought it. Helmets!!! Yay! With stats yay!!!

And then…my heart sank.

You were so close. So close.

I saw the helmets and I saw the little fuzzy one and said! They did it. Finally a piece of cold resist accuracy. Like Sabotai would wear.

Then. It was strength.

Then you gave me a HEAVY Cold resist helmet. With accuracy.

And I almost broke up with you. Like a bad boyfriend.

But I still love you and your game. I can forgive this transgression.

But for the love of Yog!!!

Light or medium please. We already have heavy accuracy and no one wears it.

Nobody wears heavy armor in general, it’s garbage. Literally only in the game for thralls

3

But like…players who rely on accuracy would wear it even less!

4

I’m on pve c, and run hyperborian str armor. I was running epic darfari light, but felt npcs cutting me like butter. Is it because I stubbornly face tank, or am I missing key info on armor sets??

5

Here I am, trying to get the Godseye legendary armor still.

6

I was just hoping for a light or medium accuracy helmet. Even the one they put in blocks the retical for shooting things.

7

Yea you gotta roll away when they attack. Heavy armor isn’t horrible for pve I suppose but it’s just free kills in pvp

8

And an archer needs to roll dammit. Thats what a dedicated archer needs more than a heavy helmet.

Seriously. You have to literally switch builds if you want to head north.

Lemurian is horrible and Hyrkanian is useless.

Although I like the look of Lemurian.

9

Agreed. They’re lacking some armors in some areas, for example no light / medium grit heat resist armor

It makes sense… since alpha, everything was easy. Now that it got the dark souls treatment, I need to learn to play it slow.

Thankyou, I’ll be revisiting my light armor build and learning how to dodge.

It’s pve c, I’ve seen combat maybe 20 times lol. But for my money, this game keeps me going, I’m just a huge fan!

There’s a perk for agility that counts your armour as one less for dodging : heavy counts as medium and medium counts as light ans I don’t know as what counts light. It should allow to roll in heavy armour it seems, but I never tested that perk so I can’t confirm.
About the OP, why not wear the DLC’s heavy helmet with all other pieces of armour being medium or light with accuracy bonus and cold protection, if there is any in the game ?

Yea but in PvP putting 40 points into agility makes your build garbage and the 40 points for the perk isn’t worth the +10% resist for upgrading from medium to heavy. In PvE heavy works great if you get used to the dodge, but it’s garbage in PvP
