Bug Description:

Stygian commander’s set stats are off: When crafted by an armorer, they give +28 hp and +12 stamina a piece. This is largely unrivaled by any other heavy armor in the game, and completely unrivaled by the basic armors, which gives either +28 hp or +7 stamina a piece. They largely outdo both redeemed and voidforged dragonbone far as stats boosts go.


Bug Reproduction:

Craft stygian commander using a named armorer.

Pretty sure it’s intentional, but who knows :man_shrugging: Funcom has been called out in relation to the Theurgical Aegis too, which doesn’t have a basegame equivalent.

This one however is not even as bad as the Theurgical one :stuck_out_tongue: It’s 5 stamina off from some EL basegame stuff… and Siptah has equivalent items

If you don’t opt for the stamina bonus, then the basegame has a large plethora of armors with the exact same health amount as this, some on its own while some with other bonuses.

With that being said, I agree that Funcom should be called out for this as it seems they’re taking more and more liberties with the slippery slope that is P2W now that the shop seems to be working out… even if not for these items, but as a cautioning to try and not go further and turn it around before it’s too late :slight_smile:
In any case… imo it seems too carefully tuned to be a mistake…

It’s a stamina bonus and a health bonus. So it’s not just 5 stamina, it’s 5 stamina and 28 health. And while vicious waistguard is obviously comparable, for one the epic variant of it is currently uncraftable. For another it costs eldarium. And lastly it’s a particularly stat efficient piece and other pieces of the vicious armor don’t compare as well to stygian commander.

Ignoring the stamina bonus makes little sense, as stamina is generally a valuable stat, whereas health is always a valuable stat. Stamina usually being a much more valuable than follower damage/concussive damage that Theurgical set gives on top of health, which both do.
