Mild armor differences 09/25/2011 09:28 PM CDT

So, ran some tests between shirt (shirt, gloves, greaves) combos and robe (robe, sleeves) combos. The robe combos were /very/ slightly less hindering at low ranks than shirt combos (reflected in reduced stealth hindrance). Lumium was also slightly less hindering, but the difference only showed up in appraisal when stacking the multi-armor penalty (added a damite lamellar balaclava) as compared to steel. Otherwise the differences have all been within the appraisal range value (so undetectable difference, short of collecting hit values in combat).

maybe the less hinderance is due to the less volume being used by using sleeves instead of gloves. According to some numbers I'm looking at, lorica+sleeves is 2 volumes less than shirt+gloves, and lorica+greaves=robe; so robe+sleeves would be 2 less than shirt+gloves+greaves. Maybe you could amplify the difference by shaving off 2 more volumes by comparing the shirt, gloves, greaves to mantle, tasset, sleeves (but of course then you would have to split up the balaclava too).

< You throw a massive lumium shard at a beisswurm. A beisswurm attempts to evade. The shard lands a harmless blow to the beisswurm's abdomen.

I've noticed that larger pieces seem to have less hinderance than smaller ones combined (anecdotally, no solid testing). What I really need to run is testing of all like categories. I have a feeling that you are correct with the rough approximation on volumes making the difference. What it was good to see is that the system apparently is working as intended, where at least swapping between major pieces has a de minimis difference at mid ranks and beyond, and even only a slight difference at very low ranks.
