Devs, Buff ARMOR Before ur going to vacation

currently many players are playing on the left side of the tree
using armor or armor+es
it SUCKS
IT is bad in so many different ways
bot pure armor and armor+es feel bad
it feels like ur wearing a cloth armor and not a plate armor
and because armor by itself sucks armor+es also sucks

also Talisman is a 2h weapon u cant equip a shield whit it so ur extra extra squishy

ARMOR MUST FEEL GOOD
how come the game is OUT for a YEAR! and u didnt buff armor yet ?

half of my passive points are in defenses and i feel squishy as hell
like im wearing cardboard and not armor
i swapped to armor +es ,it also sucks.

devs PLEASE BUFF ARMOR BEFORE UR GOING TO VACATION!
PLEASE!

up

What Melee classes need, Is a way to scale Guard like spellcasters do ES

This would fix so many underlying issues

Make it so spellcasters can't scale guard hp and ES, example being location of nodes etc, strength requirements for gear...

Armor isn't ideal, but in its current state, it's not that bad. For the last two seasons, I've been playing a pure 2-handed weapons Warrior (Smith of Kitava) and I haven't had much trouble even in T15 maps or bosses, except for a few bosses that one-shot just about anyone (Monkey). But it's important to remember that armor is just one of the defense layers if you want use pure STR armor.
- Life
- Armor
- Armor apply to elemental damage
- Damage taken conversion
- Life regen / leech / Damage recuperation

These individual layers need to be balanced to work well. This work well for me ...

In 0.3, I had 8k armor, 120% apply to elemental damage, 30% physical to fire conversion, 400 life per second regen, and around 4.1k life - 2h hammer without shield

In 0.4, I have 17k armor, 150% apply to elemental damage, 30% physical to fire conversion, 200 life per second regen, and around 3.7k life - Bear talisman

IMO armour is currently closer to ideal balance than ES is. The problem really isn't armour itself, it's moreso tad bit too low life for many builds; and that ascendancies which do not give significant enough defenses are not very playable as life+ev or life+armor.

Current EHP king especially vs mixed type damage (like phys attack with convert 30% of damage to fire etc) is Titan. Bear shaman can also get pretty high. But all other non-ES setups are well below ES setups in terms of EHP vs biggest hits.

Shaman is prolly the only ascendancy that really allows going both ES and Armor without that being a hindrance rather than an asset. Maybe Warbringer could do it too.

It has had significant buff since launch. Granted, the most significant one happened in 0.1.1, a bit over a month into the EA.
