Plate and chain classes

If a Leather class isnt supposed to tank as well as a Plate and chain class. The shouldnt a Plate and Chain class not be able to run, jump, and melee as much as a leather and cloth class? Mybe they should make Plate and Chain classes loss endurance faster then a leather class?

Rational ideas, but see this is the thing. in EQ, rational thought is like completly ignored. Especially with such a vague tag as "Magic item"

especially considering all the "a piece of leather can't take a hit like plate of steel."

Even more ironic as every melee class (including plate and chain) had their avoidance increase to some degree in the monk nerf patch. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

Sure. Nerf everyone who has better non-situational melee damage output than monks.



Oh, there aren't any.

It's got nothing to do with plate, leather, fungus flesh or what ever.



The whole and complete issue is about game & class balance. Realism is not an issue. If we want realism let's remove all magic and have an 80% chance of death from a sword to the gut.



Realism = red herring.

Not a bad idea. Can you exclude those of us with Magic armor though? Thanks.

I can accept that point, but I wont accept when VI uses the realism issue to nerf a ability. If you are going to nerf somthing just go out and say it, dont beat around the bush by saying "realism is the key"


</p>

Who knows. Verant may create an item just for Monks that has the mod of "30% reduction of our nerf patch, where we turn Monks into jello"

Hmm, I don't recall Verant bringing up any reference to realism with regards to the monk nerf.
