Body armor (in Changelog)

BoE: base AC 18. +8 to DX. +5 to magic. No armor proficiency.

MC: base AC 36.

EH: base AC 24.

Steel brigandine: base AC 22.

Nice!

Um, but uh, what does this have to do with the tats?

more magic is nice

+8 +5? you mean %?

ENCHANTER ARMOR FTW!!!

Hmm. +5% per plus?

Flat +8% and +5%?

yes, flat.

Nice armor for enchanters, boost to magic AND skills.

Same for mages if one can ever get a mage skill.

Made the McM useless though.

Does naming it increase anything on the BoE?

Does + to DX automatically mean + to skills?

Agree with Ranger.. McM is now a piece of junk..

All things that increase/decrease dexterity effects skills.

MCM gives much better AC, though. Assuming its upgrade curve is as nice as I remember it, and that the BoE's is proportionally less.

5% more magic on an enchanter is worth far more IMO then 20 or so AC

I should invest in a few. So does it cost like 5 mil to get a supporter item these days?

Man, I just sold my BoE. Now I'm gonna guess it'll be worth like twice as much.

Buy high, sell low :)

Sell low, watch it get buffed big time, get hosed.

Wow, very nice.

So what do we do with our old MCMs?

I'm sad I didn't pick up the BoEs for cheap in the AH, I knew they would be changed based on how useless they were. /facepalm

Sell them like I did when the EH came out.

I don't know how I feel about the MC right now. Could use AP...*hint* *hint*

btw, what was the base AC of MC before?

32 I think.

By the way, since we're on the issue, can the EH decay a bit less than 50% per round? Now that we have five rounds of ranged, a lower decay rate seems reasonable.

boe, mc , eh.

may someone please explain me them by extense?

BoE & MC

> can the EH decay a bit less than 50% per round?

Done. Now 30%.

SWEET

I am pumped I just bought an EH.

Nice, LB. Good call. Oh, and thanks, Jonathan. *smile*

Now it'll almost do things during ranged rounds! Cause tons of people use ranged DDs.

this is awesome i just got a BoE out of my supportership :)

someone is reporting massive skill bonuses after equipping the BoE

gosh darndit nov, why did you have to wreck my fun...

it's true..after equipping the BOE my Phantom link jumped from 150k to 475k level and approx 260k to 890k effect.

I checked it in battle too and it is indeed the case.

Is it evasion? The DX bonus increasing it?

"it's true..after equipping the BOE my Phantom link jumped from 150k to 475k level and approx 260k to 890k effect."

Yup it's probably evasion Kevlar, lol.

its says i got 9mill for my ROE does that mean my tatto is level 1 again? cuss i dont see the update button and i didnt get any money either

See this thread, bubbletea.

Hey Odd, how do you see links within the CB site? Whenever I open up a page or go somewhere it maintains the same url. Is it an option I need to switch?

Open in a new window. ;)

I don't understand the change to BoE? It was reducing armor penalties so it was mainly an enchanter item and now it grants less AC, more DX and more magic? Wouldn't it have made more sense if it boosted enchantments instead and kept a higher AC?

Oh well.. I don't really mind either way.

For the record, I was one of the very, very, very few that liked the BoE the way it was.

What was the original AC of the EH?

So "magic" means DD + Enchantments, in reference to the BoE?

I imagine that information can be found by looking through past Wiki edits, SK.

"Done. Now 30%."

Wow, I got a change made!

"it's true..after equipping the BOE my Phantom link jumped from 150k to 475k level and approx 260k to 890k effect."

150k * .08 = 475k?

I think it's granting more than 8% to skills, if that's true.

"150k * .08 = 475k?"

no no no...

150k * .08 = 12k

150k * 1.08 =475k :P

What was the original AC of the EH?
22.

So "magic" means DD + Enchantments, in reference to the BoE
Yes. Anything you cast.

erm hatch actually 150k * 3.167 = 475k

lol :P

My PL seems awful damn big, hadn't noticed till this thread... I just got a BoE...

It is getting 8%...per + _and_ base. I just did the math, I have a +30 BoE, so 48 total AC on my BoE, times 8% = 384%. My PL level is around 292K, and it goes up to 1.121 million -- exactly as the math would say.

Jonathan, you are multiplying the 8% by total AC (including base). Pretty sure you mean it to be flat effect, no?

Shhhh this is a good thing. lol

added it to the known issues section of the wiki as a bug.

Nice spot sut.

spotted a couple days ago. same exact thing

Hmmm, is this glitch happening with Enchantment spells as well as skills? +~400% to an enchantment or two would really improve the crap out of my rewards for the next few days!

(*psst...* not that I would cheat. Consider this a bump until the issue gets fixed.)

DM does not appear to be getting enhanced for me, and the DD enhancement is also not out of control. Just appears to be skills (at least as far as I can see...)

Someone please try it on UC! ;)

This seems to be giving me a stacking bonus to my dex per enchantment point.

+7 = 31/20
+14 = 42/20
+21 = 53/20

I just put 5,000 exp into dex to test (It's a mage minion):

1,168 / 436

Looks to me like it scales. This seems like a pretty big bug if you can triple / quadruple / etc your dex just by wearing a BoE.

100% (base)
+8% per enchant
21 x 8 = 168
168% + 100% = 268%

1168 / 436 = 2.68 = 268%

Looks like it adds 8% PER enchantment rather than 8% base.

posted to known issues on march 16, no fix yet.

Sounds like a pretty big bug to me... But what do I know I guess.

regardless of what you have heard in the past, size does not matter! ; )

looks like it is Jon's intention to give 8% bonus per enchantment, maybe I should grab one for my team now. </sarcasm>
