[Request] Magical Chain Mail

from Elemental Forums

Can you add a set of magical chain mail to be unlocked with the Arcane Armor tech? This way chain users have something to look forward too researching that tech.

Also, with the implementation of armor proficiencies... is it really necessary to lock out light plate and masterworked chainmail? Please let Light Plate be unlocked with the Armor tech along with Chain Armor and Masterwork Chain Armor unlocked with the Heavy Armor tech along with Plate armor.

seconding. And i'd also like a leather armour magic set as well.

Screw that.  Just give me crafting so we can get over this whole 'unlocking items through the tech tree' business.

But I agree we need more magical stuff from the magic tree for now.

Just add the reinforced chain mail cuirass, available as loot already, to that tech.

WIth the new armor rules, I do think we are in real need of some sort of advanced leather armor.

Why? Weapon damage was lowered across the board, so hasn't leather armor actually gotten more useful than before?

I could see spectral leather cuirasses and helms being added to the magic tree, but I just don't see why they are needed.

I actually wrote a while ago, requesting advanced / magical versions of leather (Ranger Armor, Assassin Armor, Marksman Armor), chain (Steelmesh Armor, Masterwork chainmail, Barbarian Chain) and robes (Archmage Robes, Emperor Robes, Warlock Robes) so we can have a sense of progression even for those troops or heroes who don't have the plate mail skill.

These armors do not need to improve the defence but can be used to boost other skills (for instance, Ranger Armor can give greater movement, Assassin Armor can improve chance to crit and Marksman Armor can improve Accuracy) so we have to choose between them.

Considering the slower leveling environment we now have (and probably need), I could see the argument for advanced leather armor/robes that give special abilities. For instance, haste/slow spells.
