Talk:Cracked Armor

new conditions ftl imo 67.162.10.70 23:47, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

If it really has a 60 armor cap then IMO its going to be pretty much useless. Sure, vs warriors it'd be nice, but the amount of skills that can cause this conditions are going to be severly limited, beings that theres only 10 new skills per proffesion. Not to mention how ez it is to remove conditions. Eric368 00:17, 27 July 2007 (CDT)

Just checked it. There's only 4 whole skills that cause cracked armor. Were never going to see this condition. Antiarchangel 00:28, 27 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Maybe if it treated the target as if they had 60 armor (since every class has some method of increasing their armor over 60), it might have some uses. Otherwise, a set -20 armor isn't anything spectacular. --8765 00:29, 27 July 2007 (CDT)


 * There's going to be at least 6 because they're making Weaken Armor and Shadowy Burden cause it as well. Capcom 00:38, 27 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Why are articles being created for things that do not technically exist, they should be allowed in talk pages but the articles should not. Cracked armor is also inflicted by some monster skills as well and some of the current skills may be modified to give cracked armor. 02:35, 27 July 2007 (CDT)

As of now (according to offical wiki) then, only necros, mesmers, eles, assassins, and rits can cause this condition. However warriors, rangers, paras, and dervs are the only ones that have skills that benift from cracked armor (like gash on a bleeding enemy) Basicly, your either going to have to use ur secondary profession to get a condition (seems like a bad idea IMO) or rely on ur teamates to cause it for you. I doubt many people will be using this unless its changed. Eric368 17:21, 27 July 2007 (CDT)
 * For PvE, this will be a godsend, as you'd be able to use Epidemic to spread it among the highly armored PvE monsters, and your SF eles will wreak havoc (or even your minion master). For PvP, this will only affect Warriors (lol Frenzy) and any casters who decide to use shields and passive +armor defenses. As it is, it's going to require a lot of teamwork to actually get it to stick long enough for it to do its job, but it's worth it. --Kale Ironfist 19:18, 27 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Is Anet going to change a few skills from the past to inflict Cracked Armor? I rather not be under this condition if I were a Warrior, Ranger, Paragon, Assassin, or Dervish...but on the other hand.....farming...--Dark Paladin X 09:15, 3 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I could imagine this condition as an addition to Drunken/Desperation Blow.. cKowDont 17:36, 4 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Izzy stated on talk:cracked armor on the gwwiki that Weaken Armor and Shadowy Burden will be reworked to also cause Cracked Armor, so it will be 6 skills. --[[Image:Roland_icon.png]]Roland of Gilead (talk) 09:29, 12 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Seeing as none of us can verify it yet, perhaps it means the minimum amount of armor it can take away from is 60. So someone with 40 armor won't go down to 20, but someone with 50 can only go down 10. So maybe it can't subtract more than 20 from 60. 40 Armor. We all know how easy wording can be misinterperted.

 * Even ANet and Izzy aren't THAT convoluted in their descriptions --Gimmethegepgun 13:30, 16 August 2007 (CDT)


 * BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. Why can't you guys just wait a week >.> --Lann 15:41, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
