Talk:Tormentor's armor

Has anyone actually tested that it's non-stacking and now only applies against light damage, or is it just based on the description? -- Gordon Ecker 21:21, 16 December 2006 (CST)


 * It makes absolutely no sense that it is non-stacking, as that would make it an almost entirely unnoticeable difference, and would be well worth the 10 bonus armor. Also, ANet scales things so that they have the same effect according to how likely the armor is to be hit. For example, Radiant insignia gives 3 energy to the chest (3/8 chance of hit) while gives 2 to legs (2/8 to hit) and 1 to everything else (all 1/8 to hit). If this were to be applied to this armor, which increases damage, it would be 2 on the chest (since it's most likely to be hit), 4 on the legs (since it's second most) and 6 on everything else, since they're least likely to be hit --Gimmethegepgun 21:26, 23 December 2006 (CST)


 * If the note is correct then it's probably a bug, and bugs aren't supposed to be balanced or make sense. -- Gordon Ecker 21:00, 27 December 2006 (CST)


 * I am sure it doesn't stack and it's not a bug. I used a light damage weapon and wand a necro with full set of tormentors (by scrimmage). If the penalties stack like they were before, the damage dealt by my wand should be +6+4+2+2+2 = at least 16+. But the test proved they don't stack because 11-22 light damage wand (attribute reachs the requirement but the weapon is not customized) deals 9~24 damage to a necro with full set of tormentors. I also tested some holy damage spells and tormentors don't take extra damage by holy damage. For example, Banish deals 58 damage to a naked necro, and the same damage to a necro with full set of tormentors. It makes sense to me, otherwise tormentors are worthless at all.--Hydralisk mk2 03:23, 15 January 2007 (CST)


 * I just did some further tests, the update only applied to existed armors. Old tormentor's armors and new armors with tormentor's insignia work different way.--61.219.36.131 08:59, 16 January 2007 (CST)

Factions Tormentor's useless?
My Luxon 15k Tormentor's chest/legs clearly arn't working. The 10+armor isn't applying. Read this thread, explains the tests I did and their results.

I just bought some maxed nightfall armor (chests/leggings) and put Tormentor's insignias on them. They work perfectly fine, yet my lux15k armor isn't reducing any damage at all. Does anyone know whats up with this? It really sucks bein unprotected against those SF ele's >_> I recently was trying to armor up my Nec with some equipment (armor5 sword, 10+armor offhand below 50%), but with my Tormentor's armor not even working right, it feels abit pointless to stack armor. This bug seems to have kicked in after the last major update (skill templates, etc). P A R A S I T I C 00:53, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * I can confirm this, my Kurzick 15K Tormentor Armor does not give +10 armor, too. --Long 07:56, 18 January 2007 (CST)

The Bug notes seem to be inaccurate. Doesn't mention the lack of the 10+al, and according to this thread, even though the 10+al isn't working, you still take the extra damage from light damage:  http://guildwars.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4654783 P A R A S I T I C 00:58, 28 January 2007 (CST)
