Why is it that we always get weapons or shields from promo boxes, but never armor? I think it would be amazing to have some unique armor pieces from promo boxes, cause you can only wield so many weapons at the same time and only 1 shield.
Movement speed increase medium could be a nice unique bonus these armors could have.
yes, medium on each piece. Otherwise these armors are not worth it when F2P'ers can run at the same speed...
ASI or CTR would probably be better. Or just a lot of defense, HP, and status resists...
I'm against unique promo box items. I'm okay with alternative ones (teddy bear buckler is good example), so sidegrade promo armor is OK in my book... Other things not so much.
Example: Let's say we get a promo where you get elemental resist MSI armor. As a sidegrade to what we have for that we'd make it bomber armor with MSI: low, bomb CTR: low, and freeze resistance. This makes it a sidegrade to bombtastic and mercurial demo while having a sort of middle ground. If you need CTR then you go bombtastic, if you don't need CTR you go mercurial demo, and if you got lucky you'd use this new armor. Freeze is already on bombtastic so it's not something super new either.
A bad way to do the same thing would be to give it poison resistance as that's completely new.
I am fine with reskins and weapons we already have with different models. I am not ok with unique items being released in boxes.
"Movement speed increase medium could be a nice unique bonus these armors could have."
But... three sets have MSI Med.
Unless you mean MSI Med on each piece.
In which case: no.
