There is no "Damage Bonus Knight" variant, so I would like to suggest that damage bonuses from equipment all translate to a general damage bonus in PVP.
There are many weapons and armor sets that would scale better against ubiquitous Vog sets as a result, encouraging more diversity in PVP gear.
give armors a similar classification to monsters based on the type of armor/material it is made of (examples: Fur, Scale, Iron, Cobalt, Copper, Gel, Cloth, Feather), or the "theme" (examples: Beast, Dragon, Skull, Devil, Angel, Ghost, Fire, Shock) of the armor.
And then damage bonus to certain monster types in PVE will translate to damage bonus to certain corresponding armor type(s) in PVP.
unrelated: Today in Lockdown I was charging my new thorn blade while standing on a point and this guy decked out in magic set or something similar comes at me.
He didn't make it lol
while id love to see gear other than skolver/vog having any gear with damage bonus vs (family) translate into generic damage bonus isnt a practical solution
while skolver does generic sword damage bonus, other sets, like dragon scale, have damage bonus (note the difference) - it would mean a generic damage bonus for all weapon types - not really what you want to go for (cause then people just start wearing all dragon scale gear and uve got the same scenario, everyone wearing the same gear)
Yes i think that damage bonus vs (family) should apply a bonus of some sort in lockdown, probably damage bonus against shadow/pierce/elemental defense (whichever suits the monster family best) or damage bonus for a weapon type (so damage bonus vs fiend becomes bomb damage bonus) of course then people will whinge about which monster families translate into different weapon types
