Using Weapons and armours that give us damage bonus against monster families should give us damage bonus against guys using armours of that family. Like Hunting blade with guys in wolver armour, arcane salamander against wolver, chroma and jelly armours or cautery sword to jelly guys.

Just so everyone knows:
Im not talking about Damge types. Like piercing weapons doing strong damage against guys on wolver armour. Im not talking about that.
Im talking about weapons like Wild Hunting Blade that has the ability: Damage Bonus against beast high

Right now Skolver Armour: Bonus Damage Medium to everybody. With what Im suggesting Volcanic Salamander: Bonus Damage Medium to guys on jelly armour only.

Not gamebreaking and not useless either. It wouldnt even be a big change on armours and weapons used in lockdown.

What about people wearing one

What about people wearing one piece of each, like a chroma helm with a jelly suit?

And what armors would be representative of fiend, construct and gremlin?

Then there's armors that aren't related to any monster families. Are they immune to damage bonuses against them?

1.) People with all three

1.) People with all three armour slots with wolver armour will take the whole bonus from weapons, with just a wolver mask only 1/3.

2.) No armours from fiend, construct nor gremlin

3.) Yes they are inmune to the bonus. So you either risk it using a whole armour set or you sacrifice the bonus of the respective armours to be inmune to the bonus from the others.

It doesnt seem Op to me and it will give these armours and weapons with bonuses a use in lockdown.

So this is bacicaly and

So this is bacicaly and anti-skolver-striker thread?

What are you talking about three armor slots? We only get to use 2 because the class becomes the shield.

We don't turn into the creatuers though. The armors are only made to LOOK like them. We don't really turn into a wolf or an undead demon.

Then people would just wear

Then people would just wear cobalt and no one could get a bonus.
I don't like this idea.

Its not an anti skolver

Its not an anti skolver thread, im ok with it. There is plenty of armours and weapons in this game, im just asking for a bit of variety in lockdown.

Lol i forgot about the shield you got me there XD. Oh right if you only use one piece of armour you get half of the bonus damage.

Armours that give us damage bonuses against certain enemies doesnt make sense either. According to the game´s logic armours that make you get bonus damage from armours that makes you deal bonus damage would make sense.

@Aemicus
Using cobalt doesnt make you invulnerable, you still weak to elemental. This would do the opposite from what you said and increase the variety of weapons and armours used in lockdown.

I'm saying no one would get

I'm saying no one would get the bonus damage against you, as the armor isn't from a monster class.

Yeah i know but that doesnt

Yeah i know but that doesnt mean that by wearin cobalt you have secured the victory. Plus you are sacrificing the damage bonus from skolver set just to dont get damage bonus from certain weapons.

A Divine avenger would take down cobalt armoured people easily. I think people would still use skolver armours, you get a little disadvantage against a little range of weapons and armours but you do bonus damage medium against everyone.

But no one would use wolver

But no one would use wolver line armor, because of the amount of flourish and snarble barb weapons in Lockdown. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you take a flourish and nightblade into T2 lockdown, you do maximum damage to jelly, wolver, and chromalisk style armors which is all the monster armors available then, and still do normal damage to everything else. You said that a DA would destroy cobalt, but you can't just think about T3 lockdown, you have to think of all of them.

You got it wrong You probably

You got it wrong

You probably think that im saying that because a flourish do max damage on wolvers they would do on guys with wolver armours.

But what im reallly saying is that weapons like Hunting Blade wich have abilities like Bonus Damage against Beast should do a bonus damage against enemies with beast armours.

Theres a great difference, what you im asking for is a little buff, what you though i was asking for was a total game break.
