So, the almirian crusader armor seems to be slightly useless, only usable for costumes. With weak curse protection and fire weakness, this set is only really useful in graveyards, and that if you are even cursed by a phantom. So i suggest we make it into a grey feather set with shadow protection instead, since we dont have plain shadow-fire-shock-protection set.
Opinions?
But, should curse be kept, or just have bonus fire def+ original curse. And maybe a bonus, CTR? MSI? ASI?
It would help a lot in UFSC
I don't think we need another Fire/Shock Resistant Item in our Arsenal. It's kind of getting Annoying.
OOO likes to create troll items like Iron Salt or Cautery Sword, Almirian is also one of them; but hey... it makes a nice costume armor, doesn't it?
Increase normal defense to match that of Plate series, decrease shadow similarly
Add stun resistance and major sleep weakness
Cut down Fire weakness to -Medium
Add shock resistance
Add Attack Speed Decrease: Low on both items
Bam, Trojan plate mail.
ummmm heck noooooooo why decrease movement speed that worsens the problem. I think the set should have a undead bonus and leave the rest alone. I feel the fire bonus shouldnt be unless we get a buff.
I think it could use a damage penalty against Beasts, since Vanaduke's always bein' taken down by wolves hungry for the blood of Almire.
Literally, though, wolves. Most players wear Vog there. :P
Give it high normal and split Elemental AND Shadow defense (lowered accordingly). Leave the fire weakness alone and give it heavy weakness to curse, but increase the damage, CTR, and attack speed of all weapons while on fire or cursed (+High when on fire per equip). Additionally, give it minor resistance to every other status (while implementing the idea at the bottom to balance it out?)
SPOILERS AHEAD
It makes sense given Vanaduke's lore. Normally, the country was pure (resistance to most statuses), but then got ganged up on by two other countries. Vanaduke went insane when praying to an unknown deity in the mountains (curse weakness), 'died', was reborn as a fiery monster and couldn't control the power he gained (Fire/Curse bonus, Fire weakness), destroying the country he tried to save... due to his insanity, thinking it was saved and becoming extremely hostile to anyone who entered.
END SPOILERS
Given that last bit it may even be reasonable to cause anything near you to take damage while you're on fire as well. Might be hard to program, but, well, just an idea...
...is that you should use the search bar and find threads that discuss buffing the Almirian set, because several exist.
If you're looking for Shadow, fire, and shock protection, look at Divine.
