[1.1.1] Form of the Fearsome Brute's armor has too much recovery penalty


AndreaColombo

Question

A Transmuter's ability Form of the Fearsome Brute (also obtainable via a potion) includes the following armor:

As shown in the screenshot, there are two problems with this armor:

 

  • Its recovery penalty is 100%, by far the highest in the game and definitely too high in absolute terms. This looks like a leftover from the early beta days, when heavy armor had a 100% recovery penalty. When all armors had their recovery penalties cut, this one was overlooked and stayed at 100%.
  • In addition to the above, this is explicitly flagged as a medium armor and provides medium-armor-grade protection. Its recovery penalty should therefore be consistent with other medium armors, not heavy. +35% is what it should be to be consistent.

 

In its current implementation, this armor makes Form of the Fearsome Brute a pretty bad ability (it doesn't help that the ogre's fists are much slower and weaker than a Monk's, and the ogre sports an attribute redistribution rather than straight-up bonus.)

Bump for visibility.
