The description says " -120% armor recovery penalty"

 

minus 100% would mean the armor penalty is removed completely and more than 100% that with armor they attack faster than a naked char.

 

Is the penalty lowered by 20% or is the text correct and I understand it the wrong way?

Heya Madscientist!

 

There's a bug in our database about the description being incorrect; "-120% armor recovery penalty" would be crazy! It's supposed to lower the penalty by 20%, so you're understanding it exactly right =)

aartz,

 

my apologies for the necro but something to consider: I understand the penalty to recovery time from wearing armor has been made significantly steeper in Deadfire. Going by memory, in PoE Brigandine and Plate Armor gave a 50% penalty; in Deadfire it's 100%. Shouldn't "Armor Grace" be rebalanced around this? 20% was a much bigger deal in PoE than it is in Deadfire; for the tier you get Armored Grace from 20% is rather unimpressive.

Only 120%? Madscientist, you need to drink some Mead!

Don't apologize, necros can be good! Keeping the discussion going (especially during a beta) is great =)

 

Also I see your point. I'll add an issue to our database suggesting another look at Armored Grace. 

 

Also also some Mead sounds pretty good right now... I could really use -1100% recovery time to help respond to all these threads  

Although when I drink Mead it doesn't reduce the recovery by 1100%. I mean in Deadfire. In real life my self-perceived recovery is inmead -1100%.
